Our long-throw specialist ?

Post Cambrilshammer »

I can't help thinking we should be jumping on the long-throw bandwagon. Is Diouf the best we can find? Could Nuno not organize a contest to see if there's anyone capable of a half-decent long throw?

That’s so weird because yesterday whilst watching the Brentford/City match I googled “ why does Foden wear a bandage on his wrist “. Apparently he broke it a couple of years ago so wears it as a support. Now you know 😀
It's all that fisting he does, more like.

This can increase speed, explosive acceleration or stamina and can even improve your strength in holding an opponent off.

It's a marginal gain and not poofy at all.
That is genuinely fascinating!

What with the amount of strapped up wrists I’d be pretty sure there can’t be many capable of a throw in, let alone a long one, what’s that all about anyway?
Footballers today really are massive poofy cunts.

Probably Wan Bissaka but you don't want him running over to the left to take them. Just teach Summerville to do what Coufal used to do, throw it into space behind the defence, let Diouf charge onto it and whip a first time cross in.

I bet JWP would win it 😀
We should do what they do in American football and allow a set piece expert into the field to take free kicks, penalties, corners and throw ons.
