Kid Icarus Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 23 minutes ago, Pilko said: His kicking is bloody dreadful but he saved us two points towards the end with that save. He's generally not a good kicker, but I have to admit that the last few matches it hasn't been anywhere near as bad as previously. His long kicking generally stays in play now. By comparison, against PSG last season he hit 4 goal kicks in a row into touch with alarming accuracy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the years following football I didn't really get the pass back rule but after you laughing at me I googled it. Apologies I wasn't aware it was an enforceable rule. I had though he could control the pass with his foot and then pick the ball up Even more reason why its stupid to pass back to him he can't kick with any sort of accuracy.

Conjo Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Up until last season his poor kicking really annoyed me. Now I just laugh at how poor he is at it. He makes up for it by being really good at everything else, but it'd be a huge fucking upgrade to the team if an equally good keeper who can somewhat control a ball with his feet became available. We do lose possession a lot every single game due to him both directly when he kicks the ball out for throw ins and indirectly when players don't dare pass it back to him and ends up hoofing the ball aimlessly up the field to the opposing teams defenders.

I love to believe the theory that most deep kicks from pope was strategic /intentional. And the reason is instead of taking risk of loosing possession in our own half due his "deficiencies" let force a throw in deep into enemy half & win the possession back through our high press there.
