Having players like Fig and Oscar will give Greaves more chance of scoring (as the oppo defenders will have their hands full for a change).
Greaves already gets in the right position - he just can't head the ball - unless he starts getting that sorted out he will continue to fail in front of goal
I was actually on holiday in Turkey when that game was played and managed to watch it online in the kid’s lounge of the hotel. I think everyone thought I was nuts as the goals went in!
I had a bet on with a mate who supports Arsenal that we'd win that game. For a fiver... Wish I'd put it on at the bookies instead.
I thought mcloughlin looked more like scoring in the 2nd half of the season and he drew a blank. As far as scoring from a set piece goes i thought greaves looked further away the more the season went on.
Looked more like scoring with his overlapping runs from centre back. Nearly scored at Brum overlapping if im not mistaken
Last season we hardly ever managed to get a clear header at goal from a set piece. The quality of heading didn't even come into it because we just barely won any. Almost every corner was either won by the defenders or if we did get a contact on it it was only ever a little glance from someone under pressure. We maybe need to be stronger at blocking defenders off and creating space for someone to have a proper header.
I think he will benefit from improved coaching, i love to see defenders charging upfield, richard jobson style
The Dawson one I remember most was for spurs late on in 08/09 season I think. Felt we deserved something until he popped up.
