He hasn't been that good at cracking them passed the keepers recently in open play. Probably why McGinn gave him the ball to "boost his confidence". Bad decision from the captain though.

I think he was maybe always taking it? But SJM was doing that to take any grief that would come off the Bologna players.

Ashley Young did it fabulously a couple of seasons ago for us before chucking the ball to whoever took it

Danny Ings. 4-0 v Brentford. Our manager was Aaron Danks.

Just Googled out of interest. Assistant at Bayern. Not too shabby.

I'm having difficulty in even persuading myself that I remember Aaron Dankes.

I spoke to a former premier league striker about this about a year ago (he was never the main penalty taker for any of his sides, but scored about a dozen across his entire career), and he said hitting that sweet spot where the keeper can't it get is incredibly hard, and the margin for error is so small if you aim just inside the post, that many players simply prefer hitting it hard at a place that gives them a much higher percentage of it being on target each time, even if it brings in the chance of a save.

He was never a fan of waiting for the keeper to move and going the other way.

Me too. Can't picture him. Neil Cutler seemed more prominent in that short time between Gerrard and Emery.

Aaron Danks certainly hasn’t landed in a bad spot having left us. Part of Michael Carrick’s staff at Boro and now with Bayern with Kompany. Could be a CL winning coach in a month or so.
