[Albion] Murray's goal [v Southampton]

[Stato]

Great finish from Murray and nice response to the Southampton fans who were calling him a 'S**t Rickie Lambert' in the first half. Isn't that just Rickie Lambert?

As soon as Gross got it with time and space I knew he'd find Murray... and the finish was as good as the cross.

I think Gross is probably the best crosser of the ball we've had since Darren Currie.

Half a sentence too long.

We sit in WSL level with the 6 yard box. It was like watching in slow motion...

‘Oooh, Gross is looking at Murray’
‘He’s going to aim for Murray’
‘Yep, here it comes’
‘Right back is all over the place, Murray’s got this’
‘Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh’

At the time thought the best he could have done was try and put it back across into a dangerous area.

I think that's what was on Forster's mind, and explains what he reacted so late.

I liked that the club Twitter feed described him as "powering it in". Which is almost North Korean levels of truth-bending for how it appeared. Placed, yes. Deft, true. "Powered"? Not for me.

Murray did everything he could do without the opportunity to get any power on the ball by directing it nicely into the corner. However, for me it was a bad goalkeeping error. Forster really should have kept it out quite comfortably.

One of the best headed goals you could see, had the experience to get to the far post and isolate the full back and an inch perfect header.
Brilliant finish.

The cross to Murray a few minutes later was even better great turn and cross almost the same as for March's goal v Plucky
