That's the second time in his City career that he's tried to smash it high and the second time that he's missed the target, he did the same against Bayern in Munich, he almost always hits it low and scores, why did he change his penalty routine tonight ? simply put he's not right in his head at the moment.
He scored 10 goals in the first 5 games of the season mate, what's happened since ? you can't say it's lack of service because he's been missing multiple chances per game.Exactly this. In his first season he was completely trusting himself, not doing odd uncharacteristic things, and absolutely everything went his way. I don't think that trust in himself is quite there at the moment. And it is certain that the fact that everything seems to rest on him, that he is our sole spearhead (think of the 2011-12 season, when we had three recognised strikers to be rotated) is no good for him, and no good for the team.
Right that was a very good one, but even then he probably didn't need to do it, just go low and hard like you always do, no goalie has saved a pen against him in a City shirt, and remember you can hit a pen too high but never too low.Third time.. he scored the one against Spurs!
He also has to be given chances irrespective of a penalty miss.We have no chance if he doesn't take his chances.
I agree 100%He also has to be given chances irrespective of a penalty miss.
