Seems you are back from the oceans, how was your trip?

handelex:
When you don't fight and punish it, you encourage such disgusting behavior. The government can and must do better about it. Yes the society is full of bellends no doubt, but those bellends need to understand they can't keep getting away with such vile and disgusting offenses.

See, no matter how hard they try, social media racism will still exist, what do you do to trolls ?, You ignore them like they don't exist. Social media companies have done some algorithms to detect words that are racially abusive to effect account ban when necessary but then again, I can have 50 Twitter accounts for all I care.

Not on about physical racism abuse though.

GloryIsaac:
I disagree.

Racism, as every other evil vice needs to be tackled head-on. It can’t be eradicated but it can be significantly reduced.

The benefits we enjoy today in the Western world are as a result of the sweat of those who have gone before us.

Whatever means they used, be it protests, academic excellence etc. should keep being enforced to ensure that racism is subdued.

I am been particular on the ones we see on social media, it can't be stopped maybe reduced slightly but it can't be stopped.

Some of them conducting this racial abuse aren't even racist sef, when I know this is what gets to you, I do it when it the only way I can get back at you.

Poorly taken penalties.

Why didn’t he save all the 5 penalties then?

Which GK coach note could save Maguire’s penalty?

Stop believing in this drivel about coach notes. 90% of players change their mind in the run up before kicking the ball. It all depends on the GK’s posture and mind games.

He saved 2, which would have bn enough to win the Europa League.

Statistically, out of 5 PKs, only 1 or 2 player(s) aim at top corners.

3 left to be saved.

10 excellent penalties. Go and watch them again. Even their GK’s pen is better than anything Italy offered in the final. They were hooking it in the top bins.

Pickford wouldn’t have saved any in Europa final and United would have certainly lost the 2nd leg against Roma if Pickford or Henderson was in goal.

In other words, the GK coach note is unreliable.

Mourinho has been managing for almost 20 years now. He was telling us the only player he knows that is consistent and trains every time to pick a particular spot in penalties is Harry Kane. He said others change their minds in the run up.

And when you look at the previous shots taken by penalty takers, you see their shots scattered all over the net. There has never been a penalty taker that concentrates on one spot. Therefore, even the GK coach note is a guess at best. It’s not set in stone.

I wanted to raise a point about those penalties. Most top players dont have a specific way of playing penalties. for example, Most of us have seen Ronaldo take penalties, Can you tell his favourite way?

Its always better IMO to follow the ball. Look at Martinez vs Colombia even Donnaruma it was only Rashford that sold him

If you follow the ball, Only a well taken hard shot can really be guaranteed to score, Follow the ball and you are almost guaranteed to catch any panenka, any slow shot, any shot 6ft to each side of you, Basically if you are not blasting your shot or picking extreme angle you are not scoring. Picking extreme angles can also end up like Rashfords
That type of Magure penalty where nothing you do even if you stay in that corner you wont catch it

iamoyindamola:
They changed his name
Never knew he's Nigerian from adetokunbo to antetokunpko

Loool yup....They made it more Greek sounding when He was getting His Greek Citizenship. There letters "d" and "b" sound like "nt" and "pk" in the Greek alphabet plus they both don't exist in the Greek alphabet.

Where is Bruno that they said deserves the Balon D’or?

He enter tournament for men, he disappear as usual.

weedtaker:
As in.. They will be shouts of him being the GOAT manager and all that.

And I don't want de bruyne near that Balon d'or, that one is for Bruno.

Watch these penalties again, without the guess dive Pickford will save Bernardeschi, Also most of the Jorginho penalties would be saved because with that stutter step, he cannot gather enough power in the shot like Maguire so his penalties will be weak and he has to place it at a corner to have a chance

Most players don't take PK all the time.

A player who isn't a PK regular would most likely shoot at the same spot where he scored his last penalty especially when the penalty is important and there is a lot of tension.

Rashford overcooked his penalty - he was so unlucky to have missed it. What he did to Donnarumma was filthy. The hip deception was heavenly.

You are absolutely spot on with top players not having a constant method of taking their penalties. They change it cos they have a variety of options in their ammo to take one.

This is Fernandes’ shot map on penalties. What will a GK coach note say about this? Dive left or right?

Mention any player, I am sure we can search for their penalty kick maps and you will see that there is no typical way a kick is taken

So a player who has taken just 2 or 3 penalties, what data are you looking for

On Rashford’s missed penalty……
In the screenshot below, taken right before impact with the ball, you can see that Rashford’s planted foot (his left foot) and his hips are pointed to the right side of the goal.

Normally the goalkeeper tries to wait for the plant foot to hit the ground before making their own move, because the striker’s planted foot and hips generally dictate the direction of the shot. This is one of the clues that can help turn the odds in the goalkeeper’s favour to make a save.

And while each player has different signs as to the direction of their kick as they approach the ball, the indications here were quite strong that Rashford would be shooting to the right side of the goal.

It wasn’t until the final moment when Rashford tried to whip his hips around to pull the ball across his body and into the bottom left corner. The difficulty level for this technique is 10 out of 10.

Donnarumma got sold completely.

So why didn’t Unai Simon save any of the penalties taken by United’s outfield players?

He didn’t read his GK’s coach note?

You are just waffling at this point. No GK coach note can ascertain where a taker would put the ball.

Bukayo Saka has never taken penalty for Arsenal or England. So what did Donnarumma’s coach note say?

Football isn’t exactly science. Penalty takers put the ball left, right, middle, top bins, etc. It’s as the spirit leads.

He saved Belloti's PK with the guess dive.

The guess dive is more reliable when facing players that rely on power.

When you are trying to sell the keeper bad and leave him no chance, the chance is that you want to pick an extreme side and that opens the window of missing or hitting the post. If it enters nothing you can do

Good point with the Fernandes penalties. I also checked other players too and none has a specific way of shooting or angle, If they do, then they are fools and anyone will stop their penalty

'It takes a player with big balls to change the direction where he normally plays his penalty kicks, especially under pressure"



"When a player is under pressure like that, with their team a goal down, the crowd behind them and needing to score, he tends to go for his comfort zone, which is his best spot."

This is hard, but I would guess dive to my extreme left.

Expert17, so what will your GK coach note say here?

As for taking penalties, I don’t think players should be too cute or overthink it. If they pick a spot and take a fierce shot, the possibility of a goalkeeper saving it even if he dives in the right direction is very slim. The ball would have breezed into the net before he makes a dive.

Rashidi Yekini has the best technique for penalties as far as I am concerned. All those hopping techniques of Bruno Fernandes and Jorginho would soon be found out. Pickford humiliated Jorginho in that shootout and that could have cost Italy the win.

See Belottis wasnt even much of a guess dive, Pickfords right foot didnt leave the spot he planted he he just bent to the left, it wasnt like Belotti picked an extreme angle like Jorginho or Rashford and its still within

Most shooters won't go to those far angles

Guys, this is easy.

Just like you stated, nothing is certain.

We work with what we have, STATISTICS

For example: If Kane plays 50 % of his penalties to the left, 15 % to the right, and 35 % straight down the middle.

With this, we would surely dive to the left
