Well, unless you are Mahrez taking a penalty at Anfield.

Great goal that.best example of lofting it was Robinho's goal, not seen a better one since,
imo of course...
I think a lot of it is a confidence thing. You see the elite finishes just do whatever they need to do in the fashion that they usually do it. (eg Aguero smash, Vardy dink, Fernandes penalty etc..)
Problem with those types of finishes are that when you miss you look like a mug, because a lot of it is in essence hit and hope, where the hope is that you're skilled enough to make it work.
Now with social media storms and there being millions of replays, there's a greater pressure than ever on players to get it right, so anyone without that elite confidence has become really shy.
City are riddled with players who aren't confident on this front. Sterling and Jesus (and maybe Bernardo) being the very best examples of this insecurity.
Look at Kane. He has a mentally miserable summer with his move getting blocked and all of a sudden he's allergic to finding the net.
You are Raheem Sterling and I claim my £5!I'm a big fan of delaying the shot for as long as possible
I suppose you could say that an elite goalscorer knows where the net is in the same way De Bruyne always knows where the runner is for a pass. A lifetime of practice in a way.Thank you.
I was expecting g too much to discuss an very important part of the game on a football forum.
So one serious reply was a bonus.)
Confidence is important , but natural goalscorers just keep doing the right thing even when they miss a few.
Kane is now too deep and doesn't have the supply he once had.
Martinelli has just scored a classic, one on one, he just lifted it . Great finish.
Unforgivable ,cos at the time I said to my mate he likes to lift em and boy did he lift that one .Aim for the stars.
