fightoffyour Posted February 27, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 27, 2022 Man I love football. That was a great match and an absolutely hilarious end, totally deserved conclusion following the sub. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the same slating his penalty in the shootout yet said nothing about Jorginho’s skip penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) Bringing on Kepa made no sense. All he was doing was picking a side and diving to it. Why is that deemed better than Mendy picking a side and diving towards it? If Kepa’s tactic was waiting for the ball to be kicked, then reacting and trying to get it then fair enough, but he was just randomly diving to a side. This is elite level football and they make such amateurish decisions. Edited February 28, 2022 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was mind games for the Liverpool players rather than Chelsea, the problem is they're all too experienced / good to get jittery just because the penalty specialist came on I think apart from the CB who went about 9th he never got near any of them Also thought werner going about 8th for Chelsea spoke volumes about where he is right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He conceded 11 in a row. Its like being a specialist at heads or tails, or rock, paper scissors. He’s just had a good run.

It puts much more pressure on the taker to hit it hard and into the corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 You could see he was going to miss all day long too. Hands on hips waiting to take it, no conviction in the run up, no surprise he ballooned it over. £75M keeper showed up by the academy graduate from Liverpool. Given Chelski’s ownership I was happy to see them lose yesterday, even though I also despise Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Rule 1 of taking a penalty, hit the target. You’ve probably got about 90% chance of scoring if you just hit the target. Just roll it down the middle of your legs are jelly and heart is racing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
