Tooj 17 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Now before anyone starts, I'm not actually having a go here at young Michael, and this can actually be stemmed back a couple of seasons if you will. Now Owen's shot seems to have gotten progressively weaker as the years have gone by, for example this season a few times he's just tried the side footing technique that has worked him well over so many years now, but the ball just doesn't seem to have any zip onto it. But even when he was younger, he used to strike the ball quite well from around the edge of the box, for example he scored a corker against Luxembourg for England when Keegan was manager, I remember scoring a one against us at Anfield with a fair bit of power etc I'm just wondering if any thinks there's any possible reason why he doesn't seem to do this anymore? Same thing happened with Shearer after his ankle injury, when he used to take free-kicks he used to take a lot of them with the inside of his foot, but since that day at Goodison in '97, he always seemed to go for power and never appeared to attempt the ones off the inside of his foot, like when he scored his first goal for us against Wimbledon. I'm just curious is this an actual injury thing? Or is it injuries possibly causing some form of physiological knock on affect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 11080 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Interesting point, I too would like the answer to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInspiration 1 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I've noticed he doesn't have much power also and I think it's what's made him score goals from very close up now, as he doesn't seem to beat the keeper from far out much.

themags 0 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Ameobi's control is more powerful than his shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Ameobi's control is more powerful than his shot He can also trap a ball further than he can pass it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
