Goodness me.

Asterix

Bloody hell.

Turns out Hjolund is actually a striker too. Who woulda thunk he'd flop at Man Utd?

PSG were without Dembele, Doue, Kvara, Neves and Marquinhos yesterday so really impressive to win away with so many key players out. Barca had a few players out as well to be fair. From what I’ve read Barca started stronger but after that PSG came into the game and their higher physical level showers. The high aggressive line Barca wanted to play got them into trouble yesterday.

These days it is a graveyard for footballing talent. You could see he had talent but was at a toxic club.

JazzG yeah I looked at the lineups and there were quite a few teenagers starting.

samthegooner the Pool fans know this, they been on Konate's back since the start of the seaosn.

QuincyAbeyie The Flarum Reddit plugin only embeds expanded Reddit content links, not shortened Reddit "share" links. The shortened links are a way to conceal utm_* Urchin Tracking Module URL query parameters tacked onto the full URL, and used by Reddit and its advertising partners.

It's annoying. Pasting the shortened link into a browser then copying the expanded URL for use here works.

I wish people would stop using the word trivela, as if using the outside of your boot is some kind of magic trick.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Gurgen I do it constantly in my poxy five a side 😂

Qwiss

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert yeah the 11 year olds I coach do it constantly too and it drives me mad. 😂

Gurgen

As Cruyff said, I have 6 ways of playing the ball with my feet, 3 for each. Perfectly ordinary thing.

3 for each? Ok I assume he means instep, outside the boot and back heel. Spare a couple thoughts for the poor forgotten toe poke.

It doesn't come naturally to everyone though. That's why it's special. You have to be really cosy with the football to execute precisely and with perfect weight without thinking in the midst of an actual game. It opens up a passing angle you would otherwise not be able to access, on your favored foot. I've seen Odegaard throw it out there a few times, but not nearly as frequently and accurately as Lamine.

MistaT

flobaba -- yeah I'm not sure why anyone is glossing over it or diminishing how hard it is.

There's a reason that people use the inside of their foot for 99+% of passes. The outside of the foot is so rarely used for a pass over 5 yards.

What would be reaaaaallly special is an off foot trivela! Not sure I've seen a great one of those.....

Rosicky was great at it. Big part of how he accelerated play.

Big Willie
just to be clear that things mean the same to us: the instep is the top of the foot/laces?
so what about the inside/arch of the foot ... the primary means of passing, dribbling and shooting? and then you have the sole, so 6 for each?

inside
outside
instep/top/laces
heel
toe

Yeah, no you're right, I used the wrong terminology. I meant the inside of the foot, like regular pass. That would be the number one of the 3 he mentions.

By the way, that toe poke reminded me it has been so many years since I gave a ball a proper toe punt. When we were kids under 10 it seemed to be the only way we could generate a lot of power to blast the ball in from distance playing goal to goal in the cages.
