How to take a penalty

Were you on a fair few thousand pounds a week?

Not sure what money has to do with it, other than show your lack of understanding of playing football. Players from both teams get paid, each team trying to beat the other, just because you get paid well for it, doesn’t mean you aren’t going to miss a penalty or give away a goal.

Hang on, someone posted that he missed a penalty in what read like a Sunday league game and compared it to Waghorns misses.

Im not here to slate MW.  Questioned his penalty duty. My post was the fact that these are professionals on more money than the people that run the country. I didn’t think it was a fair comparison that is all. 

I understand money isn’t every factor but it does come into criticism of performance. And  what do you know about my understanding of football?  Did I play? If I did what level? Do I coach? What level? Don’t assume people don’t understand football because you don’t agree with a post, or part of a post.

Smash it as hard as duck that’s what I did. I never missed.

I didn’t at any point compare his miss to Sunday football, for me it was a poor penalty, however my point was that no matter what level you play at, no amount of practice can prepare you for a match scenario.

Why does money have to come into the equation ? Just because you get paid several thousand means you have to score every pen ?Just seems  a strange stick to beat someone with, pogdba gets paid probably 10 times what Waghorn does, he also has missed a couple lately. 

[Ruud Aralliss]

Ok 

read posts properly. I never said YOU made the comparison just that I was responding to another post that did

I never said that being on loads of money ensures you don’t make a mistake, only that you will be judged on performance more than a Sunday league player. 

Now do I qualify to understand football as much as you? 

An expert obviously

The point is waghorns pens have become so predictable now that there is just as much chance that the keeper will save it as it going in. He goes left, right or down the middle no height on it whatsoever. The keeper just needs to get to the ground and go the right way, then it is saved. It's too predictable and easy for the keeper. He's now taken 4 penalties this season. He's missed 2. That conversion rate isn't good enough. Needs to start changing where and how he is placing them or someone else needs to take it.

I definitely don’t understand certain aspects of football, as I said in my original post, so yes probably ?

I dont like the same penalty taker taking a second penalty in a game. Think it should always be a different taker

[rynny]

I find it funny the people saying he should have gone the same way as the first, and I'm sure those people would be saying that you should never go the same way if Waghorn had gone the same way and it was saved. 

His 2nd penalty was right in the corner, it was just a really good save (which he was way off his line for and should have been retaken). 

Why does a saved penalty mean it was a poor penalty? 

[nottingram]

Precisely this. The second penalty was better than the first - just a brilliant save which does just sometimes happen. 

Loads of people posting on a forum questioning the technique of a professional footballer, you have to laugh. Waghorn will be taker because in training he scores more than anyone else. Don’t think Cocu is giving them to someone who can’t take them for a laugh 

Edit: was meant to quote @rynny

[Sexydadbod]

He probably should have gone down the middle for the second penalty. As @SaintRam rightly pointed out previously, more likely than not, keepers will dive because if they stay still they will get criticised for not diving. I’d argue there was next to no chance Johnstone would have stayed his ground and stood still for the second penalty because he would have wanted to make up for Waghorn scoring his first penalty. If Johnstone had stayed still after Waghorn scored his first penalty , he’d have gotten a lot of criticism and Johnstone would have known that. 

[Bad Sheep]

It was a decent save but the odds of that happening are increased because of the predictability of Waghorn’s penalties. He either needs to vary them more or ideally stick it in the top corner where they’re unsaveable.

the good thing now is that wherever he goes - park, pub, petrol station - kind and helpful people will all be telling him exactly how to take one, and even demonstrating it for him. 

My advice when i see him will be to tell him to pretend he is german. Walk like a german, think like a german, and shout this at the keeper during the run up:  "Ich esse wurst und sauerkraut, du Schweinehund!"

Never fails.

This is true mate but you can't argue with the facts. He's taken 4 penalties and scored 2. Keepers know what he's going to do.

[nfb]

My 2 penneth, it was a decent penalty, well stuck, going in the corner... great save, my thoughts on some of the posts in this thread, we can all be wise with hindsight. End of.

PS. Watch on u tube...their penalty was hit in same way, exactly the same place, their keeper guessed right ours guessed wrong, so does that make it Roos fault ?

I think this is the conclusion of the thread for me..

Firstly, you should never miss a penalty, It is such a simple basic task, pass the ball without hitting a person into a huge goal....BUT so many people, who do this for a living actually DO miss them...

secondly, goalkeepers never ever get any blame at all for not saving a penalty, they are on a no lose situation. The only time I heard any criticism was for Shilts in 1990 where he looked like my grandad trying to get to the penalties. 

Keeers should always just stand in the middle of the goal, they would save more than they ever would if they dived and wouldn’t be blamed if they didn’t. 

[Ramarena]

This should no longer be a problem as this thread has unearthed a vast array of penalty taking talent that’s obviously got high success levels at the top levels of the game on this forum.

The club just needs to draft a couple in as dead ball coaches and we’ll have a 100% record for the rest of the season.

its that simple afterall!
