    I can't, and we have more players who should be able to that at pretty much any time since I've started watching us.

    I remember when Titi started taking corners and FKs and he was woeful at the start but became probably the best FK taker I've ever seen from one of our players.

    Surely at least one of Saka, Ødin, Gabby 2 or 3, Leo or Kai should be able to learn how to do it like Titi did.

    Btw, Kai did well to win the header for Gabby 3 to win the pen.

    But when did we last score a direct FK?

    Ganpati bless.
    I think Direct Free kick goals are not that common in general
    there were only 17 of them I think in the whole league last year.

    Cheers. Didn't know that. But we did used to score a few each season. If their GK pulled off a great save in the top corner, I could accept that. But we're not hitting the target.

    Didn't Pépé score one?

    If we never score, they might as well foul us and take the yellows.

    PS - The Times report is a laugh as Wazza Rooney is slagging the whole thing off. When asked what he'd learnt, he said absolutely nothing.

    The seats by the dugout for his assistants were given to Apple employees. They had only 2 training sessions, one of which was open and on some strip of grass by their national momuments. And he said the refs are always shîte over there. Seemed to hate it.

    Also think it funny that they had that stupid skills game the day before and everyone moaned that Kai couldn't score a volley. Yet last night he did. Good ball from Marqy, too. Like that won on debut for Eddie's winner. I'm happy for him and RN to be given a chance this year.
