Bogdan And Penalties


white noise

Recommended Posts

I've said it before and I will say it again, Bogdan is truly dreadful with penalties. Yesterday, just prior to the kick being taken, Bogdan was stood BEHIND his line, with his hands down. He made no attempt to narrow the angles by stealing a few inches or even diving forwards, off his line. He did not move across his line, or spread himself. He did not delay the penalty by walking forwards, he did not show either corner by standing off centre and then moving back, to attempt to create indecision in the taker. No psyching out the taker but yes, he stuck to the rules. Often, saved penalties are when the keeper moves off his line. Often, missed penalties occur when the keeper psychs out the taker. Bogdan's record this season is nothing short of atrocious. As someone in NSL said yesterday " Andrews supreme confidence in penalty taking, stems from practising against Bogdan all week , scoring 300 out of 300!" I appreciate that the taker is always favourite but you can reduce the odds!

Im not a fan of Bogdan

 

but Lonegan was asked if he was dissapointed to be left out after his performance against Sunderland

 

he said no, he had to do more and didnt deserve to start as Bogdan has been our best player this season.

Totall agree but it's still a poor record. More missed in an average shoot out than against us.

 

Penalties within a match and penalties to resolve a tied match are very different.

 

For one thing the shoot-out is after extra time and out field players are generally tired, or even nursing a knock.

For goalkeepers, facing 5 or more with a minute or two between each gives the opportunity to get into a groove. Almost like a training session.

 

Within a match (when penalties actually count as goals) the advantage is with the taker. He is nominated and is (or certaily should be) up for it. The keeper will have been involved in action before the awarded pen, which is not the situation in a post-match shoot-out.

So in essence a keeper will have had fuck all to do for 120 minutes prior to a shootout.? Edited by DomRepWanderer
