Footballers who are weirdly good at one specific thing

[Solius]

Jean Beausejour looked rubbish every time I saw him but he could whip in absolute pearlers when he wanted to.

James Milner used to be really good at somehow keeping the ball in play when it looked certain to go out.

Fellaini appears to be quite effective with the Roulette skill which is a bit bizarre.

Any others?

There's a whole array of terrible footballers who seem to exist only because they can throw the ball really far e.g. Rory Delap.

 

[meamth]

Probably Rory Delap. Long throws.

 

[2cents]

Quaresma with that outside of the foot shot.

 

[whatwha]

Quaresma using the outside of the foot

edit: feck off @2cents

 

[Samid]

Quaresma and the outside of his foot.

 

[horsechoker]

Fellaini chest control

 

[Bubz27]

Who's that guy who curls it with the outside of his right foot because he can't use his left? Quaresma.

 

[Solius]

Lamela with the rabona too I guess.

 

[Don Alfredo]

Neymar at falling over

 

[Inter Yer Nan]

Diego Alves at saving penalties. Probably the best record ever and by a wide distance.

 

[Adam-Utd]

Adel Taraabt and the nutmeg

 

[Solius]

Hernandez and scoring off of weird parts of his body. Back of the head, face, etc..

 

[An Irish Red]

Jordan Henderson and arguing with referees.

 

[Irrational.]

Coutinho - long range wondergoals after cutting onto his favoured right foot.

 

[TsuWave]

Valencia. hitting opposition shins.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Phil Jones at tackling with his head

 

[simonhch]

Kerlon - The seal dribble.

 

[anant]

Fellaini- dividing fan base

 

[GledTheRed]

Heskey and Welbeck @ stepovers

 

[Irrational.]

Mark Noble and Dennis Wise - limited on the pitch, gobby shites.

 

[meamth]

Cattermole with his english tackling.
Messi with his football.

 

[Redplane]

David De Gea. Stopping balls in play. The useless git.

 

[RedTillI'mDead]

Phil Jones at tackling with his head

and turning into the biggest donkey in football. Some players watched stars of the present or past for inspiration. Jones watched the Donkey in Shrek

 

[Canagel]

Fellaini at heading/chesting.

 

[luke511]

David Dunn and the rabona lol

 

[Isotope]

Pippo Inzhagi. He only score goals because VAR wasn't used on his time.

 

[xonyo]

Clichy and intercepting. Used to stand 5 yards off the opposition and then sprint for it.

 

[ash_86]

Phil Jones and his facial expressions.

 

[Minimalist]

Luis Garcia, exclusive world-beater for 2005. Blink and miss it.

 

[The White Pele]

Ashley Cole, goal line clearances

Suarez, dribbling the ball straight through a player

Aguero, shifting the ball and shooting in one motion. Defoe similar

Kane and Lampard, shooting a ball with power when it's under their feet

Vidic, glancing header back to the keeper from a long ball

Mata getting over the ball and keeping it low when shooting from a low cross

Gabriel Jesus scoring offside goals

 

[Dolf]

Has anyone said Quaresma yet? I heard he's really good with the outside of his foot.

 

[Red Stone]

Rooney at saying "eeehrm".

 

[Rado_N]

Phil Neville at stepovers.

 

[Scarecrow]

Seeing the Delap mentions reminded me - Denmark's left back is right up there with him. Had some insane throws, particularly against Croatia. Skinny lad, too.

 

[shamans]

Fellainis chest control is legit all time great. Berbatovs touch controling high balls

 

[GazTheLegend]

Anderson used to be weirdly good at flicking the ball straight into the air forward as a through ball. Can’t recall any footballer I’ve seen since him that tries that.

 

[iHicksy]

Axel Tuanzebe. Hungry Hippos.

 

[100]

Anyone mentioned the Portuguese guy with the tattoos

 

[Canagel]

Robben cutting inside on his left foot and curling it in. He must have about 40 goals of those in his career.
