Match Of The Day Goal Of The Season

[PLTuck]

This one?

Yes! Love it.

 

[nailsy]

It was a tough choice this season. There's usually one goal that really stands out for me, but any one of those eight could have won.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Yes! Love it.

And Keano would do stuff like that every week.

Sorry for taking the thread off on a tangent @nailsy.

Keane would have been the one player in recent history I'd love to see in our current set up. Drool. (Thats just old age)

 

[PLTuck]

He didnt stop scoring sublime goals either....

 

[PLTuck]

Back on topic,

I think my top 3 would be Vardy, Boufal and Obiang. Not necessarily in that order. All 3 very special goals imo.

Except Rooney’s imo. It’s mainly shit goalkeeping. Never really rate goals from their own half, proper overrated specimen.

Where the fucking fuck was Eriksens against Chavski?

Whilst it was crap goalkeeping, Rooney striking that ball the way he did is one of the most incredible bits of technique I've seen.

Nah, overrated. Get me on a football pitch against a backtracking Hart and I’ll bury it 9 times out of 10.

Then again, I do have unbelievable swaz

No worries, but what about Van Der Vaart, Bale or Modric?

I scored from the halfway line in a cup final a few years back and it was not from a ball pinged into me by their 'keeper, where hitting it included a huge margin of error, yet I'd still fancy myself to miss Rooney's chance 95% of the time.

This one?

That was a great goal, but it wasn't even my favourite goal that day, the fourth when he dribbles round VDS tickled me even more.

Such a shame about Keane, was a brilliant finisher, more naturally talented and technically gifted than Kane, and if he had any bollocks or half the mentality of Kane he'd have been absolute world class.

Agree, but what I find even less impressive is that every year the Goal of the year competition is just about people whacking the ball. It's the least meritorious candidate for honour of all goals scored. It usually involves no great technique at all, it's just putting your foot through the fucking thing, giving it large and hoping it goes on target. Any player on the pitch can score those goals. There are odd exceptions, where some nice technique is involved but mostly those thunderbastards are just more about whack and hope.

Finishes that require some mental and physical dexterity are far more worthy awards IMO.

My favourite goal of ours this season was Eriksen's against Everton, where we pinged the ball around half the team in a sweeping counter and Eriksen finished off the move. Poetry.


Boufal's was brilliant individual goal, I would easily have accepted him winning, but I just loved the purity of that Vardy goal, and anyone who's played any football knows the technical difficulty of what he did was extremely hard to get that pure, and I liked the ball from Mahrez too.

Five a side games don't really count.

Yeah, for me Vardy or Boufal were the worthy winners - even if I biasedly wanted Wanyama to win.

Eriksen’s goal was my favourite Spurs goal this season too. Arsenal and Chelsea scored similar really good team goals too.

Ah, I see what you did there

 

[fortworthspur]

cant believe it wasnt Boufal. Reminded me of Maradona's "goal of the century"

Scorer of great goals, not a great goal scorer. Always felt Keane was massively overrated. Was one of the few who was delighted when we sold him to Liverpool and one of the few cursing when we signed him back! So much talent but he didn't cut the mustard in the role he wanted to play (number 10) because he dwelt on the ball too long and so many attacks would break down with him fannying around. But he had great movement but the moment he had to think about scoring he'd fuck it up. The amount of easy chances or one on ones he used to fluff. And then out of nowhere he'd pull off a goal that Messi would be proud of. Such an enigma.
