How did Hugo's Stoke strike figure?
The decision of who will win JWAW Goal of the Season 2011 is less clear cut than last year, which saw Maynor Figueroa take not only the Latics award but BBC’s Premier League-wide accolade as well. To genuinely beat a goalkeeper from 60 yards is quite remarkable, and it was always going to be hard to top that effort. Nevertheless, of the forty goals scored by Latics in the 2010-11 Premier League, we’ve seen some real crackers.
It was also a difficult decision as to which criteria should be applied; by right, you’d say Charles N’Zogbia’s last minute strike against West Ham (15 May) and Hugo Rodallega’s goal v. Stoke (22 May) ought to occupy #1 and #2 as they were the most important. However, it’s always a case of balancing quality with match situation, a quandary which others may interpret differently. In fact, I’m not entirely happy with some of my own placings of these goals, which I’m sure I’ll change my mind about after I see the season review DVD, but I think I got the big ones in there.
With that out of the way, here are Jesus Was A Wiganer’s Latics Goals of the Season 2010-11.
