Muzchap 8,966 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 It's complacent, though. With an approach like that he's never far from getting a penalty saved. He should try putting it somewhere else next time he takes a penalty.Yeah but hindsight is impossible - that's what drives me mad about TV replays etc - he shoudda, coudda, woudda... If keeper had gone the other way, would have been a great penalty blah blah.If you can get it in the corner with pace - then it's very hard for any GK to save.Just think this 'armchair critiscism' is going too far - he's not complacent, he's just VERY comfortable putting the ball in that side of the goal... and long may it continue :D: D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidEU 2,023 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 In terms of Penalty takers I think its1. Lampard2. Hazard3. MataHasn't Mata missed his last four for us now? Would take abit of bottle for him to take one anytime soon. Wouldn't be surprised to see Luiz stepping up if Frank or Hazard are not on the pitch.

Milan 17,957 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hope to see Cahill in the starting line-up, he should be getting more and more games. Looking forward to Oscar and Hazard as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidEU 2,023 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Has anyone seen or heard anything about our new supposed dugouts? With the bucket Audi seats? Guessing they'll be on view on Wednesday night for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember any misses other than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Think we'll see: CechIvan - Cahill - Luiz - Bertrand Essien - LampardRamires - Hazard - Malouda SturridgeCan someone show me where it was said Marin will be out until 'mid-September', could've sworn Blues News said he'd be back next week.

But if he keeps going straight and high he has a pretty good chance of scoring every time- it takes a huge amount of guts on the keepers part to just stand still when facing a PK, because he'll look a massive tit if the ball goes anywhere else.Hasn't Mata missed his last four for us now? Would take abit of bottle for him to take one anytime soon. Wouldn't be surprised to see Luiz stepping up if Frank or Hazard are not on the pitch.I'd rather see Cole take them than David Luiz... he just strikes me as the type of PK taker that'll hit the top corner or row Z. If only we still had Ballack, there was a superb alternative to Lampard as a PK taker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I think inserting Bertrand into the lineup shows how much RDM craves defensive balance in the lineup. He's obviously prefer to use Ramires, but he went with a defensive-minded player rather than any number of attacking players he could have gone with in his stead. I don't think we'll see much of a Mata-Oscar-Hazard front three this season because of defensive concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccioso 2,545 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Sheva and Drogba too weren't bad.I always had a bit of fear whenever Drogba stepped up, because of his record of choking when taking penalties for the Ivory Coast. Thankfully he was only involved in a few shootouts in his time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
