:D What i mean is at that stage it'll be in sudden death, we'll take a poor penalty and they'll take another perfect one to end the contest.

This, plus practicing them in training builds tension and nerves. Players will wonder whether they'll be able to re-create that technique in the pressure situation. That then plays on their mind on the long walk to the spot.


Where do you come up with this drivel?

And so you aim towards the sky,

Re: Football Chat Thread - Euro 2012 edition : Mon Jun 25, 2012 6:41 pm  
Just a thought with regard to improving our pretty dreadful penalty shoot out record.....

....What about at the end of every Premier League game that ends in a draw, we have a shoot out, with the winning side gaining an extra point on top of the 1 they will already have got for the draw??

As somebody on the radio pointed out today, players like Ashley Cole will be lucky to take a half dozen normally in their career, so its little wonder they miss important attempts like last night's....The law of averages indicates at some point a player will miss a penalty, last night's was Cole's moment unfortunately - You only have to look at Stuart Pearce in 1990, who was normally deadeye accurate from a penalty or set-piece, he just happened to be unlucky enough that his big miss was in such a high profile game.

Whilst my idea is obviously outlandish and pretty unthinkable, it would serve to create this pressurised environment which most observers accept, can't be authenticated on a practice ground, and would also give players a lot more experience of taking pens in a serious game.

As club football is infinitely more important than international football, why would you cheapen the top flight of club games just to practice something that you shouldn't need anyway.

I also think that England's manner of playing for penalties, and indeed Chelsea's in the CL, doesn't need to be encouraged. In the Premier League it would kill most games. Why would the relegation threatened sides bother with any attacking if they could drag the game out to pens and win the majority of their points that way?

We shouldn't be aiming to become better penalty shoot out competitors, we should be aiming to be good enough to win competitions without having to go to pens.

Compared to what we have presently, where some of the smaller sides go to the bigger clubs and field weakened teams and simply roll over???

Beat Ukraine on their own patch.
Got good performances out of Roy of the Rovers.
Beat Sweden.
Topped our group in a tournament.
Didn't pick Rob Green.
Didn't finish second to USA.
Reached the quarter finals.
Created a better team spirit.
Talked at news conferences like he knew what he was talking about.
Didn't look lost or like he'd given up on the team.
Scored more than three goals in a major tournament.
Showed a knack for getting selections/subs right e.g. Lescott, Walcott, Carroll.
Oh and all in about the space of two months.

What did Fabio do that was so much better than Hodgson?
