it sure aint wise to bring on a player with less than a minute left just for taking a stressful situation pk ..!! slot definitely has some blame to shoulder for that missed pk ..!
tbh, i also have never figured arj to be all that great of a PK taker anyhow, although he has certainly scored more vital PKs than he has missed ...!! im always nervous when he steps up for dispatch a vital PK..!!
the big positives with him as pk taker is his strong mentality and confident approach and vigor... the negatives for me has always been him trying Way too hard to get Overly Fancy footed /RicoSuave with his touches on the ball... from shots, dribble attempts to crosses to sometimes even a simple fkn short tap passes to an open teammate ...!! instead of just get stuck-in and get on with the damn play.. i think he thinks he is Cristiano or tries too hard to be ...?
anyways today's missed attempt was overall more of good save by keeper than a bad PK miss by him ..!
woulda much preferred had he stepped back a few more yards, (again instead of trying too hard to go for style points by standing right next to the ball) Picked a damn corner and hit a solid but accurate shot towards it..!!
i dont give a fk who the goalie maybe and how great his reflexes maybe or he maybe in PK saves .... if you just hit a solid velocity, low shot (even if a ground roller) to about 1ft or less inside of each goal post.... 95% of the time the ball goes in, whether the keeper guesses right and dives well to save it....& if you wanna slightly increase your scoring chances then i suggest going for the left corner of the goal if keeper is right footed and the opposite if its against a left footed keeper .... and if you wanna get closer to 99% goal then you risk a more difficult attempt of lifting up your shot up a bit to upper corners of the goal..!
