Always rated him. No credit to Solskjaer. Its like Smith all over when Grealish returned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I wonder how Neville and Souness are going to contrive to blame Pogba for 2 penalty misses by 2 different players this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could understand if that was their argument but they were going on about the designated taker and how he was disrupting the harmony by taking the pen instead of Rashfotd etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I find it weird to not have a designated PK taker. I think it adds unnecessary confusion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Didn't Arsenal have a thing back in their glory days when the player fouled would never take the penalty. Can remember loads of times Henry passed up the penalty because he got taken down and Pires or someone else would take it. If you start with 3-4 attacking players as most teams do nowadays any of them should be capable of taking a penalty. Think back to us under MON, Young, Carew, Milner, Downing could all take them.

I think in the Arsenal case maybe they thought as they probably dived to win the pen their conscience might get the better of them so best to let another player take it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to remember him missing a few. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Carew's "I will kick this ball harder than anything has been kicked before" technique was one I loved. He missed one I think, but for a guy who was what 6ft 7? He kicked the ball so hard both his feet left the ground Had a keeper got a hand to one, I'm confident the ball would still have hit the net, but with a detached hand melted onto it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony is Man Utd fans for years have been slamming Man City fans, calling the club soulless. Well. "Saudis in" is trending on Twitter now. Man Utd fans can't wait to jump on this new bandwagon. Football fans really are a bunch of hypocrites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
