Kyles free kick

"I don’t practice free-kicks, but I just felt it was right" - Walker

Well, if I was Harry, I'd have the lad come in an hour early two days a week to do nothing but practice them, now!

He clearly doesn't need the practice!

Incredible goal, one that I can't quite work out. I played a lot of football when i was younger, but i have just never grasped how Beckham, Carlos and now KW, manage to get that much swerve on a ball. its incredible.


the highlight for me is David Dunn. he defines "FFS". - says it all really!

for a start off its called dedication..it can be done with practice...as i have got older...since football was not my income but pleasure....evolution helped me taste a few good moments with the ball....watch the free kick again...in slow motion..but dont watch the ball..watch Kyle Walker..look at the sheer effort when he strikes it...look at the way he angles his body for the curve and lift....loook at his left foot slide about a yard forward due to the sheer power of the strike...practice this and you can get there or thereabouts also i think......when all the good players who produced moments of magic in the past were asked how...somwhere in their reply was always the word 'practice'.


Kyle Walker says he doesnt practice them..thats why he wont be as prolific as Beckham who practiced them every single day.

This is another reason, for me, why Harry is not the answer for us, going forward. How is it that he didn't know that Walker had this in him? Players don't suddenly discover that they have the ability to strike a ball like that; it takes hours of ceaseless practice, not to mention an abundance of confidence to kick a ball off target by such a degree, knowing that it will bend in. This is especially so, given how dismal we've been at set-pieces. Harry should have been on the training ground trying to get to the bottom of what has been going wrong, and he should have worked out for himself that VdV (who must have a clause in his contract allowing him to hog the ball in free-kick situations) simply isn't up to the task; and he should have gone through our entire squad, especially our youngsters who he would not have previously tested (ie. due to his non-existent youth encouragement policy), to find out if any of our players had the ability to do what Walker did on Sunday.

Yet another shining example of Harry's cluelessness and/or his indifference.

yet he is supposed to be a good man manager? isnt that his strength? one on one conversation?? what the **** do they do in training??
even i can tell you whos good at what in my Sunday team..or who has what potential...and we encourage to mix it up..you know let the left back have a crack etc.
