mate, please stop.Westcliff Hammer wrote:Right,
Point 1. Tomkins has seen the ball coming
Point 2 Wasn't following the flight of the ball, it wasn't driven directly to RVP it was floated
Point 3 He didn't look across he's shoulder as he spotted the ball and see where Van Persie wasPoint 4 Completely the wrong side to start withPoint 5 Van Persie had time to bring the ball down and as RVP isn't lightening quick Tomkins still could have got infront of RVP.
Vidic isn't the defender he was as the injuries have taken it's toll after all he is what? 31, 32?
A bang on form fit and firing Vidic would have dealt with that, Meat and drink to him.
he's got his head up looking a the ball to begin with so point 2 has been wiped out.
he's already running with van persie before the ball is played meaning he knows where he is. bye bye point 3
he's goal side and under 5 yards away from his man. best position you can be in as a defender in that area of the pitch.. point 4 gone
point 5 is just ludicrous, he's brought the ball down and controlled it whilst on the run, his second touch is to set up his third which is the finish. the time between the first touch and the second touch is about a quarter of a second if that.. I don't think you're grasping how good that goal was.
