Another one from Gervinho in Roma-Catania. Miss of the season?

I have the feeling Gervinho is going to become the celebrity of this thread and overtake even Robinho. He has the potential.
On 12 July 2013, Suso joined UD AlmerÃa on a season-long loan. [SUP][8][/SUP]
Suso made his debut for UD Almeria against Villareal in La Liga. He impressed greatly and was the most accurate passer in the final third. Furthermore, he was involved in both of his team's goals. Specifically, he assisted one goal and provided a through ball that lead to an assist for the other. Despite this, Almeria lost the match 3-2.
On 21 September 2013, Suso scored his first goal for Almeria against Levante UD.
On 30 October 2013, Suso helped Almeria to end a wretched run of five successive defeats by a victory against Valencia 1-2 in which he provided an assist to Argentine defender Marco Torsiglieri following an inswinging corner. In this process, Suso completed 4 assists and 1 goal in 10 La Liga matches.
On 2 November 2013, Suso assisted Rodri by putting a cross into the six-yard box and Rodri slid in to meet it, who then scored a controversial goal with his hand to give his side all three points in a 1-0 win against Real Valladolid.
On 30 November 2013, Suso scored his second goal for Almeria against Celta de Vigo.
What a miss!
Or at least that was the general consensus from Geordie fans after Loic Remy’s incredible sitter that cost Newcastle United victory against battling Southampton.
United had earned themselves a half-time lead thanks to a goal from Yoan Gouffran but after Jay Rodriguez beat the offside trap to tie the game up, the spotlight fell on Newcastle’s top scorer with 17 minutes left.
Then a goal kick from Paulo Gazzaniga went straight into the path of the eight goal striker but he somehow sent it wide of the target when it looked easier to score from 10 yards.

Black 'star' Puncheon.
Don't be surprised if he starts next season in the colors of a Championship team!
incredible miss by the "belgian" benteke against ivory coast:
The Swedish club Hammarby IF is getting value for their newly purchased african dna. Here, the Liberian Amadaiya Rennie is showing off his superior skills in the Swedish Cup against Malmö FF: http://www.tubechop.com/watch/2319775 (forward a second to make it play properly)
This was, according to the experts pre-game, someone to watch because of his great and "fun" playing-style!
Drogba's spectacular freekick against Chelsea in the CL,this midweek:
....remember that this guy is going to go down as one of the best strikers to have ever played the game:crazy:.

Ironically he hits the sign that reads "Drogba Legend"
However, I must admit that Drogba is one of the few black players I respect. As a striker he's not that bad. He's not your usual media-overhyped Balotelli, he has the ability to keep calm and score goals in important games and at important moments (the CL final against Bayern or his goal at the 2010 FA Cup final spring to mind). Also because of his positive involvement with his home country, his relatively stable family life with a wife from Africa and his being a devout Christian which seems to be a stabilising factor for Africans. At 36 he's on his way out anyway.
i like how he behaves in his public life too, but when he plays soccer he dives all the time, very annoying
against napoli the year chalsea won the champions league it was horrible
until 2012 drogba didn't manage to perform in champions league, because he's a player designed for the premier league, from our french coal factories, with a lot of love
he's physical, that's the only attribute he has
and he wasn't very stable against manchester united when he was sent off in the champions league final:
while he was expected to be the team's best player, he never managed to help his club in champions league
he only succeeded late when he was on his way out and lost his place in the starting 11
chelsea's champions league win was because of their defense (terry, cahill, david luiz) and lampard, maybe even ramires, he did good things for chelsea in that campain (especially against barcelona, he created the only goal of the first leg and scored a beautiful goal in the second leg)
as for his penalty against bayern munich, balotelli would have scored it too most likely
the english fans are pathetic for calling him a chelsea legend while they have guys like terry and lampard on their current team
I agree with all you say. Not that he's an exceptional player, just a notable and rare exception in a sea of overhyped, overpaid and underperforming black pricks. The exception that confirms the rule. If he were a White player, he wouldn't deserve special attention, but compared to other black players, he did relatively well both on the field (specifically his late career at Chelsea) and outside. That's why I mentioned him.
Against Bayern in the final, he didn't only score the penalty, he also scored the equalizer a few minutes before the final whistle, under intense time pressure. I find this to be exceptional for a black striker. Black strikers typically are impulsive and have enormous problems in keeping their cool and calm in front of the goal (hence this thread)... and they almost never perform under pressure.
