  2. What a cracking night!

    Vardy ****s up, and Pix comes up with the quote of the decade!

    Would have expected Vardy and Mahrez to be shoe-ins for their pens.

    Still don't think it was entirely necessary either, change for change sake imo.

    Who's in the other two ties tomorrow?

    Vardy? Yep.

    Mahrez? Probably got about a 20% success rate. Comfortably the worst penalty taker i've seen.

    Edit; just looked. He's scored 9 and missed 7.

    That’s a ****ing terrible record for somebody who has such a wonderful shot on him.

    Not actually that uncommon for a player who scores a pen in the game itself to then miss in the penalty shoot out .... bizarrely ... that's life <ok>

    Different scenarios as well, Vardy’s usual method of power would be more suited to in the match as if the keeper gets in the way there’s a chance of the follow up. In a shootout you need players who can place it right in the corners like they were doing
