KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Dude, Mata is horrible at taking penalties.1. Lampard2. Hazard3. LuizI think people are overrating Luiz's PK ability. Mata can get a bit better in that area. I'd like to see Torres take one once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,489 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 FACT he scored!So - dream on, you wanna be a prick, be a prick - I dont care - but don't expect nobody to pull you up on it... Talking shite for the sake of talking... If he misses 3 in-a-row, then sure - you are correct and I'm the biggest cunt in the world... Happy now?i dont care what you say. but don't make up stuff. i didn't criticise lampard, i am merely saying his penalty kicks from the last season have been directed to the keeper's right. it's my opinion that opponents may catch on. don't be a prick and assume stuff for the sake of shootin people down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,489 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 What do you want him to do? Do a backflip whilst hitting the ball with his heel on landing making the ball do a loopy-loop around the keeper, hitting our crossbar and bouncing off so hard it goes into the top corner? He has always been a consistent penalty taker, he knows what he's doing.nope. if you read my first post, u could save yourself the trouble. my opinion is that he should change it up. last 4 attempts have been predictable. maybe he is going for double bluff or he is keepin it simple - i am not analysing his psychology or anythin but i merely said he has gone to the keeper's right a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,489 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 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: Ddude, its not criticism if you point out he has gone to the same side a lot.

themightyblue 443 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.There was a lack of options. It was either Bertrand or Sturridge who's had an injury this week. We've hardly any indication to suggest this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutcho 8,443 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 It's live in Australia also.I hate the way the whole viewing thing works in England. Because its so lucrative to show PL games Skysports etc has purchased a certain number of games so cannot show every game wheras if i wen't to a foreign country like somewhere in the middle east i could see every game on tv.... Suppose we get the advantage of being able to see the games live more often but still, it does get rather annoying... Horray for Streams.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nando 106 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 It may result a tricky game for us.Can't wait to see Oscar-Mata-Hazard-Torres starting together, but maybe the Spanish boys need a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 7,489 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Still waiting for Hazard to take the set pieces...last player at chelsea who would curl the freekicks was probably deco or ballack. since then it has been alex, drogba, lampard - all shooting with power. interesting to see what hazard brings in terms of set pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustafa 885 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Torres taking penalties?There's a very, very good reason why he wasn't chosen to take one in Munich. He has all the mental strength of a walnut.But he did take pens for Atletico and for Spain at WC 2006 .. i reckon if we get a pen this wednesday and Lamps and Juan arent on the pitch, he should take it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
