Can't help but notice that our Bradley doesn't do dinks which is a pity. Watching Nani and his dink yesterday, it struck me that a player doesn't actually get very much time to decide between a kick or a dink over. I would like to know whether doing dinks is something that can be taught and practised, or is it one of those things that is basically instinctive and a player has either got it or not got it?

I would estimate that he's had about 10 chances this season, with only the keeper to beat & scored about 3.
These went under the goalie & the others were all saved.
Agreed, he would score a lot more if he could add this to his game.
i love it when it works. though most of the time the keeper still manages to save it or kick it away before it crosses the line.
Dinking it is fine but BWP needs to master a more simple technique when he's one on one. It involves making an angle with the keeper. That's what he fails to do- twice on saturday and once at Carlisle. The keeper relies on knowing where his goal is. Some are totally obsessed by it and rightly so. A striker needs to draw the keepr to a position where he loses his bearings, i.e. doesn't know where the corners of his net are behind him- then slot it in.
