We're 4-0 up against Everton you stingy bastard * *if we don't go on to win this comfortably I reserve the right to withdraw this comment
Isn't Sturridge our second choice penalty taker? Thought I remembered him taking one for us in the past?
Never understand that. hope BR gives Gerrard a bollocking at FT for that. We have a set penalty taker for a reason... because he's the best penalty taker. Don't go passing it around for sentimental reasons.
He took one against Swansea. Gerrard had already scored one and I think everyone felt he deserved a chance to score from the spot after his performance that day.
It was a modern day one where the player deliberates doesn't try and hurdle the keeper so allows them to make contact by "leaving their leg there". It's a pen and it's stupid from the keeper because he doesn't need to come rushing out and he's forcing the ref into making a decision, much like Guzan did when he clipped Suarez.
