Well, there you are. You remember wrongly. The ball was on the ground and not bouncing. I just watched it back. The ball came back off the post, Mane was standing roughly in line with the penalty spot. It was good positioning, and he reacted well to the ball. You can see he was trying to side-foot place it into the bottom corner, but because he's leaning back his foot is under the ball and goes up much higher than is ideal. It clipped in off the bar, which I can't imagine for a second was his intention. I'm not complaining about the goal, just observing that at the time I was a little dubious about him. Not only because of this though, I also thought he went down too easily and holds on to the ball too long. I'm not alone in that assessment I know. I'm not talking about the goal. In fact, the goal is incidental to this conversation. I'm talking about his technique. As many have commented in recent weeks, he gets under the ball too much and doesn't have great control. That was evident even when he scored. It was great that he scored, but people who blindly claimed the coming of the second messiah after it went (and lots of you did) in were as blind as you seem to think I am. I'm not writing Mane off, but I don't think his goal was a stroke of genius. He miss hit, but fortunately miss hit towards the goal. (Last post of the day) If you ate worried about the way he strikes a ball then you should be equally worried about Pellè who has a horrible tendancy to rush or snatch at shots, especially after a dryish spell of goals. Most of it is composure and confidence, things that can be rectified. The shot itself from manè wasnt poor at all, a few technical bits here and there but realistically when the ball comes at you that fast its all about the reaction and he managed to get it away.

If he is their best player cant we buy him and loan him to havant & waterlooville for the lols ?

-
Im deeply athiest, but if you strongly believe in something thats your choice and who the **** am I or you to tell someone else what they should believe in The scary thing here is you are a ****ing teacher !! Jesus wept Why dont you admit you made an error of judgement in your opening post rather then trying to scew the arguement to suit your prejudiced agenda
-
No its not, its there right to believe in whatever they want. You were banging on about equality a moment ago and now you are speaking out against those that choose to follow a religion. Showing your prejudice here isnt required MLG Bore off you moronic tit

But we have only beaten one of last seasons top sides, if we have genuine ambitions for top 6 then that needs to improve. -

Smirking_Saint replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Saints
That isnt it, shows our weakness against the top sides -
Just go a blow the bank for depay and Benteke
-
ALF ? Jesus wept

Great player, but Id rather we signed a striker
-
If this is going to be an all time greatest, and so tactics dont matter it will look like this Schmeichal Zabeleta Kompany Ferdinand Cole Gerrard Viera Scholes Ronaldo Drogba Bale Imo Drogba was the most complete striker we've ever seen and ronaldo is the best player in the world

Sheff Utd 1-0 Saints Post match carnage.
Smirking_Saint replied to Edmonton Saint's topic in The Saints
Makes me laugh, cant remember who it is but calling for Reed every five minutes, as if he is going to change our fortunes. Even worse some talking about gallagher. It was said how weak the overall squad was -
Im losing the ability to defend him tbh Doesnt work hard enough and woefully out of form
-
Are we forgetting about the 4-5 very good saves ? One of our better players tonight.... Not saying much that though
-
Embarrassing really Sheffield ****ing utd
-
Well, its a bit funny really isnt it ?
-
We have had nothing from the attacking quartet, no threat, no hold up play and hardly any defending from the front Terrible
