Liverpool seemed more professional in their briefing of Mignolet, (whereas Joe Hart didn't appear to receive any briefing).
Preparation seemed casual. (There were echoes of Bayern away for me, when we didn't know how many goals we needed to qualify.)
How do you know we didn't practice penalties
Cibaman said he "wouldn't have bothered practising pens." I disagreed.
Whether we practiced or not, saving none, (Sturridge kicked over the bar), and missing 3 out of 4 penalties kicks does not set a good standard for tournament progression.
Like Jack Nicholson said "the more I practice the luckier I get."
I want our club to be the gold standard in preparation and application.
Jack Nicholson you say?
Not even close - the famous actor doesnt need much luck learning lines for a film
It was also Gary Player not Jack Nicolas who said the more i practice the luckier i get... other than that you were spot on

Very true. A serious penalty practice session involving all of the players that could be called on to take a penalty would take what, 1-2 hours? There must better ways of using that time at this stage of pre season.

Has there been one since? To be honest, it was an abysmal penalty.
the overall performance during the 90 mins was excellent...well up to when Yaya and Micah Richards came on and Jovetic and Clichy went off to be precise....as for the Pens...it looked like we did'nt really want to progress any further in this competition and face the mighty Rags in MIami?..who should win the league by at least 15 points ..if you listen to the Media. .............i agree when it comes down to the serious side of competitons, we will be different.
