Robbie Keane and Showboating!

Ok I have just seen the miss and it was a shocker, he should have just swung at it with his right foot, 99% chance it would have gone in.

He is'nt really a player who tries that sort of thing, would expect to see that sort of attempt from Babel but not Keane.

I think Keane is just trying too hard to impress and without doubt if he pulled it off and cored then his confidance would have been sky high and we would'nt be having this discussion. But it's in the past now and nothing can be done about it so he just has to prevent it from playing on his mind and do what he is best at and that is hitting the back of the net. We also have to keep giving him our full support because he will come good but if the fans start getting on his back then it will take him longer.

Good post.

Probably something to do with the pitch looking a little uneven.

Should jib the celebration off altogether, he only end up doing his back in, not getting any younger!

Good point. Might just end up injury-prone if he keeps that wheel stuff up.

Im probably on my own here but did it not look like Robbie went for it first time with his left foot and when he didnt connect he tried to flick it in with his right. We all know what type of player Robbie is. Maybe the wind did take the ball away from him at the last second. I think he is being made a scapegoat here. The reason we only drew the game was because Rafa kept Yossi on the field when he was having a brutal game. I lost count the amount of times he gave the ball away. Kuyt should have started no doubt about it. With the changes Rafa made in the second half it seemed like he was content with a draw.

Yossi scored the goal that should've won us the game!!

So we didn't win so what it wasn't just Keane who missed and yet he's the one getting all the stick,get over it guys as all stickers have their moments of madness...

he should have slotted it, BUT it was very very windy, and them new balls are substantially lighter, did it get slightly behind him so he had to change his shot at the last second, dont know i would have to  see it again, i have been against keans transfer from day one, but hopefully his mistakes will make him a better player

^^^^

I would have thought it will jut make him a better player because he would have realised he cant pull that bit of skill off so therefore he wont be trying it Although if he does try it again and it goes in then you wont hear me complaining

He'd have some fair sized cojones to try that again i tell ya!

Ok sohe had a chance. He missed it. Had he scored it would we have started this thread? Let's give him the benefit of the doubt and say he is trying a bit too hard for us and is making stupid judgements!!!

Of course not. If he had scored the thread would have been Robbie Keane - our new Brazilian.

But its a thin line between success and failure.

Missed a good chance last night, i'm pretty sure it was him who missed the touch. If not, apologies Robbie.

The now infamous chance he missed in Madrid, for me wouldn't of been missed if he hadn't already scored. I think he felt that he'd already got one therefore he'd get away with trying to make this one look a bit extra special.

But it's gone, we've moved on now and Robbie (hopefully) won't try to be too clever next time.

Going to have to check that now.
