jmr Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 Looked like he wanted to touch it down then bang it to me but was off balance. But he could have meant it, I just dunno.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I think he meant it. If he didn't, what is he trying to do, control it or pass it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddidiodion Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Oh and he said in his interview when asked was he happy with his performance "well I'm happy with the finish but disappointed we conceded 2 goals". He might be lying but looking at his body language as he hits it I think it's very unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Bias is a noun. You're looking for the adjective 'biased'. Or he's misplaced a couple of clarifying commas, "no bias, Man United fans, please" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LokedOut420 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I think he meant it. If he didn't, what is he trying to do, control it or pass it? this really. there is no reason he would try to control it there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Ritchie Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 He makes no attempt to stay on his feet. If he wanted to control the ball he wouldn't have been happy to fall to the ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McMaster#28 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 He probably meant it to come off his instep rather than his heel, but he meant to shoot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HisHolyHighness Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Look at him, look at how he's positioned, his foot, where he is looking, him falling to the ground, the colour of his shorts. Of course he meant it. Heres a question: What else was he meant to be doing? Controlling it? And then what, after he's fell to the ground, doing the worm into the net. I think he meant.

craigcwwe Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Definitely meant it imo, think he meant to get the inside of his foot on the ball rather than his heel, but it went in thankfully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bell Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Who cares... it nestled in the onion bag and that's all that matters. Couldnt care less if he had prodded it home with the top of his penis. BTW, he meant it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

foofighter23 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 looked to me like he tried to control it with his right, shielding it from the keeper and slotting it in with his left. he knew it was in when it hit him tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was going down, why would you try and control a bal when your balance is going. He knew he would not control it and just aimed to get a goalbound hit as most strikers would. Whether he was lucky it went in is a more valid question but no chance he was just trying to control it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pukey Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I can't tell tbh. If he did mean it (and I'm leaning towards believing he did mean it) then it's a brilliant goal. I'm not his biggest fan at all and wouldn't have been bothered if he wasn't called up, but he's really impressed me so far. Glad he's proved me wrong.

Zvonimir Boban Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 He was going down, why would you try and control a bal when your balance is going. Eh? His balance is only going because he tries to backheel it in I'm pretty sure he meant it and it's definitely more deliberate than that Bergkamp goal against Newcastle at any rate. People's perceptions are being clouded by the fact that he's looked a bit rubbish so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

snootyjim Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Because he's a young, inexperienced player, it's easy to pass it off as unintentional. If it had been Ibrahimovic at the other end nobody would have suggested it was unintentional. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
