Nine Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) It was a joke of a pen because he missed it, despite the ridiculous run up for all we know he scores those most of the time in training. Wouldn’t mind never seeing a stutter run up again though. Edited November 10, 2022 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Did he miss a pen? Don’t think it’s been mentioned yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I can tell you, I didn’t complain when he had the exact run up against Mexico in the Olympics last summer. That’s the way he takes penalties. Look at how Neymar does it, looks ridiculous and the day he misses it will be villified, but he has scored 500 straight penalties with that run up.

Joseph Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 The “just fuckin smash it man????” crowd are pretty thick/tedious, as if a conventional miss is somehow morally superior to a stutter miss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 The best of the best miss penalties and for both him and Sven it's probably a good thing they've missed it at a game like this which we ended up winning anyway. they will learn from it and get better.

Was not a totally serious comment and I do agree in general, the whole situation felt bit absurd though - was 100% confident he was going to score when he stepped up and then that happened - but shit happens. I am just thankful it wasn't ASM that did it to be honest, would have been crucified. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 For the crusty 'leather it' crew - Shearer missed a chunk of his pens. It happens, it's not a guarantee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 The stutter run up gives you that half a second to see if the keeper will commit. You look daft if you miss but no worse than any regular run up to be honest. If anything it gives you that better chance but you have to be ready to shoot any direction. It happens, it didn’t affect us in the end so we move on and learn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 The player that is Bruno, that plays with an almost unfathomable amount of confidence to marry up with his tremendous skill, is also going to be a player that won't do the simple things at times. I don't want him to change, I love him for who he is, faults and all. Carry on taking penalties (if you're allowed after last night!) in any way you bloody like, mate.

LiquidAK Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 There’s a dressing room victory photo on Botman’s Instagram story, can’t find it anywhere else, but Bruno looks DEVASTATED in it, only one not smiling.

'Smashing it' is no better than the stuttered run-up. Two or three strides then place with as much power as accuracy allows is the optimum way to take one. A long run up increases the chances of a mis-stride and therefore a mis-kick; the stuttered run-up is that on steroids; the 'just fuckin smash it' is liable to go anywhere but the target. At some point, someone is going to miss or have their spot kick saved. But you don't need to increase the odds by being daft.

Not sure I agree - power over accuracy works well a lot of the time, because you don't know exactly where it's going to go. As you just have a general area, you become harder to read, and if the keeper does get it right, the power can help ensure he won't get to it in time. All of Pope's saves were from really timid penalties with no power. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of Pope's saves were from really timid penalties with no power. Agreed - it is a question of proportionality. You want to strike the ball as cleanly as possible - which is why long or stuttered run-ups are a bad idea. But blasted penalties - really putting the laces through it - isn't any more likely to result in a goal to me. A weak penalty on target definitely has a better chance of going in than a blasted one off-target Still love Beppe Signori's technique, me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhPRfmzZyUE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
