Before the shootout it was quite obvious that TT was asking players and Werner shook his head.

He didn’t want to be the penalty kicker when Jorginho took over. He will not get better hiding like that.

Wolves missed 3 pens in a row against Tottenham 😒

Especially after scoring a goal tonight.

Anyway, hopefully Lukaku takes over from Jorginho from now on. IF we are lucky and actually get a pen in a game lol

I'm pleased we're through, but I can't get over the fact Werner didn't take a PK. Is his confidence that shot?

Scored 3 goals and 1 assist in 3 games for Germany. Assist in cameo against Spurs and now goal. His confidence is growing no need to kill it with pen.

Southampton at home next round.

Chelsea v Southampton next!

It isn't like he him missing was nailed on. Just seems odd especially considering he was Leipzig's main taker, IIRC.

Chelsea have a home tie against Southampton in the first match.

[NikkiCFC 7,563]

QPR:Sunderland in the next round would be great. After CWC.

Ofc liverpool get another free pass

They small teams have evaporated quickly.

 

Anyway, we made hard work of this. But we built a habit of scraping through when playing poorly. True winner's instinct. We should not make a habit out of relying on it tho.

12 different goalscorers already this season after just 8 games. This is our big quality. Lukaku 4 goals and 11 players with 1 goal!

[LAM09 6,535]

Werner on why he didn't take a PK -"First of all, I had pain in my calf and couldn’t go out. When you have fit players on the pitch, it is better they shoot than I do today."

Make of that what you will.

How is Callum still on? 

I was glad he stayed on and the same with Saul who could easily have been subbed at halftime again. If there is to be improvement from either of them time on the pitch has to be part of the medicine.
