Not in my chair in front of the stream, no. I was sweating waiting for the one against Man U to be taken.

I’d say more for Manure …. the stakes of making Europe, winning at that stage was important, plus in the final seconds.
What was special about Pedro this evening was that he’s able to shut out home fan noise and stuff behind the goal, as well as all the cheating - scuffing the pen spot, goalie attempted mind games, huge delay, encroachment.

Irrespective of his penalties he looks like a player with energy that will make things happen. He is not a natural goal scorer but has a great work ethic.

Impressive player.
Would not have blamed him if he'd scuffed the pen.
I couldn't watch, and I was at home watching on the telly.
He was as cool as the proverbial.
Looks to be a top, top, top, top, top player.

Or might have just given the ball away all night with a load of shit flicks that don't come off. He was awful Vs AEK despite scoring two pens.

Apart from his two goals, I thought that was his worst performance for us.

Hint. I get updates from Flashscore who were 90 seconds ahead of the tv. I knew we‘d scored so could watch the penalty and enjoy it.

I only had the radio commentary. It was evident that the pressure and noise level as he lined up his penalty was intense…
He kept cool , controlled his emotions and scored! To do so in such conditions is top class… Give the man a medal …

Mac was obviously a great penalty taker for us. But, as someone who only ever sees our games on telly (I live overseas), whenever the camera would zoom in on his face before the kick, I'd look at him and feel worried. He'd then score, but I'd be watching through my fingers because I felt like I could see the pressure in his demeanour.
When Joao Pedro steps up, I see his face and think "he knows he's going to score this".
None of which tells us anything important really, but Joao Pedro's calmness in these situations is insane.

I have no idea how he kept his composure. The level of noise was something I’ve never experienced as in you couldn’t hear the person next to you. Plus the scuffed penalty spot.
My heart rate according to my watch went right up to 160 and I was only watching.

Looks capable of making things happen whenever he gets the ball
More tops than a Motown quartet.

He’s growing on me. Cut out those flicks and I think he could be one for the future.

I think he's going to keep developing and improving all the time, he looks like a really promising player and I'm sure we're going to bank a huge profit on him before too much longer.
Watching at home - when we won the pen my Dad asked who would be taking it. I said "Joao Pedro will take it and he will score".
I liked him from day one, but I'm starting to love him.
