As high as that?
Going away from goal and not looking, with two defenders around and the keeper in position?

no idea how it's calculated, but imagine the fact that he was say 15 yards from goal must play into the factor (despite the angles and finish), distance must also be part of the category.
Put it another way, there was a 94% chance he couldn't score from there. Still insane in my view.

Spectacular goal. fudging hell. The vision, the composure, the execution...
Great to see him slotting in well deeper in midfield too, even though it was against Sheffield United and with 3 central defenders behind him. Thought his decision making looked good, mostly the easy passes that are required in the role, but then real quality when the opportunity to be more creative presented itself. Lasted the full game too.
If he can stay fit now the second half of the season could be even more impressive from him than it has been so far, and he's been all kinds of impressive so far.

Oh it is.
Initially I nodded when reading your post until, on thinking again, I wondered if someone was in that position and took 100 attempts, would six really be scored.
I think we have sold one player in the last 6 or so years that we didn't want to (Walker)
Ndombele is a unique talent but seems a shy guy, judging from his experience here, a big club when we bought him would probably have been a disaster. It's taken some work by the club (and a decision to not give up) plus an acknowledgement that Sissoko has helped, to get him to this platform.

Very fair point, no idea, but the fact that it hit the base of the post, i do think many would have shanked it wide or middle of goal, very few would have landed in the spot they did.

It will be one of the goals of the season; any centre back can smash one in from 25 yards at full blast, but it is VERY rare to see a strike of that quality with the outside of the wrong foot heading away from goal with only a postage stamp to hit. Unbelievable skill.
The way he let the ball fall on his left side and squeezed his arms in to ensure he didn't touch the ball with his arms, then pivoted and lifted the ball over and across into the far post, that is sheer brilliance.
And he did the assist to the assist.

Should be really. The only thing that counts against it is that to me it doesn't look particularly elegant, he's falling on his backside as he's doing it. No other way of doing it of course, but it doesn't look quite as elegant to me as some other top goals.
It's a ridiculous piece of skill though, on sheer quality, including the lobbed ball in behind and then that immense finish it's absolutely spectacular.

TBF fans are realising now how good this guy is
A big change then from the summer. It's funny reading back on the comments about him from the last transfer window and how impatient some fans are with new players and especially foreign players who have to settle.

I think some of the vitriol sent his way was beyond anything i have seen for a player before - pretty hefty servings of humble pie are in order

I don't know how they didn't realise after his debut in the Aston Villa match. I've said numerous times there been some revisioning to suggest he started poorly. He actually started very positively under Poch and was arguably our best player for the first 3 matches of last season (albeit the team itself in terrible form). Then he got his injury and never seemed to get back on form and fit and then the manager changed.
But he started well, and not being able to see his obvious quality is baffling. Then some of those same fans seem big fans of the guys who clearly lack in so many areas.
I find it all quite confusing. [emoji28]

He was being spoken about as the type of talent that'd go straight to a top tier club from France and it was a real coup that managed to get in there and sign him - the level he's playing at now is nowhere near the ceiling he was deemed as having at that point either - potential to be a genuine world class talent.
