Dobbin did as expected.

Whilst I don't rate his finishing, that was a brilliant save rather than anything being wrong with the penalty.

[Reverend]

 we've scored 2 out of the last 7 penalties. Hopeless.

Great 90 minute performance though. 

[Carl Sagan]

Radio Derby keep saying "penalties are a lottery" which is such bollox. It's an excellent test of nerve and skill. It doesn't mean we didn't do really well, but having missed 2 out of 2 in the league and 3 out out of 5 tonight, we definitely need to up our penalty technique.

But well done to the Rams for absolutely everything else tonight. Real shame not to claim the scalp.

Liverpool always get lucky in the cups, put out a weakened side and scrape past on penalties. Gutted

You have to put them in the top half of the goal

I mean they were all a good height/placement for him.

I mean I’d class Firmino’s as a bad penalty.

Can’t really be too critical (I know some already have been) but penalties are always a lottery (it’s a cliche because it’s true).  A League 1 team taking a Prem team to penalties is a positive (even a weakened prem league team).  Hopefully will give them confidence.

Think the subs still show how thin a squad we have. Going to take time to build.

I suspect there would be less criticism if we’d gone down fighting 2-0 or something. Football is odd.

Ah bugger. 

Kelleher has form for saving pens as well I think?

Didn't save any in the final last season, Chelsea scored 10 before Kepa hit it over the stand.

Those weren’t bad penalties from us. Just three world class saves from Keleher.

Any semi professional goalkeeper saves those if he dives the right way, perfect height for the GK. They were f****** terrible 

[Rev]

Disappointed to go out tonight, and the missus is a Spurs fan, not the best night in our household.

[Mihangel]

Penalties schmenalties, what an effing performance, awesome. ?

That was an abysmal penalty 

[Nishfan]

safe journey back to you all

Many a neutral would have wanted us to win for that reason.

Of our last seven pens in all competitions we've missed five.

That's mental.

Anyway, we could do without the extra matches and we didn't show ourselves up, so now we focus on the league.

Until the Torquay game!  ?

That’s were Ron Willems used to put them top right or left top corner. Best penalty taker I’ve seen at the Rams and I include Gladys and Bruce in that.  

[i-Ram]

Rosenior would have had us well prepared for penalties.

Brilliant performance all round from the Rams!

Holding the Reds in open play at Anfield.

Taking them to sudden death.

Could actually have won tonight in the lottery shootout!

So many positives and something into the coffers too.

COYR!

Paul Simpson.  Did he miss any.  Idiakez was good unless he was playing for Southampton
