You might be on to something there. Perhaps the calming pink gives the opposition keeper an advantage
Yep step up Mo Leitner. He could just pass it into the net, though not sure if he'll be looking forward to scoring again...
Was it Leitner who tried to take the ball from Pukki? The commentator said someone wanted the ball. At the time I thought it was great that Teemu had the confidence to take the pen. Didn't work out so well.
Not sure but sounds like he's up for the next one. Back at the home win against Wigan, Pukki gave the ball to Vrancic when he wasn't "feeling it" that day. Proper team player. I'd have put money on him getting it against Millwall tho.
JM is injured, so hasn’t joined the England squad. I don’t remember him ever failing to score from 12 yards. How about asking him to pop back next week when the team returns from Tampa to give some coaching???
OP corrected. Failing getting JM back to give some COACHING, they could all sit down and watch his technique(s), which from memory was quite varied. Unlike Pogba, who's run up took longer than Usain Bolt takes to run 100M!!!
The keeper shifts the weight one way on his jump. Just stay still and wait for him to kick it. With that run up and jump, he's never going to get power on it. It will always be a tuck to a side. Holding your nerve and make him pick a side. Then react to the slowly swept shot. Strange that all of those keepers shift the weight to one side as he jumps and gives him half the goal to pass it in to. Very interesting video though. Not seen anything like that before.
I heard around World Cup time that down the middle is statistically the best place to shoot your penalty.
When I was a keeper I always waited for the kick to be taken. In my season with Met Police, I faced eight penalties and saved five of them.
