Mason-Clark frequency uses his chest for controlling the ball and did so for his goal v WBA. I cannot remember anyone using this skill so effectively in a City shirt since Cyrille Regis.
Anyone else come to mind?

Well Glen Hoddle the best I saw. Tbh I'd not really paid too much attention to EMC doing it, but Rudi mentioned it at the end of the latest unseen.

Not a City player, but the best exponent of the art was Stuart Pearson in the mid to late 70s for Man Utd. He passed the ball with ease using his chest.

Not a city player but the chest master is Lewis Dunk

Don't blame him! His upper body is one of his biggest strengths so the fact he is utilising this is fantastic!!

Someone has watched the behind the scenes video of the WBA game

I have said previously he is a forward in the Cyril Regis mould rather than a ‘winger’. The ball over the top for him to attack the space behind the defence is when he looks most potent, rather than trying to beat a man out wide with a step over or a trick. He isn’t that good when he cuts inside off the wing either, rarely gets a shot away. He is however dangerous in the six yard box, especially when attacking the far post.

If he could stay on side more I think he could develop better down the middle than out on the left.

When I saw that goal, I thought what a great piece of skill it was to bring that ball under control with his chest to enable him to get the shot away. It was excellent, but passed all the Sky pundits by, so pleased it has been raised by Steve,

Lobbing the keeper like that is a difficult skill. When it comes off it looks such an easy thing to do - but it isn’t.

David Speedie did a few good chest passes , did a good 1 in the charity shield in the first half.

Forgive us our chest-passes,
As we forgive those who chest-pass against us

I agree.

It was tricky with the bouncing ball. It would have been easy for him to have got his foot too much under the ball and see it fly way over the bar.

I thought it was a cracking goal.

Why? Because he's noticed EMC use his chest a few times? Might not have anything to do with watching that video

Callum Wilson decent using his chest, also Ginola.

It was just that Rudoni specifically mentioned it and how EMC does it a lot to the point that it should be trademarked to him like the Cold celebration to Cole Palmer.

It was tongue in cheek

Not sure it will catch on like the Cole Palmer one.
