    Interesting photos of players striking a ball. Obviously the end result was not known, but i would hazard a guess the only one that was on target was number 41. poise and balance there for all to see. What was it at the Fulham game? 23 shots and 5 0n target! Some of these photos tell a lot.

    Ben Greenwood

    With the greatest respect to Ben Greenwood, the photo of him kicking a ball on the official web page reflects the high percentage of players who kick a ball and just hope it's on target. he has had an hamstring problem. I'm not surprised. Bending the foot sideways and hitting a shot puts a...

    Chloe Kelly's Penalty

    Have we ever seen a finer penalty than this one? This was Poetry in motion. The calmness in the way she strode up did a hop skip and a jump and then thundered the ball into the top of the net with her instep was amazing. No goalkeeper would have been able to stop it. The shot was faster than any...

    Georgia Stanway

    What a great action photo of the England number 10 in the Mail this morning. perfect balance, head over the ball, driving through with the instep shot. The ball never rose more than six feet as it hit the net. 23 yards out a very worthy winner! Many male players could take a lesson from it...

    Non Flight Refuelling FC 1961/62

    I played for this team in the Dorset Combination, playing at the Merley Ground. I remember winning the Dorset Cup at Blandford. The company put a photo of the team in the company magazine. Unfortunately my copy got lost. Does anyone who was at the company at that time or who played in the...

    Has football changed when shooting

    Call me old fashioned or what. When I was playing in the Dorset league in the early sixties we used the instep to shoot unless it was a tap in. Today you see the majority of professional players shoot with the side of their foot even from distance or taking a penalty. Rightly or wrongly is this...

    None JamesMaddison & Youri Tielmans

    What a delight to see 2 shots perfectly executed. No side footing the ball both shots hit with the instep with the toe facing downwards. I'm posting this because it is rarely seen unfortunately. What we do see is the foot angled to the side and row z is usually the recipient. Newcastle V...

    Rodrigo

    LionelC said: Another major thing I noticed last night, (Cardiff) the players seem unable to hit a moving ball first time, they have to take a touch before shooting by which time it's too late their closed down. Surely that's should be covered in training. It probably is covered in training...

    Buy Back Option

    Talk about Chelsea having a buy Back option for Ake. Questions regarding this 1 Can Ake refuse to go? 2 Can Eddie refuse a transfer? 3 Can the asking price be more than 40 ml ? 4 What if someone else offered 50ml ?

    Confidence

    Nothing more illustrated lack of confidence against Burnley when Brooks with the goal gaping side footed the ball gently back to the goalkeeper instead of putting his foot through it into the far post corner of the net. this is typical throughout the team and needs to be sorted quickly.

    We made them look like Barcelona

    The times I have read this statement from opposing fans when they have lost to us or been under siege from our fast passing game. This again came over from the Spurs Forum. It is always "We made them" Quite amusing!!

    Shooting ability

    After watching the highlights video I could hardly believe the finishing of King, Pugh and Defoe. I know they don't have the ability of Harry Kane but for pro players very disappointing. Pugh leaning back and skying the ball. Kings weak side footed attempt and Defoe through on goal and not...
