Ric Flair Posted 13 January 2022 Share Posted 13 January 2022 I did think him being away for a few weeks back in France and then the Maldives was odd for a player supposedly only weeks away from full fitness. I suspect he's not going to start outside training again until Feb and won't be available until March/April. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vardinio'sCat Posted 13 January 2022 Share Posted 13 January 2022 On 29/12/2021 at 15:39, An Away Move said: I noticed it too. Looks like his thigh bones are rotated inwards. I always wondered if it might be bad news for him at some point. Some players just have postures that don’t look right. Knockaert is another. His lower back is very arched. Might give him jip when he’s older. This is a thing I sometimes consider in relation to Kel. He is slightly pigeon-toed with a sort of arse out hip alignment and awkward running style don't help his mobility, but interestingly he does generate tremendous power with little backlift, and those 2 things are partly a function of his frame and physique, imho. Youri is another one who has a wide frame that helps create his strolling style of football. Beckham was another like that I remember, and also there was something funny about Dalgliesh and his ability to hold players of with his butt. I think there is a great book to be written about how great players maximise their physical traits, maybe it has already been done by someone. I searched Dalgliesh and big arse, this is the first result, featuring Kel. https://www.joe.co.uk/sport/the-secret-science-of-having-a-massive-arse-in-football-82826 One thing I know about modern sport is that these footballers have top draw computerised gait analysis and the very finest custom orthotics, finely tuned to minimise the risks associated with their physique. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out George Best in his prime and maybe Mahrez. Lowers centre of gravity. Positive benefit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, was “contact” training really that difficult to specify? Anyway, no player coming off serious injury leaves the gym and jumps into contact training outside on day one.

Really? He backed off about 10 yards, enough that Lookman could curl it bottom corner either side and it's a likely goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure how Alisson didn't save it to be honest. I'm not saying he's defending it perfectly, but I think he did what he set out to do.
