3ft off the post :lol: Fucking hell you never see them kept out like. Watch Harry Kane's penalty from Saturday for a comparison.

 

Watched it again anyway, no way he sends de Gea the wrong way, he just guesses correctly unless de Gea fell for 'the eyes'. He doesn't even start to make his dive until Mitrovic has connected with the ball, so he didn't wait to see where he was going before he placed it either. It just wasn't that great a penalty, honestly not sure why anyone who has seen a penalty kick before is arguing otherwise.

 

Goalkeepers read the shooter's plant foot when guessing which way to dive, it's not just a random choice they make when they guess wrong.

Never understood how giving the keeper the eyes works. Is it just staring at him and then pointing your eyes to one corner and then kicking it the other way?

Basically aye, baffled why Shearer used to blast them into the top corners tbh, all he needed to do was give either corner a knowing glance and then gently roll it down the middle.

Alright then,it's not that great a penalty,and yet he beats De Gea worth consummate ease,but it would be saved 3-4 times out of 10  :lol:

So every penalty that the keeper dives the wrong way for is a good penalty?

Remember when Zidane scored that shit penalty in the 2006 World Cup final chipping it straight down the middle against Buffon? If he stood still he would have saved it! Should have let Henry take it and give it a proper blastie.

I would say its probably better to hit a ball down the middle than a bit to either side but not in the corner
