Winny B was an absolute beast on Championship/Football Manager back in the day! Won many a league with him a Taribo West at the back

Punching is pretty common amongst UK keepers these days tbh, it's not the 90's anymore.

In a crowd penalty box, there's less chance of spilling it straight at the feet of an opponent and b) it opens the opportunity for an instant counter attack, rather than catching, falling to the ground, waiting til the box clears, then everyone is marked.

I don't think they're coached to punch in spite of the fact that 'catching is better' ...cos, like... why would they do that?

Even after he ended up at Real, it seemed to take a while for him to get going. Only turned out a little wrong, there...

Robinho was like that for me. Hellish good on FM too.
