Cah smother that boss, it came too hard and hit the lower wrist by the joint, that will always bounce out. Maybe if he got it on his fingers it would have been able to push wide or behind. Or flush on the palm where it would of had more cushion. So many things can happen. But in all occasions none of his defenders gave him any cover, they all stood flat footed watching the ball. You will only know the stress when u actually save in a real game, it not that easy as it looks.
Elan.....once you have any angular approach to a goal you are ALWAYS supposed to shoot across the GK's body and put it last post. Casillas did a poor job of covering his goal, he was supposed to have come out a couple more feet against balo (and he didn't quite do his legendary status any favours on the goal he conceded either) so I wouldn't study too much what you think Casillas was attempting to do. to me, he was setting himself up for failure, Balotelli spit the bit and didn't use the chance he earned for himself. Furthermore, the only man close enough to Balotelli for a tap-in wasn't close enough to the goal for a tap-in. Balo was supposed to plant that ball in the back of the net.
We gonna have to disagree, because I believe Casillas actually did well in that situation. What stopped him from coming out further was that Ballotelli slowed down immensely after charging into the box. If Casillas had come further out then he could have gotten chipped or make the first post available. The ball on the foot of the player will keep the keeper from moving forward.
There are no MUST in soccer, there is shooting at goal and then there is finishing, Ballotelli would have had a shot, but he would not have finished.
I also think that Casillas did well in the situation.. Not always you have to come storming off your line in a 1 v 1 situation... Staying put as Casillas did limited Balotelli to one option, which is to shoot for the far post. If he had committed, Balotelli would have had 3 or 4 options, shoot far post, round the keeper, shoot through legs.... and even possibly a chip.
If you look at the replay, it seems that Balotelli is actually waiting for Casillas to commit to then decide what to do, and when that never happened he look like a deer in the headlights. I think staying at home put him off.
to answer both of you, in a one-on-one situation, you are suppose to match the attacker's speed so I am not suggesting that he shoulda come rushing out at Balo, but he still left him too much far post to shoot at and the only 2 ways tp make up for that was for him to shift to his right....and compromise his first post as well....or take a couple steps forward. That move may have put balotelli off, but against a more seasoned, composed and experienced striker, he was paying the price....or pulling off one HECK of a save like Buffon did yesterday.
Even if Casillas charged Balo, he would not have relinquished all them 3 or 4 options as you described, dinho, (1) going around him puts him to have to deal with all the defenders converging on him (2) I not sure that forwards really see shooting through a 'keeper's legs as a viable "option". It's just something that happens when they make a poor choice of shooting straight at him and (3) the only way Balo was chipping that ball at an onrushing Casillas was if he made himself small....like he did when Di Natale scored.
Good luck today guys...........[quote author=Flickin Killa a/k/a Mad Scorpion link=topic=28966.msg799733#msg7997
Will remind yuh next year when allyuh watching even de group stages. Doh fear, if allyuh slip by Benfica, ah cutarse book in de semis.
In whatever else you get up to on this Champions League Wednesday.
Anybody seen Dinho? Sadist kinda scarce since he was bussin up he mouth before Man U/Ajax. Looks like all yuh jokes bout Europa league coming to an end withde way yuh shit side playing.
Bless
Wait is Europa Legaue you on about......
This is why yuh have to join a firm and start beatin opposing fans.
I agree, where ah could sign up for dat?
. Not a bad interview at all. Waiting to hear Coop's take on this though.
Validates what point? You're not making any. Cech wasn't playin' for no offside. The cross was delivered at the ideal place that gives GK's nightmares and he realised at the last instant that hernandez was beating his defender and him (Cech) to the ball. Plain and simple. It happens to GK's all the time. The only way he would have been able to play that particular cross "better" would have been if he had cheated on the cross and that may not have been a wise thing to do, either.
......just as funny is how Torres is suddenly a "shitsnake" in your eyes. When he was scorin' goals for liverpool, leff an' right, including his most recent ones he score against Chelsea, yuh couldn't wet up yuh victoria secrets enough, could you? Now he gone to a better team and yuh gettin' them all messy and red like a liverpool kit. Yuh actin' like a woman scorned and is not a good look.
Jackass... Elan is the one saying Cech was playing for offside. I said IF that is the case then it validates my point that he shitty. At least learn tuh f**king read before yuh come skin out yuh cyat in de thread. If he WASN'T playing for offside then he run out to flap at the ball just as he's done on MANY occasions this season alone. Yuh don't have to agree with it and yuh don't have to accept it.
And as for Torres... yes he's a shitsnake and it's not just about his current form. Yuh quick to make argument without basise. If yuh was to read my comments in the Liverpool thread long before the transfer you'd see I was fighting against fight to still support him, while complaining about his attitude and body language. Fact is he quit on Liverpool and force a transfer at the last possible minute putting the club in a desperate situation. Thankfully allyuh greedy owner was even more desperate tuh have him. Like I said, let him go chase hardware. Watch him end up in La Liga after next season... IF he survives next season.
I also find it funny that according to you I acting "like a woman scorned"... de way you running after every kernel of corn I drop fuh yuh'd swear you either hungry fuh chain up, or yuh's ah jilted woman yuhself.
only a c**t like you would assume that I quoted both of you but can't see who wrote what. Only a frowzy c**t like you would not recognize that I am addressing you, because even if elan offererd up his own theory, you is the one always acting to be smarter than and more knowledgeable about football than everybody else. My statement about Cech not playing for offside is obviously directed at both of you, since elan bought it up and you, with all your self-proclaimed expert analysis, was stupid enough to fight him dong about it. Albeit on a play blown dead, that had no bearing on the game. If you really know what you were talking about you wasn't going to waste time with elan's theory.....according to you. The clean sheets that Cech and the Chelsea defense have been turning out year after year, flies in the face of your grandiose assertion that he is "overrated" and "shitty" and yuh swear yuh sayin' sumting. You cannot even tell where Cech's game has supposedly dropped off so much since his injury but yuh jumpin' on the bandwagon about his form. Your shit side could do with some of them clean sheets instead of flaming out in the EPL every year and being eliminated by second-tier Portuguese teams.
Like I said before, yuh was gladly biting in to Torres' testicles when he was scoring goals all over the place up until the last time he scored against chelsea. He wanted to leave a side that rafa and the owners took from a lucky CL Trophy, to the shambolic shell of its old self in no time flat, struggling for fourth place, year in, year out. Yuh should be glad that Chelsea's greedy owner came and offered y'all sorry side a 50M lifeline to get rid of a man that was becoming a cancer to your team. It helped allyuh get a player yuh so despised after the World Cup but whose nuts you are rapidly subbin' in yuh mouth for Torres own.....but yet yuh still bitter. Where Torres end up next year or the year after that is no concern. Chelsea will be playing for a CL trophy next year. You predictin' the future but cyah even see the present. You must be the only c**t in this whole universe that still think Dunga coaching Brazil as per your dumb post yesterday.
