bigfella Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 That new penalty system seems utterly s**** They've brought it in because they reckon the team that goes first gets an unfair advantage. So now the team that goes second gets a much more unfair advantage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Wtf was that pen shoot out about? Put on halfway through and Chelsea took 2 then Arsenal took 2? Or am I pissed? Same format as a Tennis tie break. Except to 5 obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why's it an advantage for the second team? I wouldn't be arsed about changing it myself but I can't see the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 If you take pens as poorly as Courtois and Morata did then the order is pretty much irrelevant. I get the pressure switching thing but I'd expect every penalty taker to be under extreme pressure regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only seen one shootout obviously, but it seems like to me it puts the team going first under massive pressure to score otherwise you are a bit fucked.

I have only seen one shootout obviously, but it seems like to me it puts the team going first under massive pressure to score otherwise you are a bit fucked. But that turns up the pressure on the second team to score their two and take the advantage, just like normal. And even if they do, the first team then get the chance to score two and get back on terms. As I said, I wouldn't be bothered either way but it works well in tennis so I can't see the problem really. Genuine question: are the majority of penalties in shootouts scored or missed? I would guess it's the former. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I wouldn't know tbf, but i would guess looking at that that it gives a much bigger advantage than they claim it was doing before for the team going first in the old system. I doubt it will mean much at the end of the day, i just find the whole thing a bit pointless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Just been to the Community Shield match. Was bemused and astounded how many Arsenal fans rushed out with me after final penalty and how many had already left and were walking down Wembley Way.
