Easy 10
Brain dead MUG SHEEP
Danny Welbeck's free kick strike was the FOURTH direct free kick we have scored in the PL. That's 7+ years, 271 games, 0.014 free kick goals per game.
Fair play to Welbz, he went close against Ipswich with one as well last week, so hopefully this could be a useful new string to his bow in the autumn of his career (it was his first ever). But as for BHA - jees. One of the finest training complexes in the country, and we can't even practice our way to so much as a goal a season when there's a wall lined up. Gross, Dunk (yes) and MacAllister are the only others to have found the net from a free kick in the last 7+ seasons.
It would appear not many of our squad are hanging back to practice this particular art. I have no idea why I get excited when we get a free kick in a "threatening" position, but I am now officially parking any anticipation I may have had, and will likely slope off to get a pie until the whole faff has burnt its way out into the usual goal kick.
