Yorkie Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Can't stop watching that strike. If that's in a PL game with a bit more at stake than just being an early course-correcting equaliser, it's our goal of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 It's on par with Isak (Liverpool) and Ben Arfa (Everton), only beaten by Martins (Spurs) imo, for strikes on the past 20 year that I can remember. Such a shame it was 'wasted' against Bromley, no keeper in the worpd saves it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it was a good hit but at a medium height and not hit with the venom of the Robert thunderblasters (I know that's more than 20 years ago). St Maximin and Schar have had better hits in recent history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Maximin and Schar have had better hits in recent history. Robert's were usually further out but hit with an arced trajectory, I may be forgetting a proper stinger from him though. I just love strikes where the ball seens to barely move in the air and arrows past the keeper, Isak's is probably the best example as you can see the ball barely turning on it's axis once it was hit.

Bellars Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Love how after the ball hit the net, it kept violently spinning on the ground after. can’t imagine how good it must feel to leather one like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might have just been positive PR for him, but I remember someone saying Tonali had the hardest shot in the squad. After Sunday's evidence, I respectfully disagree.

Lush Vlad Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I agree with Jonny. Osula’s goal was better. Still a belter, of course. On the season, Barnes at Wolves and Isak against Liverpool beat it. So without trying too hard to remember any others. It’s top 5, for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronson333 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 It’s time for him to be starting ahead of Big Joe, especially for home games. Yesterday against Fulham - and against Bournemouth too - it’s clear we can’t control a game with the current midfield. He’s a talent - probably the best one to come through in a decade - and needs games to progress further. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 The current midfield that was lauded as best in the league if not Europe? Crazy what two defeats has done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Mover Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Had to go and find Miley on the second page. I think he flies under the radar a lot, he's not flashy, doesn't get into fights and get booked, he just gets on with it. He finds space and virtually never wastes a pass. He's press resistant and never seems hurried. He does need to get more involved, the more we ask him to do the more he'll show what a good footballer he is. Not at all sure what his best position is yet but that will come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all sure what his best position is yet but that will come. He's extremely calm on the ball for his age, and very neat and tidy. If he started alongside Bruno and Tonali, I think we'd see a much better player and he'd certainly be more forward thinking. He's going to be class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 That was a tough game for anyone last night and as an 18 year those 105 minutes will have been great experience. Agree with the comments above, he's very calm and assured in all situations, even against top European CL sides as he showed last season. There's a lot more to come from him in terms of the eye catching stuff, final passes, set pieces and scoring goals but for now he's ticking along nicely.
