Who has the hardest shot at City?

[Marvin]

I get the feeling Ederson could hit it hard but we're guessing aren't we.

One of these days when we're winning and we get a free-kick in the last minute. Ederson is going to take it. We should really do that.

 

[CatMan]

Well since David Silva left there are a few contenders to take his crown for sure ;-)

 

[Marvin]

I was behind the goal at Blackburn when Tarnat hit one. Also the Elano freekick. But I am still going for the Foden goal as the fastest strike

 

[Centurions]

Walker imo. He fizzes the ball. Unstoppable sometimes.

Last nights by foden was good though. We were sat right behind it and the ball moved so much and so fast it confused the goal keepers hands.

I was thinking Walker as well as being well up there, especially as accuracy doesn't appear to be a requisite :)

 

[Chi-town blues]

petrov , kolarocket

 

[Stoned Rose]

It has to be Foden. Maybe the keeper should have saved that shot but that was a missile. It was like a shot out of the comic books where if the keeper had taken it he'd have been carried into the net.

Hard to believe that a player who is so small should be able to deliver such power.

I remember when TV used to record how fast a ball had travelled by measuring distance / time. Peter Lorimer used to be regarded as having the hardest shot in English football. I don't remember any City players being notorious for their shooting. Alan Shearer and Roberto Carlos are players I remember who hit the ball really hard. Beckham bent it. I'd have liked to have been behind the goal when Foden hit that.

That shot was no big shakes.

Any half decent keeper saves that in his sleep.

 

[Bob Hope]

Back in the distant past I think Franny Lee could hit a ball like a rocket.

 

[Josh_D]

In no order, Kev’s left peg, Ederson, Foden, Walker

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Vinny's was still on the rise as it went against Leicester.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I seem to remember Yaya having an absolute rocket of a shot with zero back-lift.

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

I seem to remember Yaya having an absolute rocket of a shot with zero back-lift.

Yaya is possibly the truest striker of a football I've ever witnessed

 

[Metalartin]

KDB of the current squad IMO.

 

[PALESTINIAN HEARTED MANC]

Kolarov

 

[Big Swifty]

That penalty of Mahrez recently was blasted in

 

[Phil1]

It’s hard to gauge as most of our long distance shots end up hitting some poor **** about 30 rows up.. :-)

 

[AlexWilliamsGloves]

Kolarov for sure....i miss those shots, even for the sheer craic of wondering where it might end up :-)

 

[Denis Law's Backheel]

It has to be Foden. Maybe the keeper should have saved that shot but that was a missile. It was like a shot out of the comic books where if the keeper had taken it he'd have been carried into the net.

You don't remember Francis Lee then?!!!

 

[Marvin]

You don't remember Francis Lee then?!!!

No. I remember him from the takeover but I just missed his playing days. Started going in about 1975 as a very young boy with my Dad but didnt start regularly until the early 80s. Foden strikes a ball really well but I don't know how he does it. It's obviously not a matter of just whacking it though that must help! Golfers will probably have theories.

 

[kun]

Stuart Pearce, Michael Tarnat, Carlos Tevez, Kevin Horlock and Martin Petrov all loved to leather it. Sané hit it pretty hard as well.

Of the current squad it's between Kev, Walker, Ederson and maybe Phil.

 

[citymad]

Ok I’ll do it… I heard kolarov mixed this pickle back a few times.
