Bentley's 'goal of the season'

[Woodsyla]

Anyone else think it was mostly s*** keeping. Almunia seemed to misjudge the flight and dive under it. For me it was not as good as 'spit' Beckham's or Xabi's where the keeper didn't fall over.

[Guest DanTheDaggerman]

Think it is definitely goal of the season so far. Agree that it is not as good as those two mentioned, but certainly better than Geovanni's.

I think the keepr made a right mes sof it to be honest. Lampard's was a better finish

[muleskinner]

It was a fantastic piece of skill, if any of our players had done it people would be salivating and rightly so.

I think Richardson's free kick was better than both. A f***ing howitzer that was past Given (a keeper with great reflexes) before he could move (I think he waved at it). I just think Bentley's was a speculative effort made into a 'wonder' goal by s*** keeping.

 

I preferred Ronaldo's goal because of Berbatov's skill on the byeline, that was incredible. Even in slow motion his feet move quickly !!!!!

Sh*t goalkeeping, but that's not Bentley's fault

i think bentley's was arguably saveable but geovanni's just wasn't.

but i agree with this.

Matt Taylor's free kick against West Ham was better than Richardson's.

Missed that one, he does have previous.

[Dublinred4ever]

Zakis scissor kick goal against us has to be up there ...

 

Heard Bentleys goal described as being from 50 yards on the radio this morning!

[Sion]

What made Bentleys better was that he controlled hit and hit in on the full volley

Almunia really should a) have been awake b) positioned a lot better and c) had a stronger hand to it

though

[Tones]

It was great skill and a great strike. Definately think the keeper could have done better. Are England really that desperate for keepers that they are considering Almunia??

[Swipe]

The keeper should never have been beat from the distance with the ball looping over his head. Terrible positioning.

 

But saying that, it was a fantastic goal. The one touch then volley movement was sublime.

 

When it was shown from camera behind the goal it looked even better. He bent it and all.

 

Agree about Almunia.

 

Ourselves and Chelsea defo have the edge on the other two 'big four' teams in terms of keepers.

[johngibo YPC]

Thought Lampards goal was exceptional

[whitewidow]

Xabi's against Chelsea.... look no further for Goal of the Season

[Alonso]

Thought Lampards goal was exceptional

Na, was a cross!!

It wasn't terrible positioning... but it was a very poor effort... went with the outside hand.. misjudged it. he could have easily put his left hand up and make a routine save.....

[Montse]

Na, was a cross!!

 

I honestly thought it was a cross!

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Zaki's

[Cobs]

technically it was a brilliant goal but he doesn't play for Liverpool therefore it was schite

[carrafan]

We've had some fantastic individual goals this season and are still only a quarter way into it.

 

 

 

 

On another note, no wonder goalkeepers prefer to punch it than risk catching it and fumbling; the balls do so much these days.

It was a good effort but awful goalkeeping, he should have saved that.

by growing a foot taller?

[Senrab_nhoj]

by growing a foot taller?

 

By putting his hand nearest the ball behind its trajectory.... should have made it easily, nothing to do with his height...
