He was close enough and had enough surface area to score into that power was fine in this case. Obviously, it was closer to the keeper than I had first thought and he was a tad fortunate that GK didn’t throw his hands up, but generally they try to make themselves more wide.
I like to fake to get the GK to bite, then decide how to react. A lot of times they lose their bearings just enough that you can find a side to imbalance. In the case of Iwobi, he had to react fast and smash it, so power and height was a good choice, just make sure you get it on frame and don’t hit it over the bar.
I’m not a striker but my preference is to lob him the moment he comes out. Nothing better than a beautifully executed chip
As a centre back my favourite kind of goal to score was a thumping header.
Though to be fair I literally never scored a goal with either of my feet so I wouldn’t know how that feels haha
Me too, played CB. Headers feel great, I had a poor mans David Luiz type boot on me, scored a couple worldies from way out Fun just because everyone is like where the fuck did that come from?
my football career:
CB im primary school
RB secondary school
Hungover mess that didn’t know his arse from his elbow at powerleague.
Goals werent my thing either lads.
My finishing is proper Walcott ‘smash it right to the keepers hands’ style unfortunately.
Im guessing we aren’t signing up for a 5 aside tournament any time soon then?
And the first goal
Going to give Ramsey some competition for who can be the best for their national team and worst for Arsenal awards.
Do you really think Iwobi is bad for us?
He’s certainly a talented player but I feel like he should be out on loan atm. Looks really gun shy for us so I find it surprising he’s playing with such confidence for his national team atm.
I just hope it’s part of his development and not like Ramsey who looks like a completely different player when it comes to Wales.
Iwobi sending Mascherano back to his mother’s womb. Oh stop it Alex, think of his kids
Two good goals and he seems to play well for Nigeria. Wish he could do the same for us
Leave him alone. He’s great for both. Arsenal legend, scorer of great goals and Puskas award winner, don’t you know
Alex we’ll be due a purple patch at some point during the season. Feel it needs to ‘click’ with him.
Iwobi put Mascherano out for a month with that nutmeg
He gave us an extra drive forward; when we shift to 4-3-3 he should play. Excellent chemistry with ozil lac an Sánchez
