Our missed penalties were with stop start run ups and trying to be clever. Kane and Maguire took no nonsense pens so perhaps that’s a lesson to learn going forward. Absolutely two old school penalties. Really don’t like this fancy pants messing around with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the point of him waving his willy around taking a penalty he is likely to miss just to look confident. And why on Earth would Southgate let him? Just looked that up and his record is better than saka so why would he be swinging his Willy about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not suggesting how they take a penalty. What I would do is tell them how NOT to take a penalty i.e. with stop start run ups, a hop skip and a jump followed by a mammy pamby kick and the almost certain keeper save.

From 2016 to now we are a completely different animal. Not as free flowing or exciting to watch, perhaps. But we gets results.

Rob k Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 3 minutes ago, Harry said: Lots of people saying Grealish should be taking one. Well, it looked to me when they were in the huddle that he wanted one. Perhaps as usual, Southgate didn’t trust him. Shaw is a set piece specialist. Perhaps he should’ve stepped up as well. How about the most senior player and ex captain, Henderson. He was quick enough to grab the ball for a penalty in the recent friendly, where was he tonight!! Looking at the huddle, I’d guess Southgate had Grealish & Shaw down as sudden death takers. Big mistake. Henderson had been subbed / Southgate just saying it was his call for the penalty order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Better team won. Southgate had the stronger hand after 10 minutes, one goal up and a fresher squad.

The Batman Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 I'd never criticise a player for missing a pen in a shootout. Takes a lot of bottle to step up to be one of the first 5. I always said that the best takers should go 4th and 5th as they're most crucial. But maybe I'm just too old school now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
