Difficult for goalies to save penalties in a shootout, obviously, but Hourihane, Jedinak and Grealish were all presumably taking them against him in training. Might be disappointed he didn't save any.

Jedinak is a legitimate great penalty taker so no shame in not getting his. Did he save any for us in the 18 months he was here?

Some keepers are just better at stopping them than others, De Gea hasn't saved a penalty since April 2016 incredibly and Cech has also been terrible at saving them since he's been at Arsenal.

He didn't, but as I mentioned in the Steer thread he's apparently saved 5 penalties this season.

Brad Friedel comes to mind as someone I've never seen save a penalty but was an excellent keeper.

Sometimes you see a shit keeper who is actually a good penalty stopper
