Penalty Taker

[daflanger]

wasnt the time as the game wasn’t over, shouldn’t be fucking about.

Agreed. Brighton could have gone the other way and scored!!! That would have been tough to swallow

Pep was asking Gundog wtf was going on, I think gundog give Sterling that pen.

Bizarre body shape and technique for a pen.

View attachment 8263

Head and shoulder positioning will tell you where the ball was going there without even knowing the outcome.

All his weight is on his left glute/hip because his head and shoulders are too upright.

It’s all wrong.

Weight should be over the standing knee/foot with head and shoulders over the ball... you teach eight year olds this shit.

I’m not bothered about us missing penalties if they actually know how to kick a football when they’re professional footballers... it’s when they don’t.

Once upon a time we had Balotelli, then Yaya, then Aguero, then Milner.

Don’t think we missed one for 3 seasons back then.

Sergio’s world class as we all know mate, but i never trusted him on pens i’ll be honest :/

 

[homerdog]

And who else would you put in goals for an important penalty

2 players, obviously!

No he isn’t but he was back then.

He didn’t miss one for a while and then caught a cold with them.

People have said it and I’ve always thought ‘no’ or that it was a meme but at this point I’d be the most comfortable with Ederson taking them

There's something in the back of my brain telling me Alex Stepney took penalties one season and may even have been United top scorer

Weird.
I remember the winner he took in the shoot out against Chelsea in the league Cup two seasons ago.
Under pressure but he hit it hard and tucked it in the corner just under the bar and the keeper went the wrong way.
What's gone wrong?

That was a fluke ha ha My heart at that moment ffs

 

[deano ou812]

I’m totally gobsmacked that our team with the technical ability we have in this side,the majority of them internationals as well and yet we are absolutely awful at pens it’s actually disgraceful at least get them on target ffs ..

 

[1961_vintage]

Not just Sterling though. Whole team needs some serious penalty taking training

I suspect that we are amazing at penners in training. It's the in-match pressure that we have a problem with.

Anyone except sterling . He’s an absolute fucking joke . And to top it off he smiles when he misses. Sick of pundits blowing smoke up his arse . Pep needs to give his head a wobble if he thinks Sterling is a better choice of penalty taker than the other 10 players on the pitch. just saying. Rant over

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

KDB. He’s not perfect but he’s our best option.
Gündogan, Agüero or Foden if he’s not playing.

Would also have Bernardo and maybe even Rodri and Cancelo next on the lost.

 

[Pezzer2]

He’s scored his last 8. I would have Harry Kane over any City player taking a pen

 

[Deleted member 77198]

That looks more like a Rugby player kicking one through the posts than a footballer taking a pen.

Spot on!

From the other side but look at Sinfield’s weight distribution, exactly the same as Sterling’s. Shoulders back, weight over the standing hip.


Look at Yaya’s here

All his weight is coming in a straight line down through his knee and head and shoulders are over where the ball was

 

[OrigamiNinja]

At least sterling won't be taking one again.

I thought that after his last miss.

It was a joke :)

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Make it that the one who won the penalty take it, and there's no f*cking about. If they miss it, they've only got themselves to blame.

Let's face it. Any regular penalty taker for United is going to be top scorer.

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

No he isn’t but he was back then.

He didn’t miss one for a while and then caught a cold with them.

Remember that spurs game when he scored 4 didn’t he miss 2 in that game? Memorys not the same!! he never looked same since? Oh for mario or yaya still to be here eh!!
