Well struck penalty which forced a good save from Schmeichel - incredibly unlucky that that was saved.
So you don't think a pro goal keeper should be able to save a penalty?
good penalties are scored.
Bollocks they are if the keeper makes an even better save.
Nope.

No
Zamora took 10 along the deck & missed 5, he then took 15 odd into the top half of the goal & in the corners like Le Tissier, and also like LT scored the lot. Keepers don't save 4-8 feet off the ground pens
Just seen the penalty on seagulls player, much better view - A F@@KING DREADFUL penatly..

Get off Ashley's back everyone. At least he got a shot away and it was on target.
I was half expecting him to fall to the floor with his arms up in the air, looking at the ref for a free kick during his run up

We won the 'race' on the side the kick wasn't taken & Leicester won on the side it was saved...great communication from Barnes to team mates

So if the goalkeeper guesses the right way that means it's the penalty takers fault?
Your statement is ridiculous at best.

I find your statement ridiculous as well.
A) Goalkeepers no longer "Guess" the way to dive. We've moved on a bit from those days.
and b) Penatiles should be scored regardless what way the keeper dives, otherwise surely 50% of all penalties would be justifyably saved wouldn't they.
Your 12 yards out. THe keeper is standing in the middle of the goal. They should be scored at least 9 times out of ten.
He wont guess top left/right will he?

But what is the factor which leaves you short of saying 10 out of 10? Thats my point. Saying the player should NEVER have one saved is bonkers.
Point A) By 'guess' I clearly meant go the right way, whether it be guess or through research or through reading the angle of the run up.
On the second point there are more than 2 possible destinations for the ball to aim at, which is why it's not 50/50. I would say you can rougly break the goal into 5 areas. Bottom/top right/left and centre.
The belief that a penalty should never be missed is bonkers. Even if fired top corner there is still the chance the keeper can go there. The greatest player in the world will miss if the keeper has gone the correct way. It doesn't matter how good you are.
Of course, there have been the examples of players never missing, but they wern't all top corner thunderbolts. It would only have taken a keeper to have gone the right way ONCE for Le Tissier or Gary Alexander or Rickie Lambert's records to read 'penalty missed'

Why wont he? If he has watched someone continuously do it (as you suggest they should) then he may well!
1:10 in, take 10 like that in either corner and I reckon you would be ok:
