Mark Albrighton Posted Sunday at 11:20 VT Supporter Share Posted Sunday at 11:20 2 hours ago, TheMelvillan said: Dying to know how much of a rarity that strike was for Duran. Like, does he hit those in training and maybe 1 in 100 hit the top corner? Or is that a regular thing for him? How surprised was he that it hit the top corner I wonder As has been mentioned, he’s had a spectacular effort nearly go in against Citeh. His goals against Palace last season, against Ajax…he’s clearly got in him to score these sort of goals. 26 minutes ago, blunther said: It shouldn’t matter as far as how good the goal was, but knowing that McGinn’s was an equaliser in a game we went on to lose, whereas this was the winning goal in a 3-2 does make this one have the edge for me. Yeah I kinda try and remove the context of the game but it’s difficult. What amounts to a consolation goal in the championship fixture v a winning goal in The Most Played Fixture (trademark) having been two nil down. It’s tricky not to factor that in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onmeedson Posted Sunday at 11:30 Share Posted Sunday at 11:30 The latest thinking is not to shoot outside the box, Big John just chews on coaching advice and spits it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Moustache of Teale Posted Sunday at 11:39 Popular Post Share Posted Sunday at 11:39 The good old-fashioned put your foot through the ball screamer has become a rare thing in the modern-day era of technical safety-first and all too often clinical football. That goal was a hark back to the good old days and was a thing of absolute beauty. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted Sunday at 11:44 Share Posted Sunday at 11:44 I must admit you could tell exactly what was on his mind and immediately though what the hell is he thinking shooting from there..............

If you pause the video as he hits the ball you will see the stripes cut into the pitch grass have 6 yard spacing as they line up perfectly with the 6 yard box, penalty spot and 18 yard box. I make that a 31 yard shot from the goal line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted Sunday at 12:14 VT Supporter Share Posted Sunday at 12:14 I was reminded of Savo but looking back it's much closer in than Duran. Nevertheless one hell of a goal to grace a Cup Final. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinebro Posted Sunday at 12:40 Share Posted Sunday at 12:40 He just knows how to score goals I do believe he is a more natural goalscorer than Watkins is On current form I would probably start him ahead of Watkins but it's a nice luxury problem to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of McGinns volley but you can generate a lot more power from a volley. To hit a ball that hard with hardly any back lift is mental. McGinn's against Sheffield Wednesday because it was a volley. For distance Stiliyan Petrov's against Derby. For total amazement Chris Nicholl's against Everton or Savo's in the League Cup final.

Like others, I was thinking "What are you doing?!" when JD started winding up to shoot. And like Emi/Yuri I had my hands on my head for a good couple of minutes when it went in! The only problem is that the crowd will be calling him to shoot from anywhere and everywhere going forward. No doubt Emery will get fed up with that like O'Leary used to get with Der Hammer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see if he develops the ability that Ollie has to be in the right place to score the tap ins as well as the great finishes. It's the old cliche of great goalscorers vs scorers of great goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
