It gets better. Thinking keepers should be capable of saving a penalty out of five on average = you're a bellend. So, let me ask all of you, should a keeper ever be expected to save a penalty in his career? If so, let's put a number on it shall we.The cookie monster said:You have made yourself look like a bellend.
Stop digging!
Skashion said:So we've gone from an excellent keeper should save a penalty, let's say on average, in a penalty shootout, to every time a keeper must go the right way...Tricky Dickys Right Foot Shot said:Didn't Buffon go the wrong way for one of our penalties? What a shit keeper nowhere near a class keeper!
some peoples mentality and way of thinking on here is fuckin stupid!
Fucking stupid isn't the word for you, nor the other idiots who can't read what I'm actually writing.
Skashion said:Going the wrong way? Aren't keepers supposed to have influence over that? As in, they should go the right way...

Skashion said:How on Earth was Pirlo's 'unsaveable'? Pirlo fucking dinked him because Hart went early.eshiers1 said:Skashion said:I think it is fair to expect an excellent keeper to save at least one penalty in a penalty shootout, so yes, poor performance for the penalties in an otherwise solid keeping performance.
which one did you expect him to save yesterday??
2 were right in the corner
pirlo's unsaveable
the 4th sent him the wrong way
Going the wrong way? Aren't keepers supposed to have influence over that? As in, they should go the right way...
The mind boggles.
I just don't think you should label joes performance as poor in the shootout.Skashion said:It gets better.

Making faces towards the penalty takers!
I thought he may of saved atleast one, the way he's been going on
That he had studied them
I don't blame him for not saving Balo's. However, I do think it's a fair expectation that excellent keepers should be saving 1/5. The stats on penalties show between 25-30% of penalties are unsuccessful depending on league and year (it's a long-term average across Europe). Obviously some of those are missed penalties, let's say half. So that still leaves a good 12.5-15%. Should an excellent keeper be saving 20-25%, I think that's within the bounds of reason. Were two of the penalties last night saveable had Hart not gone early? Yeah, I think so. By my reckoning Hart should be doing better. I won't apologise for having high expectations of someone who I consider the greatest shotstopper in the world right now. If that makes me a bellend, in the eyes of many on this thread, so be it.The Pink Panther said:The science behind how a goalkeeper can read which direction the ball will go is by watching the standing foot
In the "majority" of cases, the ball will be struck in the direction that the standing foot is pointing and in that brief moment as the penalty taker looks down at the ball, that's when the keeper should move.
That's the science, but it doesn't answer how to save one of Mario's when he doesn't look at the ball.
