I know, what a twat, he says "get in" excitedly but doesn't realise he's said it out loud
I knew there would be a pause afterwards and he didn't disappoint, I also knew he would be thinking if something to cover himself, which again he didn't disappoint saying a couple of minutes later "I was convinced that was in, what a great save by chesney".
Its up for grabs now wrote:why didnt giroud take it?
My thoughts exactly
I don't think Giroud should take pens. Vastly vastly improved this year but still not a finisher and I'm not convinced he's particularly composed from that sort of range.
Was a piss-poor penalty mind. Ozil is effortlessly comfortable and shifts the ball around with absolute ease. But that's all he is at the moment: comfortable. He's not going to sweat his bollocks off chasing balls all around the pitch and diving into tackles (and nor would I want him to) but his body language still isn't that encouraging. Doesn't seem to be particularly enjoying his football.
Has been a fairly lazy performance but I'm not worried - they're piss-poor and I no longer feel like we're always on the verge of capitulating when we're only a goal ahead
Well he looked a damn site more composed than Ozil when smashing home the penalty against Southampton a few days ago NB.
Yeah Townsend is such a dick. He's the sort of pricks you get at your local club - generally grumpy older men who know fuck all and spend all game moaning to anybody that will listen. Nothing to say other than "should have done so-and-so", "could have done this instead), all fucking game.
Also can't believe ITV were actually surprised it wasn't an enthralling game. A team with no chance of qualifying with 4 defeats from 4 games turn up with their best players on the bench, what did they expect? We never got out of second gear but coasted to a victory with a clean sheet and no apparent damage on the injury or fatigue front, job done.
