[Albion] Why not bring on Steele for the shout out?

[trueblue]

Steele might have a decent record but Sanchez had a fine game and fills the goal far more. It would be odd to favour a smaller keeper in a shootout. All good penalties so I doubt Steele would have fared any better. Just a shame the one Sanchez got his hand on was so firmly struck.

Having a penalty saved is one thing, missing a target that f***ing big is something else !

Indeed, pressure seems to play a big role in penalty shoot-out success. Research shows that if a player takes a penalty during normal time, they score on average 85% of the time. However during a penalty shootout, players know that their penalty may decide the outcome of the match. This increased pressure and stress results in the conversion rate of penalties taken during a penalty shoot dropping to 76%.

The Psychology of Perfect Penalties

Can research from sport psychology teach you how to never miss a football penalty again?

I would have brought Steele on, regardless of potentially looking like a numpty, and ‘yes’ it is clutching at straws…..

 

[Perfidious Albion]

What did he actually do that was to far ?

Did Sanchez or Maupay deserve to be kicked in the back up at Selhurst Park last season ?

Both sides know their role in it but fans can’t be running on the pitch or on top of advertising boards to punch or kick players

Oh yes get in there. Liverpool tried to kick us off the park but we hung in there and what a finish from Mitoma. Just brilliant

The church needs to sort its act out. Like your other post saying they are retired elsewhere, to me this makes the head of the church, God in fact, culpable.

I have o

No.

Having a penalty saved is one thing, missing a target that f***ing big is something else !

It looks easy from the sofa, but I know that the best of players do it.. if any coach knew how to get them to always be on target he would do so.
Sanchez actually had a good game . To take him off would have been wrong . Would Steele be better , coming on cold ? I doubt it.
A positive I took from it…. At least we scored 5 penalties! Do you remember when we could never score a penalty. We have come on.

Hey, where did all that stuff come from. . ? I only meant to use the quote from this thread. Sorry

The best chance of success would have been bringing on Steele.

Total guesswork.

Penalties -- football's equivalent of a coin toss.

In hindsight I think I’d have preferred a coin toss

Amazing how fans can turn, we were in Club Wembley, in what’s classed as a no club colours neutral bit, the banter with various United fans around us was light hearted throughout, until the winning pen went in, the bloke in front of us clearly with his son and his grandchildren, starting waving goodbye really patronising, clearly at nearly 60 and not having had a fight since 1978, which I lost, it didn’t cross my mind to hit him, but he behaved like a ****, and before you ask I don’t think I’d have done that to him if the tables were turned especially with his grandson with him.

I too was in favour of bringing on Steele for the penalty shootout. Fact is he has a good record at these things. Sanchez has a poor record at saving penalties. The truth is I fecking hate penalty shootouts and would have said the same thing if we had won. There must be a better alternative.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Would have been very disrespectful to Sanchez and he had no chance with any of the 7 penalties. You have to hand it to Man United, all 7 penalties were textbook

 

[studio150]

Chelsea did the equivalent …. and lost.

Didn't the keeper subbed in, fail to save a single penalty and also miss the one he took.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Changing your keeper for a penalty shoot out might (or might not) increase your chances by 1 or 2%, but it's toxic to team spirit.

RDZ was right to stick to Sanchez.

Incidentally, how many times has someone missed a pen against us since we've been in the PL? I mean actually miss the target as opposed to having one saved? I don't remember it ever happening in normal time, though i'm sure it must have done. We've barely saved any either in the last 5 years either

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

I said the same prior to the shootout.

Everyone knows Sanchez penalty saving record is abysmal, so nothing to lose.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Neither keeper saved a penalty.

 

[Luke93]

Don’t agree with swapping keepers just for a shoot out. Sanchez was also on the back of a very good game.

[Soul Finger]

Why not bring on Steele for the shoot out?

I’m disappointed De Zerbi didn’t have the balls to change Sanchez for Steele in extra time.

Steele had a great record stopping penalties, I don’t think Sanchez has ever saved one, so why not make the obvious swap?

Excellent work Captain Hindsight.

 

[Bodian]

A positive I took from it…. At least we scored 5 penalties!

Six

 

[albionalex]

What is Steele's record in shootouts like? People saying he has a good one?

 

[Flagship]

Sanchez just doesn't seem to have any strategy for saving penalties.
