Wrong Abbs.
The correct answer is........... None were hoofballs. Both goals resulted from excellently judged long passes.

 

[ABBEY]

You say pass I say hoof .

Taxi to Specsavers for Abbey.

You should be a reporter on Sky Sports!

"Now over to Abbey in Turin - talk us through the goal"

Missed my calling

 

[geedog]

To be fair anyone with the ability to run could have stuck it in the net.... It was all in the first pass and vision to see the man on.

lump n vision

I disagree totally with that geedog. Just a wonderfully worked and executed goal in anyone's book. Carbon copy of Jamie Vardy's goal which won MoTD's goal of the season.

Just reading Jamie Vardy’s autobiography at the moment, he’s a bit of fresh air in the football world. Comes across as a decent normal bloke.

So are you saying the cross has nothing to do with the goal? Because as I see it the cross is around 70% of the move and the toe flick is 30% to wrong foot the keeper, granted if it wasn't flicked in the last min the keeper would catch it but to get the ball into that position in the first place is true genius, not the toe flick at the end.

Dont forget G that gordons idea of the beautiful game is to boot the pig skin as high as the floodlights and then head it and boot it goal bound in hope. His heroes are zzzam and john beck.

Completely wrong ... as usual. There are two passes in football, good ones and bad ones. The distance of them is irrelevant.

Neither of them is a cross for starters, both were fantastic balls from deep positions into the path of the striker. Vision is crucial and execution just as important. However given time and space lots of quality midfielders could 'hit a hat on a stick' from 30 / 40 yards 9 times out of 10. Playing / controlling / striking a ball that is coming over your shoulder as you sprint is a rare and amazing natural talent, (Damien Duff could take an 'over the top' ball from a defender in his stride whilst at full speed and tbh that was the first time I can ever rem anyone doing it on a regular basis.) hitting the back of the net with one is just God given.

You are right gord but it does take a good ball to you ( not name dropping here as that's not me ) duff has had loads of conversation with me about how he was only as good as the ball passed to him, as and he will tell you he was as lazy as hell off the ball and would only run if the pass deserves it.

Reports from most people in his company always said that DD was modest and unassuming though. All I know is that Mourhino paid over 17m for a lazy player with poor ability who had just been named in the UEFA team of the year.

Yes I was told that he was in tears when pulled from the team plane to be transferred to Chelsea. He didn't really want to go. I wish we had more like him (Dack?)
