Kanji Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Ah man, Robert's left foot was equal parts rocket launcher and equal parts pure finesse! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Lua Lua was good like on his day. Wasn’t a fan of Ambrose. Probably unfairly blame him for us selling Solano to Villa like. I always got the feeling he was better than he got credit for. Seemed at the time players like him and Milner got more flak because the team were failing due the lack of mobility up front. Could never really tell if the players themselves were that bad, or we just had a manager who had no idea how to assemble a football team. Not that different to now really.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Ah man, Robert's left foot was equal parts rocket launcher and equal parts pure finesse! Not sure Bernard would agree with that, 100% rocket launcher from his experience Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Talking about the SBR days Loved his FK vs Derby, had no right to score. Kick started a great comeback. Aye that’s my favourite free-kick of his too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Robert, Riise, Hitzelsperger, Kolarov off the top of my head. Baines too but not as much of a rocket as those Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Whilst those free kicks were good, they pale into insignificance against his volleys vs Spurs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Yep forgot about Bale. Gamst Pederson loved a screamer, think he was left corner footed and that left back for Wigan that scored from half way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Can't believe no ones said David Silva yet. Easily up there with Robert for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Yes, also Bernando Silva has lovely left peg as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_69 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Can't believe no ones said David Silva yet. Easily up there with Robert for me. He's not even in the same ballpark! Robert regularly scored screamers from 35 yards plus. Silva is more technically gifted without a doubt but Robert shits on him in the left peg stakes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 David Silva has a fucking lovely left foot man, only Messi is better at left footed passes. When it comes to whacking it though, got to give it to Robert. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 No mention of Ben Arfa for best left foot? The ones that stand out in my mind are: Bale Robert Robben Van Persie Ben Arfa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 van Persie is a good shout, had a ripper left peg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Robert would be very hit and miss. He really frustrated the team on off days where he thought being anywhere over the half way line on the opposition half was a goal scoring opportunity while having 100% hit rate on the closest defenders head on corners. For consistency and precision Robben, Van Persie, Ben Arfa, David and Bernardo Silva, Ozil and Giggs were/are all better. Maybe it's because I watched him more than I've watched any of the others that my judgement is a bit harsh, but unless the criteria is who had hardest left footed shot I wouldnt have him in my top 5.

Away Day Gadgie Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I think that’s a pretty fair assessment Conjo 👍. David Silva pisses it for me. Absolute magician! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
