Also, you could open this thread honestly wondering, do they mean his goal against Man City or his goal against Chelsea…

That was my first thought. I assumed nominations had been made before Wednesday night’s game. Really pleased for him.

They are both top level ex-pros so they understand the highly technical aspect of how Julio struck the ball. It’s utterly world class.

Ignoring the pace and accuracy, Julio makes the ball appear piloted. He does not side foot the ball but neither does he strike through his laces at it. He kind of scythes the ball, in between the side foot and top of the foot.

The result is that the ball does not spin with pace but he still achieves just a tiny bit of fade at the last moment for it to slide into the very top corner.

The other interesting thing is the trajectory in terms of altitude. It does not dip amazingly (see Izquierdo’s wonder strike against West Ham), but rather once it had reached the correct altitude, it just levelled off. I have no idea how he has made a ball fly through the air like that but connoisseurs like Shearer and Lineker will recognise that sort of extraordinary skill straight away.


But I reckon that's just what Shearer /Lineker had in their minds though - they will have seen the whole minute+ long move as well.

So simplified for non technical people he kicks the ball in the net (y)

Mark E should watch the whole clip, because the build up was precise too.

Brilliant, well done King Julio 👏🏼 V excited to see him play next season after a full RDZ pre-season. Suspect his decision making will have improved and his goals and assists will both be double digits.

Well done to Shearer for choosing Enciso out of the public voted final 3, and to Lineker for having the final deciding vote on it.

Another victory for the Albion. It's been a good season, hasn't it?
Typical anti-Brighton BBC bias strikes aga...


Oh :oops:
