22A Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Historical link; Mike Gibson saved a penalty on his debut and helped City to promotion. Ray Cashley saved a penalty on his debut and helped us to promotion. Now Ivan Lucic has saved a penalty on his debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a fairly common practice for keepers to stand slightly off centre in the hope of improving their guess-rate as to where the player will put it, but I've never seen it so exaggerated as Lucic. 19 hours ago, JamesBCFC said: was stood much nearer the left post than the middle, leaving the right hand side unprotected. then once the run up was started moved central to save the penalty heading to the previously empty right side of the goal Back in the day the keeper wasn't allowed to move before the ball was kicked, let alone move along the line. Good tactic, anything to break the penalty takers routine it thought processes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Simple but effective double bluff. keeper shows the space, striker try's to make keeper think he'll go opposite direction yet shoots for the space anyway, playing right into keepers hands. having to work all that out as you're taking the penalty will certainly be off putting as you need to be assured and confident to take a good pen. wonder if he learnt that of Neuer?...
