[Albion] 2nd penalty

[albionalex]

I assume Gross didn't want to take it.

It was pretty damming that the only other player I would have been confident taking it was Dunk.

 

[clockend1983]

You are right . No keeper touch. Carry on, dont mind me.

The commentators couldnt work out why a freekick was given
against Welbeck.One of them said he might have been offside ffs

Surprised the ref knew the rule, bearing in mind he didn’t have a clue about the others.
I was hoping Welbeck scored the rebound and the goal given so we could enjoy the hullabaloo afterwards!

who?, up and over the bar Lallana

He’s becoming a bit annoying.
Another rallying call after the final whistle yesterday.
Yet during the game he was generally in the shadows again.

 

[joydivisionovengloves]

Gross should have taken it.

Fall off your bike ? get straight back on.

The three most experienced penalty takers on the pitch were Maupay (11 goals 2 missed), Gross (10 goals 3 missed) and Trossard (8 goals 2 missed)... all of which who had probably had some pretty ****ing dark thoughts walking up to that penalty spot. Welbeck or Lallana were probably the best options aside of those three, with their experience. And imo Welbecks penalty was better than Gross. Hitting the post or having the goalie save it is one thing but I'm allergic to hitting the bar or putting it over it.

Which of our missed penalties was better....I feel a pole coming on

 

[pornomagboy]

dunk should have taken it as captain, I think he should take them from now on

Wellbeck was probably the last player to say he didn’t fancy it, so got the job for not speaking up quicker

 

[Rowdey]

Vulture mate, you’ve done it once today and at least three times yesterday. It’s ‘have’ not ‘of’.

Grammar nazi? Yeah, clearly.

aha.. thanks for flagging that. Makes so much more sense now.

I found this absolutely astonishing. I dunno who the commentator was, but I gather the co-commentator was Lee Hendrie. For neither of them to have a clue about the laws of the game when a penalty comes back off the woodwork to the penalty taker without anyone else having had a touch was staggering ignorance. Its not THAT rare an occurrence.

They are absolutely stealing a living.

i reckon i could shout a lot from the sidelines, and be not too much when on the pitch. May i have my 5,000k now please

As for the question of who should take it, I think Gross should absolutely have got back on the horse, he's usually reliable. For him to go hiding, if thats what he did, is disappointing and only reinforces this teams mental frailty in front of goal.

I can remember Harry Kane missing a crucial penalty in front of the Kop a couple of years ago. They got another one just a few minutes later, he stepped up again, and absolutely buried it. THATS the mentality we needed.

Yeah. He is an incredibly talented baller. Even yesterday he did a lovely little run and perfect assist.
But the odd moment isn’t enough to justify the noise, or the wage.
Pipe down, Lallana.

 

[herecomesaregular]

Agree that Gross should have taken it.
Welbeck and Lallana are looking like flops imo.

 

[um bongo molongo]

Was genuinely hoping to see big Bobby Sanchez walk up. Looks the cleanest striker of the ball in the team.

 

[Milano]

The fact that Maupay wasn’t wrestling the ball off Welbeck tells me all I need to know that he has to be dropped.
He is a striker who is massively struggling in front of goal at the moment, he was until recently also our penalty taker, I would expect any top flight striker to demand the ball in that situation, a free hit from 12 yards, the best chance to get the confidence back, the fact Maupay did not demand the ball is shithouse IMO and not what we need or want from our no 9.

 

[Return of the Rev]

Adam Lallana should of taken the 2nd one

Welbs was a flop before he came here, no surprise really. Bonkers fans thought he'd actually knock on here.

 

[METALMICKY]

Only if we'd changed codes and were looking for a conversion!
