Opening Weekend's other footy

The last line is a bit excitable, but I agree with the first bit.


Well it's certainly one of the best team goals I've seen in the PL. I genuinely can't remember one as good. The only one that comes close that I can think of is Vieira's at Anfield in 2004.

Wilshire (even if he is overrated pap) scored a great team goal against Norwich last year. One touch football between 3 players

Just look at that. If we scored that the we'd be exploding with semen for months

We'd probably sing about it. Tompkins would release a book, "one touch wonders: how Rodgers touched us"
 
The Arsenal goal pisses on Chelsea's goal, the play is brilliant, the touches and the awareness of the players, great build up. Kinda similar to Enrique's goal a few season's ago but probably a touch better.

 
And yeah, it was Burnley, let's not get carried away over Chelsea or Costa. Or are they guaranteed the title now while we're "definitely" not going to make top four? :rolleyes:

Costa is so going to play 50 games this season without a break, and if he does need a minute's breather, his backup is a top notch in his fucking prime golden boy striker who has scored 20 league goals in 110 games for the club, or a 76-year-old Drogba who was reported widely to have died last week after an injury but somehow has come back to play as a sub, ahead of said golden boy.
 
I don't think I could agree with that. The technique for Fabregas's pass was simply world class.

Actually the whole goal was brilliant. One of the best I've ever seen in the PL.

Yeah I agree with your second line it was a brilliant goal. I still think Hendo's pass was better. Having beaten off two or three tackles he managed to hit an inch perfect and longer pass with his wrong foot.

I agree. Phenomenal team goal. I'm sure there will be overhead kicks and 30yard screamers that snatch the limelight and the Sky highlights reels this season, but it will take something truly exceptional to beat that goal from last night.
 
I think Wilshere's goal is amazing but for me it has a slightly freakish quality that just puts me off it slightly. Not exactly luck but the kind of touches you could never repeat. That's probably just a personal thing rather than a valid criticism. With the Schurrle one there were 4 great bits of play strung together in perfect sequence, but it felt ruthless and efficient rather than slightly clownish like Wilshere's.

Just my two cents.
 
I remember us scoring a decent goal in preseason, maybe it was against Bayern Munich. Several one touch passes, I think Heskey got the goal.
 
Great assist by Fabregas. Even better watching my Arsenal supporting friends reaction.

This is the closest I can come to describing it.

Not really the same thing but... Com'on Besiktas!

FC Copenhagen leading 2 - 1 at home against Leverkusen, with all 3 goals coming in the first 15 minutes.
 
Chelsea's goal vs Burnley is not even on the same page as this. Schurrle's was basically just finishing a lovely pass through the defence after build-up play (something we did many times last season), this effort though is simply incredible skills shown by 2-3 players.

It isn't even in the same book, that Arsenal goal is pure perfection.

Fabregas's pass was all about the vision, it wasn't exactly a hard pass to execute, Bergkamp and Zola used to do that stuff every week, the Arsenal goal you don't see often at all.
 

It really wasn't, it was a short first time pass where he was static and he had plenty of room for error between the 2 defenders, it was all about him being able to see that pass, that's what is so good about it.

Compare it to Hendo's pass where he was on the run and curls it 35/40 yards using his weaker foot with hardly any room for error between the 2 center backs exactly on the money for Sterling to put away.

Only one winner for me, a clear one at that.

It was on the half volley, though. That's an unbelievably difficult skill, to control a ball with that delicacy, between defenders, finding a runner, with a perfect weight and with no room for error.

Henderson's pass was brilliant too, of course, but very different, so it's tough to compare. But you're talking bollocks about the Fabregas one.
 
Besiktas should be infront here. In the situation we're in I wouldnt have minded Ba as a back up striker.
 
Higuain with a good finish, Napoli 1 - 1 Bilbao now. And Callejon just blew a good chance to put Napoli ahead.

I think we struggled with those qualifiers virtually every time under Rafa, it was torture. I think Toulouse was the exception.
