Should we have an outfield player take the Goal Kicks?

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Awful idea, but very unfair on Stek who, for his flaws, is one of the best we've had in this area IMO

Really?

I like Stekky but I'd hardly call his kicking top-notch, though it is better than Robles

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Obscene idea for a number of reasons mikey, come on mate.

Don't get angry at me mate

It's not my fault Robles can't kick for pudding

One of the things I picked up on about him early on

His kicking is far more accurate than many we've had in recent years - in fact Martyn is really the only one who was significantly better than him that I can remember - even Big Nev's only real weak element was his kicking

Don't let James McCarthy take them. He doesn't know how to pass forward.

Shockingly, I always thought Mucha was quite a good kicker

Is robles really that bad ??... can't say I've really noticed

This.

Also, our biggest problem is throw-ins. Coleman should not be allowed near one ever again.

Throw-ins are the most neglected part of the game and they happen the most in any game.
Take Arsenal last night, terrible mistake.

That's fair enough mate

I was just interested in everyone's opinion on the matter, because personally I think his kicking is very poor (Watch him get an assist tonight now)

I wouldn't even say Stekky was that good either

It's been an issue for us for over a decade now IMO

YESS!!! Sly dig at Howard. I'm on board now mate.

Get Morgs taking them. Just to increase his pass completion rate even more.

I wouldn't say it's woeful in comparison to some others, but it isn't great.

Even still, having one defender 40 yards deeper than everyone else/having to drop your line really deep when the goal kick is taken would cause a lot more problems than some dodgy kicking. Plus I'd imagine outfield players aren't actually any better at goal kicks. And they'd be more likely to get injured.

There's good reason it never happens.

You can't just have someone other than your full back take a throw in unless it's miles forward. The whole shape of the team would be a mess.

No - we are not playing in the Business Houses league

Anyway Robles has a couple of assists

 

[Logans run]

We haven't had a decent kicking keeper since Lord Nigel of Martyn, with Robles in particular being one of the very worst in recent history, so should we just let an outfield player take the goal kicks instead?

Actually, Joel's kicking is good, he already has an assist this season, he hits his target area around Lukaku is hit more than missed.
Besides that, it is a terrible tactic.

You're better than this @Mikey_Fitzgerald

 

[Nymzee]

Yeh let a defender take the goal kicks and play all the opposition forwards onside
