I can't be the only one that thinks a large number of Greenwood's many near post finish goals should have been saved by the keeper. Since his breakthrough in terms of goals last season he has scored so many goals at the near post, either narrowly beating the keeper or with the keeper getting a hand on them. What's particularly interesting is that a lot of these goals seem like they have been scuffed just a little bit.
This might sound like criticism but its not I actually think it's genius in some ways. He's a natural finisher so he must be aware that there is an advantage by finishing the way he does.
Aguero is another lethal near post finisher but he usually gets a lot of power behind his. Greenwood has powerful shots too like his goal against spurs but its the ones that don't seem cleanly hit that really fascinate me.
At the rate he's going, these might be his trademark goal. Why are these so difficult for keepers to save? Especially with the old cliche of keepers should never be beaten at their near post. Greenwood makes a mockery of the saying.
