roseboy64 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 It's his build most likely plus he probably wears shirt(s) under his top. Weird but his lack of stamina isn't the weight. It's either natural or he doesn't work on it enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggressive minor Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 You're better off just watching the keeper as you run in and making your mind up that way, thats all Cantona/Le Tisser/Balotelli ever does. Watch the keeper, if he doesn't move early stick it in the corner because it's too late and if he does roll it to the other side. Saying that putting it anything above waist height to either side is a guaranteed goal anyway, I get the feeling lots of players just don't practice penalties much. Being very picky here. Agree with Cantona/Balotelli. Pretty sure Le Tissier said he always chose his corner beforehand and just powered it with a strong side foot shot. iirc the one time he missed was when he changed his mind.

Pretty sure Le Tissier said he always chose his corner beforehand and just powered it with a strong side foot shot. iirc the one time he missed was when he changed his mind. I was going off the video here: where he says he favoured the left corner but he always watched the goalkeeper and if he saw him going early towards his corner he'd stick it in the other direction. Seems like the best way of doing things especially if you can sidefoot the ball as hard as Le Tis could. The video does scientifically prove one thing though, a massive gut and old age do blunt your effectiveness from the spot, still better than Rooney's percentage though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheps. Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Quite confident in Keane doing well enough there. Lingard is definitely talented enough for that level, it'll be interesting to see if he can cope physically though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aderow Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 He has a better name though. That helps. He certainly does Lingard will be fine. It might take him a bit, but he should adapt to the physicality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

metal_guitarist Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Another good move. Seems like they are opening the space for Januzaj who starts tonight, he hasn't been involved at u18 level despite still being eligible. So maybe they are trying to fast track him a bit. He still doesn't look near ready for me. Maybe around this time next year but I'll be very surprised if he's pushed through before then, especially with Powell, Lingard, Cole and Brady around.

Pangaea Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Think you're right about that, and he has also looked a level above in some of the U18 matches I've seen, so maybe they want to test him at a higher level to see how he responds. Plus, many reserve players have been loaned out which opens up more opportunities for players like Januzaj and Dæhlie. 1-1 was disappointing though, against a team that only had 3 points in 8 matches this season. Should have won. They've learnt too much from the first team and went 0-1 within 5 minutes Cracking goal by Powell though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddidiodion Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 He's not all that highly thought of, he's a decent enough defender. I think he started out as a centerback but has been shunted out to the left because Blackett is injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSB Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 On another note, no Scholes or Fletcher in squad for Braga - playing at weekend? Could be a good partnership for Villa that. Reckon Giggs starts tomorrow. Smalling to be involved somehow according to SAF; sounds like Buttner will start too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangaea Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Michael Keane and Lingard played for Leicester, so that's a good sign. Neither played the whole match (Keane started and Lingard came on at the end), but from what I read they did well enough. Hopefully they get plenty of minutes. Would be great if we secured qualification tomorrow. Sounds like a reserve-ish side, but hopefully we can pull it off nevertheless. Hope Smalling will play at DC, though I suppose Rafael could really need a rest now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
