Penalty Taker

[tonea2003]

fair f**ks to mahrez he nailed that pen, wont lie i was bricking it after his liverpool debacle

 

[Ribchester]

The man is a fool. If he’d missed it ................

Like many on here a penalty no longer excites me, I rank it somewhere between a corner and a throw in (in opponents half)

 

[Sir peace frog]

Full confidence in mahrez scoring, his record is outstanding, he's only missed 5 of the last 14, up there with balo, yaya and matt le tizz

 

[its a Barm]

First time ever I closed my eyes when we had a penalty

 

[Saddleworth2]

I have to shamefully admit to swearing a lot when I saw who was taking it. I might even have said FFS.
All credit to the lad. Took nerve to put his hand up and he executed it with great efficiency.

 

[Bozzie]

So, only me who had no worries over the penalty and absolutely knew Mahrez would score? To be honest, I

a) was watching it on my laptop where
b) it looked like KDB was stepping up and
c) Mrs Bozzie was watching on her Ipad which was at least 20 seconds ahead of my stream and so had already given me the 'thumbs up' sign before he'd taken it on my stream, so
d) I just sat back and enjoyed the moment!

"penalty"

oh shit

"Mahrez" - FFS

Then the guy hits the perfect pen.
Some balls that, great pen.
When he takes another will I feel confident ? No

Someone has to take responsibility - one or two players only for the whole of next season, just spend 30 mins after every training session and keep working on it. Never debate it afterwards, never give someone one for sentimental reasons or anything else. Just be much more professional in our approach on this skill.

Its time we turned to Ederson. He's the only one who would remain calm. You can almost feel the anxiety of the penalty taker every time they step up to take it. It's getting ridiculous. The fans excitement of getting a penalty decision one is now replaced with dread because it's a lottery whether it turns into a goal and from 12 yards it shouldn't be.

Give it to Eddie till the end of the season.

 

[Coljj]

I hope it's destiny that he saves the 5th penalty in the shootout then finally gets his chance to win us the CL.

I personally think Foden would be fine on pens or Zinchenko if playing. The rest miss too many. Remember that one Jesus missed? Christ I thought I wouldn’t see a worse one than that.....I was wrong!

As we approach a UCL final, it’s time to remember that Gundogan has scored a penalty goal in a UCL final

 

[eyalluvitt]

Haven’t our ladies missed two today ? It must be catching at the training campus

 

[pudge]

Eddie, solely because he'll leather the bastard like you're supposed to

Until he leathers one against the bar, it flies back over 40 yards over his head and the opposition have 2 passes and score into an empty net......

yeh but the guy in row Z getting his head taken off might not agree with you. i think he would disguise his kick like he does with his passes out of the back.

That is because they probably do not practise them. One of us Bluemooners should volunteer for the position of penalty coach.

100% Eddie takes one in a shoot out as the obvious risk people talk about doesn't exist

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

Its strange but when we had yaya on pens i never thought he’d miss & he didn’t!! nowadays i never expect us to score from one!! Chelsea to play for pens in final should be their perfect tactic unfortunately :-/
