Woodrow's - composed, weaker foot, perfect placement and not just a blast anywhere. This is what he can do. Mowatt's - he shaped so early to hit that, there's a little skip before the shot that sets his angle perfectly. And the placement and curl sublime. Proper football in build up too. Two great players on their day. This team can play football, entertain, and be effective on its day. Norwich will be a great challenge and measure of how we're doing.
Agreed and Callum Styles so nearly added a third that would have been equally classy in the first half. Woodrow so nearly got a second after half time and Victor’s....... Oh well
Yeah, rest him, and go with a forward line of Adeboyejo, Freiser and Miller. That will definitely work...
Cauley’s was a great finish, seemed to do the keeper with the eyes. Alex has nailed that technique of the ball coming from his left with him sticking it in the right side of the goal. Fantastic.
Vic was at least trying to do the right thing, no unthinking blast, he'd seen the keeper going down early and tried to place it beyond his legs. Got the placement hopelessly wrong. But missing is an occupational hazard for strikers so he just needs to learn and get on with it. I'm surprised the ref didn't blow for a foul as he beat the defender for strength - something the ref did repeatedly against us.
I'd have opened my body up and passed it into the gaping goal to the keepers left. This shoot across the keeper malarkey is an overcoached nonsense. Shoot at where most of the goal is visible.
The second goal especially was as good a team move as you'd get to see, brilliantly finished by Mowatt
I reckon he could've megged him, a classic bit of Big Vic sh1thousery. Would've loved to see that. Their keeper looked all over the place at times
He tried to go for the far post that the goalkeeper was literally standing on, instead of the 9 feet of space he’d left him at the near post.
That little skip Mowatt did to set himself up and the entire build-up for that goal was simply orgasmic. Really beautiful goal.
He usually caresses his shots, and that was all that was needed last night, to the keeper's left. But for some reason he's tried leathering it into the other corner. Bizarre from him. But he's been a revelation and we won the game, so f*** it.
