Silvio Dante Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 I bloody loved that. The replays didn’t do it justice, but IIRC Massengo chases their player from CM, then Palmer takes over, then I think Hunt. Semenyo is actually the last of a four man press at high intensity across the team. Thats not luck. That’s made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Gary Player famously said the harder I practice, the luckier I get. Antoine has 2 goals now because he is making those runs in games when others stop, he deserves them. Though surely he must be the only footballer to score his first 2 goals for us from blocks?

Davefevs Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Do you think Antoine got a slight touch of the ball on the initial challenge which just took an ounce off the back pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think that's right. He is so deceptive, we may have had players that are quick, but his change of pace is something different. he seems to go from fast to superfast in a couple of strides. The Swansea goal is a good example of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he got the back of his heel on it. A goals a goal as they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgy_Giefer Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 He scored a great goal against Millwall. He is fast and strong and can run with the ball. It’s only a matter of time before it all clicks into place. Until then I’m happy for him to terrify opposition keepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Pearson will fancy Semenyo as a Vardy if he can get him to keep his head in on goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiled Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Semenyo is definitely one for the future (with decent coaching!) I'm sure both his league goals have happened because keepers have underestimated his speed. He literally ghosts past players when it falls right for him. It looks effortless, almost casual. At this level, that's a hell of a weapon. Hope Pearson can build the lad's confidence to shoot or release the ball at the right time because his potential is obvious. If you think he's not going to make it for us, just look at his progress since returning from loan. A bit part player who was sent on to support Fam to now someone who plays to torment the opposition. Big change, hopefully more to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
