Can he be our new penalty taker?

Yeah. Someone suggested Luiz be the new penalty taker on the basis of he is South American so by that logic, I don't see why not.

There seems a flaw in that logic somewhere.

its about, can he score them, not where does he come from.

Wesley has played for Brazil, and gets joked about in some quarters.

Unpopular opinion: He should’ve claimed the corner for the first goal. I love the guy, but if we’re being honest about all the performances, then this should be pointed out as well. 

I think he is impeded by Antonio there. I think he should have gone for it and gone down. But Antonio is a brick wall and I don't think martinez has a clear path to claim the ball there. Why is there not a defender on Antonio keeping him off the keeper. That is basic footballing though. You stand in between the striker and the keeper so your keeper can get a clear run to claim the cross.

Agreed but with the proviso that a defender should've also protected him from being blocked by Antonio.

I haven't seen any that glaringly stand out as should have been saved by the keeper......but I do think the defence has lowered his expectation of clean sheets.

Clean sheets clearly give any keeper confidence and that little extra spring.
