Well?
Did he mean it or did he get lucky?

I'd say instinctive, you can tell from his body movement that
he anticipated the ball.

That was my conclusion but Im still a bit undecided tbh. Ive seen it so many times and its hard to tell. A few times it even looked like an og.:blink:

 

[Fiat Cunto]

instinctive most defiantly! ive watched the goal again and its so obvious he changes his body shape! he is a born goal scorer IMO and was just born with those instincts like all the best strikers are!

 

[thekeanefella]

a bit of both really.
fluke or not you have to be there taking your chances.

 

[MsUnited]

Couldn`t care less. That`s what i voted.
He`s a natural striker, you could see that
both type of goals are important, good strikers score both.

 

[PeeJay]

I remember a player scoring in his first two games for
the club, albeit in friendlies against Far Eastern teams.

His name was Nani.:blink:

fair enough :thumbsup:
I wasnt really gonna merge it anyway.
I only suggested it so I wouldnt get in trouble for thread duplicating.

I'd like to think it was instinctive although only Macheda will know. He definitely turned his foot to angle it in though

Macheda v Sunderland
There it is again..... I still kinda think its instinctive but Im not 100% sure.

Well, if was instinctive, it's the right kind of instinct, for a player like him to have.

 

[AidanNelson2009]

I don't think it was a fluke, he turned his foot to tuck it into the bottom right corner, i don't think the ball just luckily came off his foot and went in, he had great reflexes and it was a great goal.

 

[Grif SA]

Frankly, I don't care if it was instinctive or not, it's the fact he's putting himself into good positions that is what I'm happy about. That he's scoring these game winners, well that's just the cherry on top of the icing on top of the cake!

 

[Nachito Coronel]

I think the fact that he anticipates the ball proves it was not a fluke, still could not care less to be honest, a goal is a goal no matter what.

"As soon as the ball came to him, he puts his foot on it and that's the instinct of a striker.

We're very hopeful for the boy - he's got a great eye for goal and a tremendous physique."

Macheda v Sunderland
There it is again..... I still kinda think its instinctive but Im not 100% sure.

Not just going by that clip, watched it from lots of different angles.
On play or even slow play it looks instinctive, freeze it and run frame by frame it looks
like a fluke, he doesn't seem to turn his foot to it but he does see the ball coming and
deflects it.

My vote.....Who gives a monkeys ? It's a goal and a very important one at that. :specool:
Will be debated for a long time to come.

UNITED top of the league !!!

 

[RDJ]

I couldn't care less. That was an important goal and I'm happy we got the vital 3 points.

On a side note, Macheda is showing our other strikers that good things do happen when you stick around the penalty box

 

[Wazza1989]

at first it looks like a fluke, but i sincerely don't care. United won and Macheda scored another impotant goal . I'm realy glad for him , but i'm even more happy that we won. I was realy dissapointed when i saw what kind of goal we've received. Let's hope we can cut the mistakes short in the future games.

“He has got something special about him, the boy,” Ferguson said. “I haven’t seen the goal, but one of

the players said he actually tried it. He side-footed it as it came to him. It’s that quick-thinking that

goalscorers have got. He has just got that instinct.”

- Sir Alex Ferguson
