No. I was replying to somebody who asked what I felt about better players than Crofts who miss true open goals and I said that I get worried that they're paid to kick a ball for a living but also said I have rarely seen a player round the keeper with a clear sight on goal and put it wide. I...

I can understand that. So could you add a bit more as I'm not quite sure what point you are making?

Would you care to explain?

Not digging at all mate. He's just tried to make me look stupid multiple times during this thread and has been wrong both times. Probably why he hasn't replied to me both of those points and instead, decided to pick words out of what I have been saying to dig himself out.

Well said. I was just asking people if they would have had him down as undroppable if he hadn't scored against Burnley and I've been slaughtered for it.

When I was talking to somebody about his performance. Maybe if you weren't a plank of wood, you might be able to work that one out.

Err sorry Mr Clever boy. I'm not talking about this goal. If you would like to read the the rest of the quotes, maybe you can try and use your clever brain to work it out! :thumbsup:

I'm not worried at all. Just getting frustrated with the morons on here who have ignored my original point on this thread from the beginning and decided to pull out words from what I have said and argue them. As I said, my original point was just questioning why people were saying he was...

Worried when it does happen but I have hardly ever seen somebody who has rounded the keeper and has an open goal in front of them miss the target.

Yes. He did make it look easy. But I would be worried if a professional footballer who gets paid money to kick a ball for a living is unable to get that shot on target. And seeing as he was able to get it on target, and the keeper was so off balance, I would class it as a tap-in. You might not...

Yes Crofts was off balance. But as I have already said, regardless of whether he was off balance or not, he wasn't off balance enough to prevent him from kicking the ball on target. By kicking the ball or target, the keeper is given very little chance to save it as he has to shuffle across the...

It was easier to score than a penalty because by getting it on target, he gives the keeper very little chance to save it because he is so off balance.

Yes.

No. The keeper is in the center of the goal and has full balance when the ball is struck.

The keeper was on that side when the ball was struck by Crofts but was off balance after running from the near post back to where Crofts was.

Sorry, when I say tap in, I mean getting it on target. Keepers do save tap ins. It wasn't simple, but you'd be shocked if a professional footballer wasn't able to get it on target.

Errr, the tap in where Ulloa played a ball with no spin or bounce right into the path of Crofts whilst the keeper is running back to the other side of the goal only for Crofts to tap the ball in from 11 yards out. If the keeper had saved it, then fair enough. It would have been a very good save...

If a professional footballer who is paid to kick a ball for a living is unable to hit that shot on target, I suggest they take up knitting.

What a strange post. Somebody else who seems to ignore the point. Apart from the goal, he contributed nothing to suggest he is undroppable. The performances against Brum and Leeds suggested he was more droppable. So why does a tap in make a difference?

So who was available to play the Bridcutt/Crofts role on Saturday instead then?
