Gnomicide Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 My first time back at Anfield last night since the Atletico super spreader event in March 2020. Felt like nothing had changed other than a few hand sanitisers about the place and the stewards half heartedly wearing masks, all a bit surreal in that sense. Decent game, nice of us to stop playing for the last 5 minutes of the first half to make it more exiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total dominance to losing 2-1 at HT. You know what happened last time we won our opening CL game 3-2 don't you? 👀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, great atmosphere. There was an Allez Allez part way through the second half that was one of the loudest songs I've heard in there.

pink_triangle Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Surely Noble missing a penalty is just evidence that footballers sometimes miss penalties, rather than evidence that a player needs to get in the game to take a penalty.

It would be interesting to see if there are stats backing up the theory but it does feel like a lot of players miss afterbeing brought on to take a penalty. One of the most interesting facts I read years ago was that a team is more likely to score following a throw in near the corner flag than they are from a corner. So all the busting a gut to stop a corner was in fact counter productive. The figures may differ now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is people remember penalty misses and forget the ones that are scored which skews perception. When players are brought on to take penalties in shootouts and score, nobody uses them to counter any argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nal Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Being hyper critical, he didnt look loose kicking the ball. If it went in Moyes would be a genius. On the flipside, Krul was subbed on to save penos before and won the shootout so I dunno. Moyes not trusting anyone else on the pitch to take a peno is nonsense though.

True. Although to be fair to Moyes those on the pitch either have no experience taking penalties or have recent experience of not scoring them. I’d also add, Noble didn’t miss, De Gea saved. I’d finally mention that Noble went up further in my estimation of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR had a shocker, was laughing at how the ref didnt give West Ham a pen with that Wan Bissaka assault on Soucek. Although I do think of one Ronaldos was a pen too.
