That's a very muted walk back to the training room after such a result. That must be someone's decision.

 

It was over at half time. Once they stopped laughing and decided to let Isak get his goal, it probably felt like a formality.

Watching Eze's penalty on match cam is hilarious. 


There’s something satisfying about watching “tricky” pen attempts utterly fail.

 

Just run up and fucking smash it ffs

Surely kicking the ball as hard as possible into the bottom corner from a penalty has to be the easiest action in football? It’s a free shot with nobody anywhere near you. It’s definitely the most low effort/high reward thing.

Penalties are all about technique, and it isn’t necessary to put your laces through it.  
 

The stuttered run-up and the ‘Panenka’ rely on the other party making a mistake, rather than the technique of the taker; that’s their biggest failing.  Neither are the result of good technique, but daft cunts will fawn over them when they come off as if it is the result of the quality of the player - they are the complete opposite.

Shola perfected it.

He did - mainly because he relied on accuracy with a reasonable amount of pace.  Shearer - who had a pretty poor record in games when it mattered - was of the ‘put your laces through it’ school.

Penalties are about nerves/composure first, technique second. It's why you can see in some players' faces they've already missed before starting the run-up.
