That is absolute bollocks. There is no skill in how you angle your hands for a professional goalkeeper.London Irish said:What I'd like to see more of from Hendo next season is deflecting shots for a corner rather than them rebounding straight out to the opposition striker, there is a skill to this in how you angle your hands and I hope him and Keeley are doing work on it. The shot yesterday was angled across his body and I was hoping that would give him the chance to push it to safety, but it was not to be.
Christ, LI, you do talk some shit, and this just confirms you talk out of your arse most of the time. No wonder you've been voted most annoying member, which is quite an achivement considering 1066 is a regular.
For the record imho Henderson will be a great keeper. Much better than Kuipers. John Keeley has a huge input to the goalkeeping situation, so I would safely say he believes Henderson is the better keeper. ..............Believe me he does.
But your comment above is total crap.
Also for the record goalkeepers turn the ball around the post when there is no way of holding it or when they are at full stretch and its the only option. If they had time to think about the 'angles of their fingers', they'd catch the bloody thing. There is absolutely no skill to learn in angles of fingers for a professional goalkeeper!!! If they deflect in the path of an opponent, its just bad luck. If they parry it in front of them, it's because they saw it late, misjudged it or its a reflex save and thats all they can do. Or simply cocked up!
I don't believe for one minute, if Henderson needed training to 'learn' how to turn the ball around the post, he'd be a Sunday League goalkeeper, let alone a full international. You cannot teach Goalkeepers about 'angles of fingers' past the age of 9 or 10.
Now go away and talk about something you know about! Actually don't because you'll be talking shit again. .
