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

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?

Sanchez saved one earlier this season. Of course it was parried right out to the feet of the taker to slot in the goal at the second attempt, but he saved the penalty!

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Sanchez did well to get close to even one of those pens. I think you are clutching at straws.

 

[Solid at the back]

Haven't we lost our two roevious shootouts with Steele in goal?

Also recall Sanchez saving a pen maybe this season where rebound was tucked away.

 

[super-seagulls]

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

 

[Weststander]

Chelsea did the equivalent …. and lost.

 

[RexCathedra]

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

 

[tigertim68]

their keeper tried to intimidate our penalty takers
sanchez did not say a thing to their penalty takers no Intimidation at all
missed a trick

 

[Krafty]

Sanchez did play well in those 120 minutes, making a few big saves, so perhaps De Zerbi assumed that with a growing confidence he may save one or two penalties?

 

[GT49er]

I did think - and suggested it - at the tme that it might have been an idea to bring Steele on for the penalties - he has got a bit of a reputation for saving them - but I don't think he'd have saved any of those today, and probably wouldn't even have got a hand to the one that Sanchez almost stopped.

This! And you look a right bunch of numpties if you change the keeper and he doesn’t save any or makes a mistake.

 

[LamieRobertson]

RDZ not having the balls….OP talking out of his arse

 

[Justice]

Any keeper would of struggled to save the first 12 of those pens all excellent.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Strange but true.

On paper yes. On grass no. I think despite I rate Steele far more he isnt in the game frame of mind. He hasnt moved his body and really warmed up. Was right call to keep Sanchez on. Remember subs have to be on before the final whistle. Steele on in final couple mins wouldve been a high risk. He wouldnt have mentally been up to the speed of the game.

Give it a rest.

De Gea didn't save any penalties today.

It is what it is

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Strange but true.

Burn him!

Oh, hang on.

No, don't burn him. That would be childish.

 

[Mr Banana]

This was worth a go. We’d have more chance with someone picked out of the crowd in goal for penalties. Before the game, it felt like a case of who would make fewer mistakes between Sanchez and De Gea. They both have appalling records on penalties, so it was obvious during extra time that a shootout would rely on players missing. It’s bizarre for two great shot-stoppers

 

[OzMike]

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

If only someone at the club was good at working out the chances of stuff.
