Penalties

[judge]

We were poor but i suspect the amateur nature of our preperation contributed to the loss, particularly when it comes to penalties. There is a certain amount of luck involved, but steps can be taken to minimise that. Just look at the 'penalty strike rate' for the RS compared to ours.
Dyche said that everyone has their own style of penalty taking. That shouldn't be allowed. They should be coached to hit penalties firm and into the corners (preferably the top corners) - no whacking it down the middle and hoping for the best, no stuttered run-ups (which is just cheating anyway), no Panenka's. Maximise the chance of scoring. No doubt that's what the RS do. We probably just leave our lot wander off unsupervised to take a few penalties amongst themselves/lark about.

Pickford hits a good penalty, I wonder why he didn't take one.

You can practice penalties 20 hours a day, no amount of prep work can and will ever prepare players for that moment when they stand at 12 yards, with just the keeper to face, 40,000 inside the Stadium and millions watching worldwide.

Oh boo hoo. If the players can't hack it they can GTF! I'm sick of people like you defending multimillionaire professionals who are unable to do the basics.

Seriously though, you're Spot on. Plus, when you have a situation like a penalty shoot-out at the end of 90 minutes or so hard slog, most of the players are going to be knackered, maybe even a little bit emotionally drained, but still have to stay focused.

5 Of the 7 pens taken were absolutely fantastic. As good a set of pens I've seen Everton players take in years.

Gueyes pen was one of them, crap player takes crap pen shocker. Onanas was just an absolute embarrassment and one that'll be talked about for years for all the wong reasons.

His mate bet on a fulham win on pens.

We needed 5 Roy Vernon's -

Apparently, Sean Dyche has had the players practising their penalty technique all day.

Thought Gana's was okay. As far as missed penalties go.

Yeah it was alright as in he didn't balloon it over the bar like 99% of us must have been thinking.

Out of the 11 players to potentially having to take a pen last night, I'll be honest and say he was 12th on my list to take a pen.

Can't believe the ref gave 16 penalties in this match, must be some kind of record.
