Looks more like he learned it from Eto'o.

Except in slow motion… my nan could have saved that.

I thought exactly the same, hairy's nan could have laid her knitting on that, and the goalie is only 4' 6"

Think you're both underestimating the level of bend on that. The keeper looks like he thinks it's going out before realising the curl is bringing it back in. It pretty much goes in off the post, too. Lovely technique. Did similar against paderborn in pre season.

not at all misunderestimating it, there is a lot of bend on it, but he's passed it in, we've all done that, we used to practice it in the park when we were kids, long before beckham did it (and before he was born in my case), goalies for jumpers and all that

Anyway, a prem goalie would have that easy, and a prem defence wouldn't have given him the space, not saying it didn't look nice, it did, but he's playing against kids, in the prem he would have so many touches to set it up and he'll have to hit it a lot harder, and still get the same bend on it, and he knows all that too.

He knows the prem will be a big step up for him, and I'm sure he'll respond when he gets his chance.... Hang on, where was I again? Oh yeah that beckham, she loves it up the arse she does, dirty cow

The fact of the matter is ? Chris Long knows were the goal is irrespective of a soft touch goal or Hairy's granny could have saved it , he'll score more than Kone. As for giving the lad a chance, keep him on the bench and bring him on in games we are comfortably in charge of 2/3 up..

We'll see. Like Sacko says, that wouldn't happen in the PL, so there's no point looking at a goal like that and thinking he;s ready to step up.  The coaching staff will be seeing what he's doing day in day out, when he's training with the big boys, and if he was amazing he'd be getting a game, whatever his age.  Hopefully he'll be able to step up, but I'm not going to start getting excited based on him passing it round a midget goalie in an under-14 ladies game.

Well excuse me for enjoying a nice goal from one of our youth teamers. I bet you he does score one in the premier league. I bet you he scores 50 of the fuckers in one season and I'll be back on here to proclaim myself a football genius.

Burnley are set to unveil Everton striker Chris Long as their third summer signing today. While the precise nature of the deal is to be confirmed, the 20-year-old is expected to tie up a move to Turf Moor after a slight delay yesterday evening.
