Bottler plain and simple.!!! If you get paid lots of cash as a goalscorer take a penalty. Pail Ince the self styled Guvnor was a Bottler also.
Sturridge got exactly the same **** from Liverpool fans last season, when he didn't take a penalty in the Capital One Cup final.
I don't have an issue with it. It was nothing to do with who took penalties anyway. It was down to bloody good goalkeeping by Ward.
Maybe he just didn't want to be the villain in front of the Udders fans, as that is where is made his name, and probably had his best spell with any club.
Put it this way, 20 miles east from Reading gets you to Slough, and that is not London. I know, I lived there for a bit, Slough that is.
If that is the case( seriously doubt it) then that's beyond forgivable. Hang on.... have I just been whooshed?
Just noticed a tweet about Fulham's results against the play-off finalists... Fulham 5-0 Huddersfield Fulham 5-0 Reading
He should have taken one , and is clearly a bottler , but as a fan I would rather have somebody confident stepping up to take them
