Did Trent mean that pass to Firmino?

[JohnnyH]

I've been talking with some losers on twitter, and they have gone down the blind fan attitude of believing everything your players do is brilliant and no way could it just have been lucky.

 

Well with that amazing ball to Firmino for Hendersons goal, I believe Trent got lucky.  I believe he was just trying to get to the ball before the Southampton attacker and either belt it off him, or just welly it clear, and he got lucky.  Now it's important to say that I think Trents passing is THAT good that he could do that pass if he wanted.  But not this time.  This was just a welly that got lucky.

 

What say you TLW?

Where is the Jane Fonda option?

@JohnnyH

i think you are correct. It is not beyond his ability but he had been lumping aimless balls all day.

It's the side angle view that makes my mind up.  He's really having to reach for it.

He may have been hoping to direct it towards Bobby but it was rather fortunate for it to land at his feet. A controlled clearance into an area more like

[RedSand]

I was thinking the same thing, watching it Live and on replay and again the highlights later.

It's a clearance not a cross.

When things go your way,  take advantage.

And did we ever. 

With Ings' penalty denial and Trent's clearance. 

About time the luck fell our way.

Yeah, that's the one.  Its a clearance that we took advantage of.

A clearance into space where he could see two red jerseys.

Long ball, kick and run merchants. An expensively assembled Wimbledon.

He didn’t, but sort of would’ve. He’d have known he was roughly there and been trying to get it towards him, but there’s no way on earth he “meant it”.

[Baltar]

He meant it, that was the easiest pass of the season for Trent.

[Bjornebye]

He meant it. He actually meant to score. 

[cloggypop]

If he loses this after the Twitter fiasco, JohnnyH is going to have to phone up Robbie Savage.

Is the correct answer

I voted yes solely to make JohnnyH look wrong.

This lad is so fucking good he could easily have meant it and thought nothing of it.

What matters the most is the Hendo finished it and made us relatively comfortable.

[Moo]

I think he meant it. 

[Guest Alex_K]

He clearly meant it - he is literally looking towards Firmino at the point he goes to& makes contact with the ball. The team will be running drills as to what runs to make & spaces to occupy in periods like that.

[Red_or_Dead]

I think these players are never told to whack it anywhere - any long clearance is aimed at a fellow red.
