Okay I’ve tried to hold this in to no avail: our penalties in the FA Cup final weren’t…good. Mendy got a hand to multiple ones and the winning one went in because he dove the wrong way, and Kostas wasn’t using the goalkeeper-dependent method, as far as I can tell from just one angle of the replay. It came down to luck that Mendy went the other way. Our pens in the league cup final were much better, understandably so since 3 of those usual takers (Mo, Fab, Virg) weren’t on the pitch this time. Let’s hit with power into the top corner or side netting, make them unsavable 🙏 And this tactic that neur11 (I assume) have us doing where our keeper takes the ball to the next-up shooter to circumvent opposing keeper mind games, I’m shocked it’s not already stolen by every other team since the league cup final where Kweeveen did it, let’s stick with that.

#Thiago used the goalkeeper-dependent method I think #so I’ll allow that as a strategic one #Real Madrid are fully gonna Vibes(TM) any shootout we get into #they’re not exactly cutting edge over there with ancelotti #if we take good pens I’d feel really good about our chances there #so……please take good pens lol #just watched the Europa league final shootout and Frankfurt’s were amazing #pace into the top!! always!#the immoral injustice that is penalties #my ideal penalty order: Mo Fab Virg Trent Milly #Jota 6th if it gets to that #i know Mo wants the glory of 5th more often than not but imo Milly is the better converter tbh #he just takes them less often because Mo wants them and Milly’s happy to let him #and then this way? Mo takes multiple for certain if we get through the whole lineup in sudden death #which isn’t unheard of
