It was a terrible penalty but it's just not a big deal because anyone misses a penalty in a shoot-out and there is always a great deal of luck in it. In fact, Drogba took a very similar pen two years against Munich (which was also a terrible pen) but he was lucky enough that the keeper dived the wrong way. A missed penalty in a shoot-out is not something to criticize a player for in my book.

As for the Cech thing, what I meant is that you also need your keeper to save pens to win shoot-outs because your players can't keep scoring them forever. If Cech had saved a couple of pens then Lukaku's miss would have been irrelevant like Mata's miss in Munich. My point was that Romelu is as much responsible for the loss for being unlucky enough that the keeper guessed his pen correctly as is Cech for being unlucky not to guess three of the five pens correctly.

The theory that I'm blaming Cech to protect Lukaku doesn't really work since, just Yesterday, I was being slatted for criticizing Romelu and saying that Torres is still better.

There was no luck in Neueur knowing where the ball would go.

Just look at his long slow last step and how he arm his shot, it way to slow.

If you go slowly in your run-in, at least take smaller steps and angle yourself to being able to shoot at either direction.

I'm afraid not a lot of you will have seen the interview (let alone be able to understand a single word they say ). So here's the summary of the most important things that have been said: He's feeling

What are you on about, Didier took a penalty, Lukaku passed the ball to Neuer. The fuck did I just read...

I will criticize a player for this, because of the way he took it, not because he missed. Half of the members on this forum could have saved that shot by Lukaku.

Drogba's and Lukaku's pens were very similar in terms of pace on the ball and positioning of the shot. Yes Lukaku's run-up was probably ten-times worse (Didier didn't make a run up) but the point was had Neuer jumped the right way it would have been a similarly easy save and the pen would have been called just as bad as Lukaku's.

I never said he was the only one, but it is ridiculous for people to keep acting like he took a good penalty!

Also, Cech for not getting any of the 5 penalties? REALLY? WOW, it just proves how much overprotection Lukaku is getting...

I think he gets protected because of the seriously hostile comments he got in the first place, actually. And I think rightfully so. If someone would have called Oscar a miserable cunt that deserves to benched for a whole year for missing that sitter, he would have been defended as well - also rightfully so.

I believe we should support our young players.

Just saying, mate :-)

Do we have any information on who was the absolute retard that decided that he was to take the last penalty? I have serious doubts Jose would instruct an emotional teenager to take the last pen so I can only assume he requested it.

at least he was man enough to step up and take one.. shows his maturity at his age and determination to impress.

He's not a teenager.

Jose did. He spoked with Romelu and he pointed his finger at him and Romelu said: OK.

Does anyone agree that Cech was below average in penalties last night? Yes he kept us in the game, pulled off a few cracking saves... but how didn't he save

shaqiri's penalty?

How many apart from Lukakus lame penalty did Neuer save? Or even get ad close to as Cech did on Shaqiri's penalty

I know, but one wrong doesnt make two right!

Saying horrible things due to one single penalty isnt justifiable, but saying the penalty wasnt bad (and comparing it to Drogba's) isnt either...

It is not like Lukaku must be benched, fined, loaned or whatever. But I cant believe people arent able to realise how horrible the shot was. I mean, I bet even your son could have saved it!

A player with the future Romelu aspires to have just cant sucumble to pressure like that, it is all part of the onus their careers bring to those young stars and he will have to learn to cope with that.

All in all, I believe all he needs to have is the support of everyone, but that he has to work on to be way more clynical than he is now, I have no doubt about it.

lukaku came on in difficult circumstances

everybody is whining about lukaku's penalty

-yes it was an awful penalty

so was lampard's penalty against hull, nobody is complaining about that

oh yes we won that game so it's fine then for some people

i don't hear anybody saying something about cole's Lucky penalty

i have seen oscar miss a HUGH chance

cech not saving the first goal witch he normally saves

a Lucky goal in the 120th min

a referee who almost booked everybody off the Chelsea squad and not the bayern squad

but for some off you it's all lukaku's fault who played only 25 min defending
