One of my perennial beefs surfaced again on Saturday and I've not seen it picked up on here.  So often you see a "lip service"  attempt to block a long range shot, by a player who turns his back on the shot instead of going in face-on, and by so doing allows the shot to go through when it should have been stopped.  The culprit on Saturday was Fatawu.  He does well to get out to the oppo player but then negates it by turning his back at the moment when the ball is struck.  If he'd remained face-on then he could have watched where the ball was being struck and put his foot in the way.

 

I see this time and again and cannot understand why it isn't drummed into pro footballers, if they aren't already aware, that the technique to block a shot involves keeping your eyes on the ball until the shotviscmade.

Reflex...

SO the guy won't be joining the

SAS soon.. 

If it had it him,.. And layed him flat, we could say "too slow & stupid" 

"Poor for a techi-winger.. DROP him" 

 

Perspectives, perspectives..! 

Makes villains or heroes.. Dunnit..

Very amusing that opposition fans think Hermansen is iffy. It just shows how easy it is to not appreciate the intricacies of the way teams play. I'd be guilty of it too, questioned some of the signings and previously wouldn't have understood the importance but my god how can you not pick up on his elite distribution?

Does  this means we can now be off-loading Ward onto our Welsh bretheren... :rolleyes:

Literally zero pressure on Vestergaard by the Swansea players lol how can they just allow him to walk with the ball and play one twos with Winks. The Championship is ****ing terrible. 

 

That's what we want them to do, that's part of the game plan of teams like us and Brighton, draw the player in and then break the lines through the space they leave.

Probably didn’t want to get blasted in the face from point blank range. These professional footballers can kick a ball with some real venom/power

The ball went past Fatawu at below knee level.  You don't get a ball to rise from ground level to face level after travelling a max of 2ft.

No, it's a question of professionalism.
