KDB's Pace

[worsleyweb]

I remember him,in the last WC,& if i said he played the same or even slightly better than on Saturday would be very close.
This lad will be talked about like some off the greats off the game..(Gerry Creaney)lol

One saw Gerry drink 3 pints of Guinness on a Thursday afternoon in the Salutaion pub in Hulme. 48 hours before a home game. Cant understand why he looked slow.

HaHa..use to call him Gerry gum-shield Creaney,But seeing how he sweated during training i bet it was more than 3 pints most days

I think the one thing that KDB is good at is he knows where to run to. On that first goal it's obvious that if he just goes straight (red arrow), Baba would eventually catch up to him. Notice that the direction he runs to is straight into Baba's front (blue arrow) as to cut him off, Baba had to stop for a milisecond and that's where the separation comes from.

I could watch that time and time again. Brilliant counter attacking goal and will give many managers nightmares

A smarter defender would have just taken him out, accepted the yellow card and got on with the game.

I think with there's still a defender there between them and the goal. He probably thought he would be covered.

Even so, it's a 2v2 high danger counter-attack, you can bet your house that if Mourinho was on the touch line, he'd have been shouting "TAKE HIM OUUT!" as they ran past.

Fair point. Makes us think what Hiddink must've said or not said at that time.

I think he's fast because he's an exceptionally strong runner and he doesn't really lose speed over long distances.

He reminds me of someone like Steven Gerrard when he's running with the ball.
