MooseBreath Posted 21 November 2015 Share Posted 21 November 2015 Come on moose seriously? We live in hope! Suggest you take another look at the replays if you don't think that ball had any spin on it. It cannoned off the top of the cross bar, physics. He controlled with his head when it bounced back up, that was intentional, it didn't hit his face at all. Then he reacted first and got himself in there to score. It was a perfectly good goal and a superb celebration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're clutching at straws, it was an embarrassing goal... Can't take away the credit for reactions and being in the right place... But he did not know anything about the "controlled" header, and did not have to out-strength anyone. You seriously telling me that physics was the reason he missed it? Come on.

MooseBreath Posted 21 November 2015 Share Posted 21 November 2015 Difficult to see the effect of the spin from that angle but it hit the bar which gave it top spin which made it move in towards the goal as it dropped, which is why it landed in front of shinji's attempted header. Then he controls it beautifully with his head and stabs it home. Perfectly good goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgfualol Posted 21 November 2015 Share Posted 21 November 2015 Really pleased he got a goal. Hopefully that'll sort out some doubts he might have had about himself, even if it was a weird goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he controls it beautifully with his head and stabs it home. Perfectly good goal. So let's get this straight... Physics 101 from moose. The ball hit the crossbar, and was spinning towards goal, which made the ball change its flight on the way down towards goal.... Yet when the ball hit the floor it did NOT spin forward, it actually came slightly backwards? Honestly... Just give up, As I said he came on, got a goal, ugly or not hopefully this Spurs him on to try and get more, but make no mistake, he had absolutely no impact on open play bar a scrappy goal he knew hardly anything about, I'd back any of our players to beat the keeper to it and score... But the majority wouldn't have needed to, they'd have scored the first header off the bar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilPablo Posted 21 November 2015 Share Posted 21 November 2015 I knew I wouldn't be disappointed coming to have a look on this thread. "Shinji doesn't score he's rubbish" Now he's scored "the goal wasn't good enough for it to be worthy of any praise" You guys. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooseBreath Posted 21 November 2015 Share Posted 21 November 2015 Came off Elliot. No crossbar. https://streamable.com/4jcp Correct, ball comes off the keeper, lots of spin on it, moving all over the place in the air. Not an easy chance to convert.

bovril Posted 21 November 2015 Share Posted 21 November 2015 To be honest he's done brilliantly there as the entire stadium seems to be experiencing some kind of earthquake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unabomber Posted 21 November 2015 Share Posted 21 November 2015 Surely now no one will slag him off? So embarrassing that anyone did before (I haven't read this thread so don't know if anyone has, just assuming as we have some stupid fans) He has amazing work rate and what a goal today, not seen control with the head like that for a while.

MarshallForEngland Posted 21 November 2015 Share Posted 21 November 2015 It looked like he got a nudge in the back to me which made him miss the header. He didn't give up on it and got the goal. Why some of you insist on slating him whatever he does I don't know, especially when we've just dicked Newcastle away and are top of the league. Will you ever be happy?

The Doctor Posted 21 November 2015 Share Posted 21 November 2015 Okazaki is the Emperor's new clothes. Anyone who is critical of his contribution obviously doesn't understand football as he does the ugly side of the game and only the true connoisseurs of the game can understand this. Id say he's more the theory of a heliocentric solar system. Those who are intelligent can see that actually it's quite good, even if it is unconventional, while the Luddites are sticking their fingers in their ears and saying it's not the way we've always thought of it so it must be wrong.

Spiritwalker Posted 21 November 2015 Share Posted 21 November 2015 He has contributed to us being top of the league. He still needs time to adjust and is still a bit lightweight but that will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 21 November 2015 Share Posted 21 November 2015 Great for his confidence scoring today. I've said before I still think he'll bag us goals this season. Even when he doesn't score he contributes to the team in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdb Posted 21 November 2015 Share Posted 21 November 2015 Worry about those criticising a player for scoring a goal. Cheer up. He reacted quicker than 3 other players. That'll generally be enough to cause problems for the opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
