Pelle Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Super KP. Although Barry has done well I'm always a bit uneasy about left footers taking pens. Funnily enough I somehow have to agree with you on the left foot. Don't know why. I just feel the same. Anyway I still stick to Barry. He should take them until he misses one. In a "real" game. I saw his miss against GAIS in the pre-season and it wasn't good, but in the league he's stuffed them well and untill he misses he shall take them IMO. Then it can be KP after himn. Or Nobby. Or Baros. Not JPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Gareth Barry bangs them in with great aplomb, usually right into the side or the roof of the net. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm not sure Angel would get his shot off, even in the penalty box with no other players around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drat01 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 aplomb? what sort of bloody word is that? Far too much lah-di-dah coming from you these days :-) p.s. Risso the anti JPA jibes mate, reminissent of certain other posters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancsVillan Posted August 24, 2005 Moderator Share Posted August 24, 2005 A striker should always take it to get the rates up every team I played in a defender took them, never missed a competitive one either ;-) Barry looked good so if it ain't broke why fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a matter of time till the job was taken off him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drat01 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 amazing the anti-JPA bashing continues, I suppose if he scores on Saturday you will be cheering like the rest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drat01 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Isnt it funny, and probably OT for this thread, but people are saying if Baros scores 10 this year then they will be happy. Angel scores 9 last year and all of a sudden he's shit. Amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 bloody hell I couldn't care less how well a pen is hit so long as it goes in exactly, there really is no excuse for not scoring a penalty at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 bloody hell I couldn't care less how well a pen is hit so long as it goes in Yes but even the poorly hit ones will go in if the keeper goes the wrong way, but when he guess's the right way he's got a better chance of saving them. If ever you get the chance to see some of Angel's successful pens you'll see what i mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drat01 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 except when a goalie saves it. Tommy's pretty good at that (and a few others are .....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not anti-JPA bashing from me drat, it's called constructive criticism. I've never liked his penalty taking from day one. He hit the ball far too weakly and far too close to the keeper for me, and it was only a matter of time before he cost us and the job was taken off him. I'm a fan of Angel, but even the biggest Angel fan should admit that he was very poor last season, and he has got to improve this season or he'll be out the door. I'm wondering if the likes of Barry or Samuel would get the same sort of defending on here if they had seasons as bad as Angel did last year. I doubt it somehow.

lexicon Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 if its an exceptional save yeah, but some pens are just struck so well no keeper could stop it in its tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahamaad Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Juan has been a prolific goalscorer in two different leagues. When he started hitting the back of the net it wasn't until the 4th or 5th game of DOL's first season. And when he does score, I hope his critics eat humble pie. As for penalty taking, I can name several great strikers who have been shit at pens: Berkamp, Baggio and Zola come to mind, I am sure other people can come up with other names.
