Zaroury

[gawthorpe_view]

Who?

You'll see

[4midable]

Better than mcneil

[SouthLondonexile]

Very classy. Goal out of this world.!

[Guller Bull]

Better than mcneil

Certainly more potent.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

The goal was top class, if he was £3.5m that is some bargain

[jen1066]

Do we have a player who can take men on who also has an end product?

Tella, Benson, Zaroury, Maatsen, Vitinho and when he returns maybe Twine.

And this is before Kompany dips his wick into the January transfer market.

[Herts Clarets]

How does that one go?

Anass Zaroury x 3
Goes down the wing for me

That's what I think it was, Buddy Holly song at 3 times the recognised beat.

Intro.

[Tribesmen]

Some goal alright

[Blatherwickstattoo]

Will be a star this lad

[dougcollins]

Hast be Amore. Scans and rhymes perfectly.

[MrTechno]

Exceptional talent. Hope we can keep hold of him.

Oooooooo ooooooo oh
Oooooooo ooooooo oh
He stood there laughing
Ha ha ha ha
On the ball and you’ll smile no more

My my my zaroury
Why why why zarouy
So before they head to the exit door
Forgive them zarouy they can’t take anymore

[NewClaret]

Did anyone see the flick and run he did yesterday? Surprised that hasn’t been discussed unless I miss-saw it!

Yeah - quality

[Conroysleftfoot]

Better than mcneil

I think Zaroury looks good and hopefully will develop into an excellent player but he is playing against Championship quality defenders. Wait until he plays against Prem teams before you do any comparisons.

[dougcollins]

When the ball hits the net
You know you can bet
It's Zaroury

[MACCA]

Easy, simple, no clapping and not a rip off if a current or former players sing.

When the ball hits the goal
It's not Erling or Mo
It's Zaroury

Need some gif of that

This is my favourite, BUT what comes next?

gets my vote

[claretlegend]

Is he left or right footed? He scored the worldie with his right but took a corner with his left!

[claretspice]

Is he left or right footed? He scored the worldie with his right but took a corner with his left!

I thought he was right footed but I'm increasingly unsure and if he took a corner with his left then presumably thats his preferred foot. He's certainly the most 2 footed player I think I've seen at Burnley.

That finish yesterday is truly world class even if he is right footed. If its his weaker foot it is absolutely unreal. He just placed it but it went like an exocet missile. A little like watching someone like Virat Kohli time a cricket ball.

[jen1066]

Is he left or right footed? He scored the worldie with his right but took a corner with his left!

As all footballers should be - both!

[taio]

Pretty sure he's right-footed.

[claretandy]

A short corner? What minute?

[Zlatan]

In front of your goal
It’s not Erling or Mo
That’s Zaroury

When he gets the pass
Leaves you on your arse
That’s Zaroury

Then the ball hits the net
Now you’ll never forget
That’s Zaroury..!

[what_no_pies]

The Heartbeat song should stick. Very catch and a good pace. Me and my Brother were singing it all night.

"Anass
Anass Zaroury runs down the wing for me"
Then in time with the du du du du du's repeat Anass Zaroury 4x

And repeat. For 45 minites. Then for the rest of the evening. And possibly for the rest of time.

[davideyresleftear]

Certainly more potent.

I think Dwight was held back by the system when he played in the PL for us.

He’s played 572 mins and already scored 2 goals this season, whereas for us he got 0 goals in 3112 minutes last season.

I think he’ll really kick on at Everton, and good luck to him.

[claretspice]

Pretty sure he's right-footed.

And if he is that perfectly weighted and whipped cross for Jay last week is pretty remarkable.

The idea all players should be two footed is something of a cliche. At one level it’s true but it’s far less common than we’d all assume and besides there’s being able to use your weaker foot at a functional level and being able to manipulate a ball with either foot. The latter is very very rare IMO.

[ElectroClaret]

The commentator on the ITV goals programme had a short, catchy one when he scored....
"Zaroury...GOES FOR GLORY!!!"

[jen1066]

Like I suggested, he's both footed. Let's just accept he's an extremely good winger who can use both feet. He can cross, shoot and pass with either foot.

Agree - very rare. And like you say idealistic and unrealistic saying players should be two-footed. There have been many great players that were weak on their other foot.

[Garnerssoap]

That Swansea full back last week seemed to have been told he only had a right foot. He’s still at the shops now wondering what happened.

[Duffer_]

I think his dominant foot is his right but the sequence of his goals in the first highlights reel I pulled up were R, L, R, L. His two footedness and his balance are great attributes that mark him out as being capable of playing at a higher level (with us). Looking forward to seeing the never ending Zaroury.

[Burnley1989]

Top top class, probably the most talented player we have

I've passed your number onto Benson and Tella. They need to talk.

[Lancasterclaret]

Dunno if anyone has seen Khvicha Kvaratskhelia play for Napoli, but that thing he and Zaroury do to fool defenders about which way they are going are very similar

If Zaroury could turn out as good as he is, then, wow

Yes 'Kvaradona' is one of the most exciting prospects in world football at the moment. I saw him live against Ajax recently and he ripped them a new one.

Someone replied: "Good first half but faded once Aarons got the measure of him".

Oh dear. Ckueless. He faded as they had 2-3 men on him.

[Lancasterclaret]

Someone on twitter also made the comparison with Mahrez, which is another one that you'd be thrilled if he turned out to be that good

He's more 2 footed than Mahrez.

[Quicknick]

Looks like our best signing so far.

[claretspice]

Definitely more 2 footed than Mahrez, although whether he'll turn out to be a better player is a different question. But he's undoubtedly the most 2 footed player I've seen play for Burnley and as I said previously it's very rare to be able to manipulate the ball on both feet like he appears to be able to.

I thought he did plenty to reaffirm his potential on Tuesday but also demonstrated a bit where he has stuff to learn. He did get drawn into showboating a bit at times- beating a man twice where once would have done fine and doing a bit much himself rather than playing the simple ball. That decision making will come with time and I'd far rather he had the confidence to showcase his talent rather than the opposite. His final cross was also a bit disappointing - given the amount of opportunities he had in the first half in particular he would have expected to carve out more clear chances than he did.

But these are minor gripes in the context of huge talent. I also thought at times he showcased other important skills - his passing was generally perfectly weighted (see one gorgeous ball over to Benson just before he came off) so he's got a lot more in his locker than just a trick and a shot. There is though a danger of expecting him to hit the heights too often too young and being disappointed when he inevitably falls short- we've seen that before at Burnley.

Given what JBG and Brownhill have shown I'd quite like to see him take a free kick sometime soon!

[Big Vinny K]

I had a great view from the Lower Jimmy Mac stand of our warm up shooting routine before the game.
Zaroury and Tella were the best strikers of the ball. They were both deadly accurate curling it into the corners with a lot of power and great technique.
JayRod can still ping a great ball too.

I am loving Zaroury’s (and Tella’s) positive body language too. They both seem to be loving it here and you could tell they are both extremely popular with the other players. It’s great to see this kind of talent and positivity at the club at the moment.

I doubt either have had 4 or 5 thousand away fans singing songs they have made up about them in the career so far so I’m not surprised they are loving their football right now.

[bodge]

Spice is right about the pass to Benson, it was perfectly weighted and displays a football knowledge outside of going past his man.

Great signs.
