Looked like he was rushing it and didn't use his normal technique
Is Tomer HEMED our best EVER penalty taker?

Because he knew it didn't really matter, or was conscious there was only a few seconds left?

I prefer a player that just wellies it. preferably into a corner, so it is Murray for me.

Was an accident waiting to happen, I'd have let Duffy run up from the half-way line and thwack it. It didn't matter thankfully.
Hemed's look great when they work, yesterday and Wolves (A) show how poor they can be.
Just pray he doesn't miss a vital one.

I said no originally and he has missed two now so I say no again.

IIRC Jimmy Langley was quite good but I liked Nobbv Horton.

Hemed's never going to be a penalty taker that fills me with confidence but his record does stack up fairly well.
For those wishing he'd whack it
I genuinely don't think he's got a "welly it" in his locker from the spot or open play.

I think probably because if they wanted an equaliser he had to be quick about it. He definitely didn't do his usual stutter he just runs up and whacks it.

It does matter,would have reduced the goal difference by one, have you forgotten last Season?
Also he would want to increase his goal tally.
I have never been convinced by his penalties and thought that it will only need a goalie to guess correctly to save it. Always looks good when just stroked home, but give me the blast it every time.

Surely that is not the attitude we need as a goal scored and the ref could have added another minute or so and we scored a 2nd virtually from the kick off a la SIDWELL. Unless of course the ref told him he was allowing him the time to take the penalty
More the second part of my sentence probably......just rushed.
Yeah, completely forgotten. [emoji849] Maybe he rushed because he was conscious there was virtually no time left ?
How does Tomer's record compare with other penalty takers in the division over the last couple of seasons ? He misses one and everyone is on the 'his penalties are shit' bandwagon.

I would think his record is quite good but I do not feel as happy when he steps up to take them as I do with Murray or did with the previous taker. ( Spanish player name alludes me)

It's a tricky one to remember that Spanish player's name: Spanish Dave.

Thats him what was his surname? Always expected him to score.

His career record now sits at 19 successful out of 21. For Albion it is 9/11. Seems good on both counts This was not his trademark pen, for whatever reason, time or flustered. As others have said, if you're going to miss, do it at 0-2 in injury time. Move on.

In fairness he picked a good penalty not to score
Gotta love NSC.
Tomer is one of, if not the best, penalty taker in Europe but because the NSC brainstrust doesn't like how he kicks the ball he must be replaced by the bloke who kicks the ball hard.
The flat earth society should trawl here for new members.
