Honestly don't have any confidence in any of our players taking a good pen out of, ironically, Pickford. Beto did look like he was soiling his kecks though.

 

[bag a yoko]

I would have liked to have seen Onana given that pen.

We’re littered with poor footballers who struggle with the basics of football what hope do we honestly have regardless of manager

 

[Melchizedek]

Easy to after time
But a player who isn't a starter shouldn't be taking a crucial pen.
That's on the manager

Agree. Although I'm not really sure who I would put down as our most trusted penalty taker. Keane if he was on the pitch probably.

 

[Benno]

Players can miss penalties, however, I think we were all probably surprised when Beto picked up the ball to take it.

 

[SLAVEN BILIC]

Cursed!! Finally get a pen and that’s how we convert it.

 

[LiamMadrid]

At least Beto hit the target, it was a good save in fairness

 

[lungo]

honestly these strikers are terrible

Chermiti should play every time of the week. At least he looks like he could play football. Send beto back to angola.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Oh god, the Beto thread will be ablaze

 

[carolinablue232]

Why are people surprised a striker is taking a penalty ?

Because he’s not a very good finisher.

 

[Tommy Chong]

Looks more comfortable behind a deep fryer at KFC then he does behind a ball, FFS!

Send him back to the Colonel!

I'm still trying to get my head around Beto being allowed to take the pen, nothing about him screams peno taker, absolutely nothing.

My expectations were that low i'd have been happier if he'd just ran up and toe poked it as hard as possible down the middle.

Garner, McNeil, Harrsion any of them who have a bit of technique when striking a ball i'd have at least had a bit of hope.

Him and Calvert lewin couldn't score in a monkey whorehouse with a bunch of bananas each.

Can honestly say I’ve not had that version of the phrase before and would probs park it given the ethnicity of the two involved tbh

It was a very weak penalty
