Professional footballer passed ball into 40 yards of space, it's actually insulting to the man for bigging up that pass, your opinions of him must be through the floor

 

Getting this wrong would be worse than just dribbling to your own goal and smashing the ball in the net.

 

You can take a still frame of anything and make it look simple. 

 

The real skill and composure in his part of the goal comes with the way he waited, shaped to pass winks, drew the defender in the center circle out of position then released a well weighted pass into KDHs stride. 

 

He also didn't receive the ball in the position of this still frame he's had to turn on the edge of his own area win a 50/50 (after admititly a heavy touch) and carry it out. Don't get me wrong it won't make it through to highlights reel of his career but a good solid peice of play in big moment that deserves some credit.

Good post! 

A lazy player who wasn’t interested could’ve gone down and just stopped the play for a point.

 

The other players who are up for it were all over him as much as each other at full time. His attitude is fine for me, it’s just his demeanour. That’s not to say he’s playing any good or not, but it’s a bit of a thankless task for a striker in our setup which is worth bearing in mind.

...the weird thing is, this is what Nacho should be doing, further up the pitch!!!

What should he be doing further up the pitch?

The ball looked like it deflected off both west brom players before it came to kel

We could dissect the goal, Kelechi’s contribution until the cows come home.

 

It was a great footballing moment for us and hopefully the catalyst to some favourable games coming up 🤞🏻

...be aware of potential space to thread through passes to the forward players!!!

  He needs to be thinking as a #10, dropping deep is not what we want.

If someone needs to be pelting like that into the opponents half, Nacho is the last person on my list.

Bloody hell, that angle really exposes how crap Kels first touch was. So fortunate it then bounces off the defender. Did fine from there on of course!  Monster header from Vesty.

Blimey everyone's entitled to an opinion but it's clear you've just simply got an agenda against Iheanacho now...
