Auba's flick to ESR for the 2nd. Am I wrong to think it's amazing?

[Luis Anaconda]

I never played footie and don't really watch it other than us. I know that.

But that flick round the corner with his back to goal, perfectly weighted, seemed great to me.

But none of the highlights even talk about. MotD talk about Auba's celebration, not his flick.

Am I wrong? That an average Div 2 player should be expected to do that 9 times out of 10?

Or was it a really Wengaball flick like that Ozil outstep volley for Ollie? Sort of ting DB10 would have done?

In short, am I wrong to be really turned on by it?

Don't get me wrong. ESR, Saka and MO contributed even more on the day. Love them all.

But that flick to play ESR through as the first half of the 1-2 that led to the goal. That's what I like.

Love MO-ESR-BS for the first. Love ESR's ball to put BS away for the 3rd.

Even love GX's turn on the edge of our box to change 1-1 into 2-0. Apologies, Granit. That was tops.

But oh, that flick.

Maybe I'm wrong and should just stick to babyfoot and ket.

But that flick. That flick.

Flicks and eye of the needle passes are what I like. Apologies for being pîssed.

Twas a thing of beauty, worthy of Dennis (no higher praise thant that). Shame his touch wasn't quite so good after Partey's pass - because that too was wonderful

Oh, I agree. If he'd controlled that properly and scored, his - and the team's - confidence would be even higher. Hope he gets back to that level, and soon.

But I did think I was going mad when MotD spent ages analysing Auba's celebration but didn't even mention that flick. It was perfect.
