    Tyler: We will cross to Jamie now who has a bit of extra insight.

    Jamie: Well this is how De Gea will have seen it. He has moved to his left and the ball has gone to his right.


    How much does he get paid for that?

    He seems a nice enough chap, Redknapp, but I'm pretty sure that nothing that you or I might describe as a thought has ever caused a ripple on the mill-pond surface of his consciousness.
    Seriously, I've had household pets that seemed more capable of abstract thought.

    Time for some AAR real talk. It was a speculative nothing shot that was completely ****ed up by De Gea guessing before he knew where it was going. It wasn't even close to the corner, probably only about 2 yards away from the centre. With De Gea being a World class goalkeeper what we're seeing here is the equivalent of 'celebratory face' where a dog **** comedian of the John Bishop or James Corden variety in a room packed with hopeless plebs will get fits of laughter to every joke down entirely to their celebratory status.

    It's the exact same thing we're seeing now with football illiterates blinded by De Gea's greatness. Make no mistake about it, it was dog **** goal keeping. If that Was Bruce Grobbelaar he'd have been lynched by the fans.

    But Grobbelaar never faced a ball that moved in such a bizarre manner, aar.

    It’s Sorcery....black magic...voodoo...the dark arts.

    Ramsey is going so whatever forces were at work have shifted to Xhaka and were making a statement.

    From now on Every time Xhaka scores a plane will fall out of the sky.

    I recorded the match and watched the post game analysis.

    Apart from Souness giving the other pundits withering looks, the other fun part was 'how De Gea would have seen it' and the view then changed to some sort of blurry letterbox.
    And then went back to an angle above the goal.
    No wonder De Gea misjudged it so badly.

    When you hit the ball sweetly the ball doesn't have a high spin rate.
    Spin on the ball give it a predictable ball flight.

    When it doesn't spin (or has a low spin rate) the ball flight is erratic - I assume wind resistance plays a part.
    here you go...turbulence around the seams apparently...

    Thank you.

    So as opposed to trying to curl it in, if you hoof it from distance you might as well give it a toe poke and hope the random swerve becomes a sort of wobble seam delivery with the ball moving erratically.

    Balls these days are veritable beach-balls in comparison to ones from the past
    That's why you get so many 30-40 year rocket shots

    A bit different to the cannonball from Ted Drake's day
