That goal against Spurs then that goal yesterday... wow.. just wow...

Defenders are falling over themselves trying to stop him... like Maradona in his hey day...

We really have a special player on our hands and he is not even in his prime yet.. a very special player indeed...

It will pain you to realise his talent was just about good enough to drag a mediocre team to the world cup, and that Maradona would laugh at such things.
 
Why are they always left footed?

[article]
[bcolor=transparent]In one experiment, nearly 1,000 men and women had to think of ways to combine two commonplace objects not typically used together, like a pole and a tin can. In another, participants had to organize a series of words into as many different categories as possible.[/bcolor]
[bcolor=transparent]Results showed that left-handed men performed better on these measures of divergent thinking than right-handed men — although there was no such difference for women.[/bcolor]
[bcolor=transparent]Coren was able to effectively rule out the possibility that lefties are simply smarter overall by administering a test of convergent thinking, which involves applying existing knowledge and rules to come up with a correct answer. Participants had to indicate which word in a series didn't fit the pattern — and righties performed slightly better.[/bcolor]
[bcolor=transparent]In the paper, Coren notes that his results might help explain why lefties are more common among mathematicians, architects, artists, and chess experts.[/bcolor]

Left footed players apply divergent thinking to exploit the types of space that other stupid players don't see or expect. It will not surprise you to learn that I'm left footed.
 
Amazing as Salah is he's nowhere hear Maradona and it'll take years to be in the same ball park
 
There's that boxing idea that because most fighters are right handed they mostly fight against other right handers and can become accustomed to dealing with that stance / style. So coming up against a southpaw can cause a lot trouble.

Wonder if that applies to football in any way? Lefties afaik are over represented in a few sports.
 
Watching over the weekend the player that Salah reminded me of most was Romario. Romario had this brilliant way of waiting until the last second minute so that a defender/keeper had to make a decision, and thats when he had them right where he wanted them.

Doing nothing is remarkably difficult when opponents are surrounding you or charging towards you, it takes an unnatural level of calm. If you can wait for your opponent to make the first move you have something to exploit, a mistake,a gap, an over commitment. It only works if the opponents are so terrified they feel that they must do something to prevent the inevitable. Salah instilled that level of feat in Watford. Look at the 3rd goal he scored at the weekend, thats what terrified defenders do.
 
So was Djimi Traore. He tried to defy the laws of gravity too, how ironic.

Had he been right footed then we'd have lost the final, Gerrard would have left, Torres would never have joined, and Roy would be our manager to this day. Indeed, we'd now be feeling totally desperate for Ings to get fit as he's exactly the type of character you want in a relegation dogfight. Worst of all, this site would never have existed.
