There's a difference between luck and a calculated attempt. He could have gone with the safe option, try to bring the ball down and pass to the nearest person, he took a calculated risk that paid off, he didn't scuff it, he wasn't looking to cross the ball only for it to find the back of the net, He had a clear purpose on what he was going for, did it and it worked. Give the kid his dues, it wouldn't take an inch out of the 3 inches you already have :)If you don’t think an overhead kick going in was lucky then you’re mad, they come of probably one in a hundred at best.
It's lacks balance tbh but the teams we are facing are pretty average.Every single effort at a goal may not come off, doesn't mean that every screamer is lucky.
Southgate is the reason we were on the verge of going out - our squad is class.
So luck then.There's a difference between luck and a calculated attempt.

Calculated attempt. Like when Pep makes a change and that change goes on to score the winner, or like Vinnie's strike against Leicester. No luck, just a calculation that paid off. Luck is more like Ben White's cross that turned into a worldie.So luck then.
It’s called luck mate, you kid yourself all you want but an overhead kick going in is just plain old luck.Calculated attempt. Like when Pep makes a change and that change goes on to score the winner, no luck, just a calculation that paid off.
The fact that the overhead kick itself is being questioned is just farcical. If foden does it we're all loving it.There's a difference between luck and a calculated attempt.

Reminding me of David Platt Italia 90 version this tournament (forget his group stages). He walks the tightrope of arrogance and brilliance at times, was convinced he was going to be sent off at one stage last night. Seems easy to rattle, frustrated when its not going his way but the talent is there and you can't question commitment with a last minute equaliser. Only going to mature and get better for me. Arrogance comes with the talent, just needs to make sure he does not drift into entitled.
I will agree with this the way he carries on sometimes he's as likely to get sent off as he is to produce something to make a difference in a game. Hot headedness and petulance that he will need to channel in future.Was thinking the same about Platt. He did fuck all that tournament also until his brilliant winner against Belgium. Never a player to dominate games, but one who would pop up and get goals.
Also wondered about Bellingham potentially being a red card waiting to happen in the first game when he put the shoulder in on someone. If it was a different player doing it the commentators would have been slating him for it, but instead it was all a big joke.
