Poll: Best goal vs Spurs

[Slim]

Can't believe the header isn't winning this poll.

You lot voting for the fourth : have you ever actually played football ?

The 4th goal was actually the best footballing goal of the lot!

Hart > Clichy > Nasri > Barry > Dzeko > Barry > Silva > Dzeko > Barry > Dzeko > GOAL!

Add to that the brilliant finish and you can see why people have voted for it.

No way Clichy is better than Nasri...you lie.

Dzeko is better than goal though, can we agree on that?

[ant london]

We have a shedload of left footed players currently don't we....Lescott, Clichy, Kolarov, Barry, Johnson, Silva, Balotelli.....

there are probably more

I don't know what Edin is, he genuinely seems two footed, as does Aguero and Balotelli has two very good feet IMO

Since when has Balotelli been left footed? Did you throw that in wondering who would challenge it first :)

In all my visits to Carrington I cannot remember one shot which Mario has hit with his left foot and I am struggling to remember anything he has done in games with his left foot.He might be able to kick with it but no way is he left footed nor even properly two footed.

It was a slight test to flush you out BUT the reason I did put it that he IS left handed. So it's a bit off that he favours his right foot....I know a few people who are "sinister" but who play golf right handed (mainly as they'd had to learn with right handed clubs) but didn't expect it of a footballer

Dzeko is worth at least 4x goal.

The reason you put him as left footed is because he is left handed!!! You are definitely cracking up Ant ,the heat has got to you.

Name: Edin Džeko
Date of Birth: 17th March 1986
Nationality: Bosnian
Club: Wolfsburg (Germany)
Position: Striker
Height: 6ft3
Stronger foot: Left
Estimated Transfer Value: £18 million

http://talentspotter.fourfourtwo.com/bl ... dzeko.aspx

Fair enough, seems strange he takes peno's with his right(who does that?) and scores most his goals with his right...

[Ted Hughes]

Dzeko chooses his right foot when he has the opportunity, so whatever some website says, he's right footed, which makes the 4th goal fucking fantastic. Before anyone argues: somewhere he took a pen & it's on video. Find it: right foot.

The header though is a throwback to the old days when players actually had skill heading the ball rather than just nutting it like Kenwyne Jones. It reminded me of Denis Law.

Like I said, left footed but a genuine two footed striker. All the strikers we have I think are in the same boat, at this level we are just going to have to get used to this degree of competence.

You don't take pens with your other foot. The talent spotter is talking through his arse.

Agree, why on earth would a left footed player take pens with his right. The majority of his goals over the years have been with his right.

He's as near as you could get to a two footed player but he's most certainly right footed.

Fair enough, point made.

But does being bald make him a defensive midfielder? And don't fucking tell me he isn't bald now as well.

Well Rooney was dropping deeper & deeper before his hair transplant.

[ant london]

On the subject of Edin's second goal I thought it was pretty bloody impressive technique.....and as he landed from that awkward jump turn and header he still looked totally balanced, watching the ball and cushioning his landing.

He looked top top class last night. I think it was Ted that said after the last game (or maybe the one before that) that Dzeko needed to perform at that level consistently. Well, he failed to do so....as he upped it another notch.

As others have said, if he keeps getting into those positions (and I can't really recall who our last striker was who got into said positions....probably Goater) he is going to pick up 10 goals plus of tap ins. Those really could form the part of the 15 or so extra goals that Mancini said we needed. Add to that the fact that Silva and Nasri look already likely to weigh in with goals then things look very exciting indeed

[Mike J]

the header. so fucking hard to do that.

[BlueinBosnia]

2nd.

Probably the best headed goal I've seen in the Prem.

[Trautmann]

For me, only that header was more difficult than Aguero's goal.

[avoidconfusion]

Close tie between the 2nd and 4th for me

1:40 in. I think he bagged one with his left at WBA last year too, though I can't be certain.

He does have a pretty sweet left foot, but he is definitely right-footed.
