Mental block at Anfield is real. Bottled it again.

This. Fucking this.

 

[Jag]

unfortunately he doesn't play for us anymore

The point is that taking penalties requires a certain type of mindset and bottle.

 

[paulchapo]

Let Ederson take one, everyone else has tried and failed. Stephney used to take them for the rags.

 

[Airbags Optional]

We need to practice bloody pens!!

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Yaya Toure never missed a penalty for City.

Neither did Mark Ward, what's he up to these days?

Technique was good then, just put too much power into it. Still annoying as fuck, mind.

I feel like the penalty problem within the team is a natural side effect of players playing within a VERY strict system...i think it mentally pressures players when it comes to having to be creative, weather that be in front of goal or penalties etc. I might be talking bollocks but when you look at how specific and detailed pep's plans systems are you can imagine being a bit edgy in that situation where you suddenly have to create.

No, sorry that's bollocks. Peps Bayern and Barca managed to score penalties like a normal side.

 

[Scottyboi]

Never known one team miss so many penalties in big games.

 

[Damanino]

Its criminal what we are doing of our penalties in the PL. Whats our stats on this on last 3 seasons. We kind of miss more than score.

 

[heslops barnet]

This is what it’s like to support City.......

 

[Blu1]

far from our best today & how Mahrez keeps his position is truly beyond me. He has done nothing

 

[BlueTG]

Let Ederson take one, everyone else has tried and failed. Stephney used to take them for the rags.

Or Foden. He’s about the last attacking option not to fluff one yet.

Create?

You have a free fucking shot at the goal, there is no creating.

 

[Beanhead]

Only City could find a German who can’t convert from the spot.

 

[mancityvstoke]

shit

 

[super_city_si]

last 3 penalties against these haveny even hit the target!

 

[bluke]

Someone call a fucking exorcist

 

[Out on blue 6]

Said it before but can't remember a player at City coming in and having such an immediate effect as Dias. Absolutely immense

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

all the praise for Gundogan and the moment you need him he either bottles it or does it on purpose, it's one of the two and neither are acceptable. TItle would be near dead if we scored those 2 pens against them, it's unacceptable.

 

[Gaz in Zurich]

It’s a long way to run back when he misses it

More reason for him to score. Plus didn't Grobbelaar use to take them years ago?
