Ravel Morrison has been at it again during his training with the England U21 squad, this time with a sensational back heel volley that nestled nicely in to the top corner of the goal.
The FA – who must be getting tired of making highlight videos of Ravel’s skills both in training and during games – released a video of the goal on YouTube and, as expected, the 20-year-old midfielder’s name was on everybody’s lips within minutes of the video going public.
And Football fans are a funny bunch, knowing how to appreciate the type of skill Ravel has been showcasing on what seems like a weekly basis, but also how to under-appreciate a player’s talent, which several Twitter users demonstrated after this goal.
A quick search of Morrison’s name on Twitter gave us a mixture of appreciative, negative, underwhelming and quite funny views of his latest England U21 training magic trick.
So have a read of the views of Twitter’s football fans who just couldn’t get enough of it…

So was it really that good, or is that sort of thing expected from professional footballers during training when they’re under no pressure from defenders? Leave your thoughts in the comments section below.
