Admin can decide if its worth its own thread but fuck me, you knew it wasn't going in when he was haunched down on his knees beforehand.
It goes in and 2:3 and Stoke get to chase a point. He passes it into the goalies midriff and the game ended.
Infuriatingly shit. It actually made me feel a bit sick.

Yet another player with a fantastic penalty record arrives at Stoke and turns into a clown from the spot.
If you see the replay the behind the goal, he wasn’t even looking at where the keeper was diving.

I was right behind the goal.
You knew exactly where it was going.
The keeper knew, we knew.
It was a fucking atrocious penalty.

Only his 3rd miss in 28 apparently - which is phenomenally good.
But is of absolutely no comfort.

With that technique it can go horribly wrong if the keeper wise to it , waiting for the keeper to go then stroking it into the other corner. Quite a few who do that have been caught out |

I’m sure he doesn’t give a toss about it. Still gets paid and what’s the big deal. Like too many at the club, they don’t care.

Quite a few who do that have been caught out When a player has an eye on goal in open play from twelve yards, unless you're someone like Messi, you twat it. I can't be doing with all this trotting up to the penalty spot like a fucking prancing horse and then side stepping it. |

When he’s missing pens it’s written in the stars. |

At this point where things are to the wire you don’t dick around with a penalty, put your laces through it and get it buried - that’s what he should have done.

I don’t understand why players don’t just pick a corner and rifle it in.
To take a penalty like he did which is at an ideal height for a keeper to make the save and in the area he did is criminal.

He took a shit penalty and missed. I didn’t sympathise whilst watching him stand there like that, whilst his captain and one of our only decent players, went over to the fans and took the brunt of it. |

He wants bollocking for that penalty miss, if that had gone in it would have been a totally different game and we'd have got something out of it.

I think that’s what he did and why he missed. Before he started his long run up the goalkeeper was off center to Johnson’s right. And during the run up the goalkeeper moved even closer to that side. Then Johnson hit it, and it was an easy save. If he had noticed the goalkeeper cheating to one side, adjusted, and hit it to the other side or down the middle it would have been a goal. |

Players should be yellow carded at the very least for these dickhead too toe run ups.
Anyone that misses them makes them look a bigger dickhead than they already are.

I ain’t no fan of his but what do you expect him do? If he came over to the fans clapping he’d get absolutely slaughtered on here saying he’s taking the piss. |

He's had the strange build-up to all his pens, by the looks of it.
It was the same against Swansea - and this one was 4 years ago.
And his record seems to be unusually good.
But when you miss, you're going to look stupid.

Players miss penalties. His record is good, it happens.
It’s the fact that he is utterly atrocious in everything else that he does that’s the problem.

At what point do we just throw logic out the window.
The bloke was best mate of the manager who’s just been replaced taken a penalty that will have a big influence on new managers position.
I’d have let burger or Ennis have it
