I wish I could remember the quote, but Strachan once said something similar when Marian had been sent off once. Picked up a yellow for chewing the wrong gum or something, then sent off for 'simulation'. Strachan questioned how a player who simply came on and ran around a lot could possible merit a red card. My favourite memory is the 3-3 draw at Old Trafford. The nutmeg for the first goal, but also the way he muscled the United defender (Silvestre?) off the ball to set up Matt's equaliser.
Let me see... 1] He's Matthew Le Tissier 2] He's the most skilful player on the pitch by a mile 3] He's a genius. Hmm, can't pick from any of those. The most realistic option is number 2, I guess.
Really? He just side footed it in? Great finish to control it etc but wasn't a particularly crazy finish
Think of all those players who miss those one touch finishes from that distance. It looked easy because he made it look easy. Not because it was.
I don't believe I said it was easy? Just that the angle wasn't particularly mental as it was essentially him controlling the speed of the ball from Pahars into the net.
Yep, especially that lovely 2nd goal. If my memory serves me, Le Tiss only realised he'd scored when we cheered.
Goalkeepers getting a right old workout in training. Fraser looking really good. I think his confidence might be returning:
Not defending Chaz and his recent behaviour but his overall scoring ratio for Saints is about the same as Graziano's was.
