The Dink

[Nymzee]

I agree with you there mate.

Best midfielder we've got

Lob is a bouncing ball.

Learn something every day, thanks.

That run looked like he had more drive and there was that fearless youth about him. He’s had it knocked out of him.

 

[Frenk]

I agree with you there mate.

What happened to him?

 

[DanB90]

What happened to him?

The same thing that happened to all our young talents over the years.

The Everton Da’s broke them.

James could dink it.

James could do a few things that other don't or can't, but we thought he had to go because he could only play about twenty matches a season.

He woulda been handy in those twenty matches.

This thread has now gone full circle.
It began with the OP bemoaning Gordon's lack of ability to 'dink' lol

No it didnt...it used Gordon's one shot against BW as an example....there is no reason why any professional football player should not be able to Dink.....

So help me out, I’m with you. So what about lob and chip? Dink - short range,
Chip - intermediate, lob - long range ?

A lob is over a standing keeper, dink or chip, a la Pienaar v Arsenal is against a keeper that is prone, or on the way over/down.

As my lad said "Gordon needs to watch a few Messi clips" now there was a player who could 'dink'
