Owen had an awful record but kept taking them like the self centred little shit he is.
This. I never felt good about seeing him step up for a spot kick.Owen had an awful record but kept taking them like the self centred little shit he is.
I remember an advert for The Premiership (yes with Andy Townsend's tactics truck!) Years ago where they started the show by sayingOwen had an awful record but kept taking them like the self centred little shit he is.
Surprised how poor his record is. Also factoring in some they've taken for their national teams and Owen scored in the shoot outs from memory.This. I never felt good about seeing him step up for a spot kick.
Gerrard was more than capable of missing when he wanted to. He put one over at Ewood Park in Hodgson's last game as manager. Some think he did it on purpose to get him the boot.Surprised how poor his record is. Also factoring in some they've taken for their national teams and Owen scored in the shoot outs from memory.
Fowler always had a good technique, slowly stepped up and just chip the ball into the corner after the keeper started diving so imagine he had good success rate.
Think Fowler's record was 20/24. Pretty solid.Surprised how poor his record is. Also factoring in some they've taken for their national teams and Owen scored in the shoot outs from memory.

Aguero too.City have some of the worst ones around. Sterling, Jesus, Mahrez, all pretty terrible.
100% he knifed him in the back that day, Gerrard always powerful to the bottom corner. Blackburn away strolls up and lifts it over the bar.Gerrard was more than capable of missing when he wanted to.

It's especially bizarre with Deeney.Troy Deeney and Vardy would be awful penalty takers if every keeper just stayed down the middle. Don't know why they fall for diving when these two blast it down the middle all the time.
There seems to be some bizarre phobia for keepers staying down the middle. They'd probably save more pens staying down the middle every time and just sticking a leg out to whatever side.Troy Deeney and Vardy would be awful penalty takers if every keeper just stayed down the middle.

I suspect there’s way less research goes in to a match than we’d like to think. Especially from the players. In fact there’s probably none from the players.He smashes it down the middle every single time and yet so few keepers seem to realise that
Aye. You think with all the data analysis and scientific approach in place there that they'd be able to choose the best penalty taker, rather than repeatedly getting it wrong and squandering points (as well as a shot at the CL last year). Sterling's penalty technique is horrible.City have some of the worst ones around. Sterling, Jesus, Mahrez, all pretty terrible.
I think they've finally realised that KDB is their best taker. Last night was just an anomaly with it being a dead rubber for them and Sterling chasing the golden boot.Aye.

Be interesting what the City penalty line up would be if a SF or even final in CL goes to penalties.Aye.

Sterling's penalty technique is horrible.
Agree, I dont remember the exact number but he has something around 65% of success which is awful for any player but more for a player of his quality.Pogba. No doubt about it.
There's actually academic research to back it up. I think it's called the goalkeeper dilema or something. Basically if all keepers just stood still they'll save about 30% of penalties.There seems to be some bizarre phobia for keepers staying down the middle.

Fair play to you for watching that. I missed MOTD so much when ITV got the rights to that show.I remember an advert for The Premiership (yes with Andy Townsend's tactics truck!) Years ago where they started the show by saying
"The 3 best strikers in the league step up to the spot, but only 1 scores, find out after the break"
Naturally it was Ruud, into the side netting, with Owen and Henry missing
Holy feck, that is amazing. Just checked it, he didn't even hit the target on the first two and was fast to get the ball to have the third one. What a clown.Wasn't there a Brazilian who missed three in the one match for his national team? Maybe not Brazilian but South American?
Edit: Just looked it up. Martin Palermo for Argentina
Worst or best?Lukaku?
