Lindau Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) Couldnt believe it when Butch Wilkins said something like "oh yes he is weak on his left side" Jeez a 10 year old would have put that one in and he wouldnt have cost £50,000,000!!

ian_mac Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Has to be the worst miss I have ever seen. If he had missed that at 3-2 it would have been unforgivable. He should have buried the one that went over the bar as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix1876 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 wouldnt say it was the worst miss of all time, but you could give a striker the benefit of the doubt if for example he was a regular goal scorer for the club, however i think hes scored only 2 or 3 goals for his club & costing £50 mill then theres no excuse for him not to bury that especially with the fact hes had chance after chance. even berbatovs miss rooney played the ball too far n fast. sturridge's miss in the first half he should have burried too however fine save from de gea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinny Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Watching Torres there, it's clear he didn't actually know where the goal was and assumed it was in front of him. When you see it in slow mo from the side you can see that he is only looking at the ball, and only looks up to see where the goal is AFTER he hit it. Good strikers can hit the ball well without having to look at where the goal it as it becomes instinct, Torres has been shit for so long he's lost that and not even realised.

Mr Bunny Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 there's videos on youtube that show top 10s of misses and they are a lot worse. think theres one of a dutch boy missing from practically under the bar I'm sure we've had players who've done that. Admittedly they didn't cost us millions to sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjptfc Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Everything`s secong to Iwelumo`s. There are no other contenders Agreed, what a clown. Nonsense. A ball coming across your body is 'harder' to take than a ball rolling in front of you (especially after your own touch). NB - I know both chances are easy but I'm just explaining why one is slightly harder than the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erzamacaroonbars Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I agree, Iwulemo's attempt takes some beating but close contenders include Roy Aitken (Scotland vs Uraguay, can't remember which World Cup) or Billy Bremner (Scotland vs Brazil, 1974 World Cup).

lady-isobel-barnett Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I agree, Iwulemo's attempt takes some beating but close contenders include Roy Aitken (Scotland vs Uraguay, can't remember which World Cup) or Billy Bremner (Scotland vs Brazil, 1974 World Cup). I think it was Stevie Nichol that had the miss against Uruguay. Bremner's miss was imo the type you'll see often enough at our level. Bremner scoring would undoubtedly have been crucial but it wasn't the type of miss that held him to ridicule for the rest of his career.

hebridean jag Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Torres miss was definitely worse than Iwelumo's. look at the two of them again and then retract. Iwelumo managed to find the only bit of the stadium that would`nt result in a goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 look at the two of them again and then retract. Iwelumo managed to find the only bit of the stadium that would`nt result in a goal. The ball came at Iwelumo with a bit of pace, he had a lot less time to react than Torres did. Factor in their respective transfer values as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjptfc Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 The Torres miss was worse than Iwelumo's. Straightforward. Direction of the ball, pace of the ball, the lot. The fact Torres had the previous touch instead of receiving a pass makes it a non-argument, as much as I feel sorry for any player who has a nightmare like that, Torres' miss was worse.
