You'd like to think they'd actively and exhaustively explored all the options on the training ground. Tho there's this lingering doubt that it's more a case of 'nah, I'm the captain, I'm taking the free kicks' like they're still at school or something
Shirley the all-powerful (or not) algorithm could specifically target some transfer, er, targets, whose speciality is free kicks, even if they're maybe slightly less well-developed in other areas of their game. Be More Chippy :thumbsup:
To be fair, it did hit the bar.
To be fairer, there must be one of our silky-skilled Spanish speakers who could make a better fist of it. And I don't mean Milner
Pretty sure there's somebody in our squad currently who could do something other than just gormlessly welly it into the wall every time. One of our silky South Americans maybe?
João Pedro is totally clinical with his penalties. Maybe he's the same at free-kicks? Has anybody actually asked? Sounds like 'ability to take decent free kick' could be added to the fabled Starlizard metrics when contemplating future signings?
