Is Tomer HEMED our best EVER penalty taker?

[Dorset Seagull]

Murray is very good too. He's taken quite a few this season. Don't think he's missed one. The fact Hemed won the penalty maybe decided who would take it.

CH said after the game Hemed was the designated penalty taker

His record is great and he oozes confidence, but looking at the highlights his penno today wasn't great. Could easily have been saved.

Not complaining though. As long as they're on target and they're going in, long may they continue

I don't think it would have been saved. He noticed the keeper moving slightly to his left and redirected his shot at the last fraction. The keepers weight was on the wrong foot and he couldn't get back.

David Lopez. Top corner, every time.

Indeed. Best I've seen since late 80s.

Used to hate Hemed's technique as assumed it was almost 50/50 if the keeper guesses right way he saves it - then I realised what he actually does. Huge bottle to do it.

What he is good at, and if you look at Everests video of all the goals of 2016, he doesn't actually have a spot to put it. So no matter how much a keeper works on his pens they really haven't got a clue which is his favoured spot.

Exactly the technique of a confident penalty taker. At the end of the day confidence will score the majority of penalties

 

[HantsSeagull]

I never felt confident when Hemed stepped up to the spot last season. And I still don't now. He never seems to hit the ball with any conviction and if the keeper goes the right way, it would be an easy save.

That said, his record speaks for itself. He's very good at winning the psychological battle with the keeper.

very much this BUT Hemed hesitates and watches which way the keeper is going before he strikes the ball.

 

[GloryDays]

So he missed one.

He's a brilliant penalty taker. Never have I felt more confident than when he's taking them.

Let's just hope no keeper dives right.

Sorry but have no confidence . However full credit to him. what he does works. Keeper today, as he didnt move, must have gambled on him dinking it down middle as he dived right or left.
For my nerves prefer Murray method of hitting it harder. If keeper gets hand to it still likely to go in,

If the keeper dives, book him!!

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

Leon Knight he's alright - with his Eric Cantona-esque penalty kicks.

 

[warmleyseagull]

Sooner or later, a keeper will wise up and stand until ball is about to be struck, then Hemed is is trouble as his placing relies entirely on keeper moving before he strikes. Wouldn't mind seeing a video of the one he missed at Wolves last season to see what keeper did.

Good point. Especially if they're trying to hand ball it.

Just out of interest what does Tomer have to do to generate confidence.
According to this he has a career record of:-

Taken 20
Scored 19
Missed 1

I am confident in him, I just think Nobby Horton was better.

That is an amazing conversion - I defy any player in the football league to have a better record than that - even Beckham at his best, missed the odd one.

No apology necessary, you don't have to have confidence.

Keeper today, as he didnt move, must have gambled on him dinking it down middle as he dived right or left.

I got the feeling the keeper was ready to dive to his left, then collapsed as the ball was struck to his right.

For my nerves prefer Murray method of hitting it harder. If keeper gets hand to it still likely to go in,

When Hemed steps up I feel that we've got as good a chance of scoring as we've ever had. Can't ask for more really.

Sooner or later, a keeper will wise up and stand until ball is about to be struck

What, like today? How did that work out?

He cost us promotion and hasn't even apologised!

Selective editing - read all my post. Clearly didn't work today, that's the point.

Eh? It wasn't selective editing (I just took the relevant bit) - here's you're whole quote:

How is your point that it clearly didn't work today? You've simply said that a keeper will wise up and then Hemed is in trouble. A keep did what you said, and Hemed wasn't in trouble. I don't understand your point.
