Gross. All day. Every day.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Nah, was a poor pen. Aimed for the corner but very little power and at a nice height for the keeper to make the save.

Thanks for this, looks like there was no pace and it was telegraphed.
Both of his misses were into the Northstand, did he have a flashback to the Burnley game!!

Not the best penalty agreed, obviously because he missed, but I think Casper got across a long way and it was a good save. I would say Penalty saved not Penalty missed.

Really, Glenn opens his body up and tries to place it, even I would have read that one........I might have been diving 10 seconds later though!
Gross.
Because he's German.

Sorry mate it was a poor penalty , lacked conviction , pace and accuracy. Time to change penalty taker and Pascal is the man
Of course it was 'penalty saved' not 'penalty missed'. It was on target and stopped by the goalkeeper. That's the very definition of a 'save'.
It was a poor penalty, and like other posters in this thread I am never confident when Murray takes them. There are very few players in the history of football who never miss a penalty, but for a striker, he seems to have a lower-than-average conversion rate. Maybe that is colouring my opinion, but a savable height, very little pace, easily read. It was poor. Of course, if Schmeichel goes the other way we talk about composure and 'fooling the keeper'.
The only player I feel confident about taking penalties for us is Hemed, though that is mostly because I've not seen what this season's signings are like from the spot (and I know we're unlikely to see Hemed become the regular penalty taker when he doesn't even get on the pitch). But I'm not sure I like the idea of changing the penalty taker. Our worst season for penalty conversion was back at Withdean where we changed penalty taker every time one of them missed it. I think half the regulars in the team took at least one.
I agree that Muzza’s never been a convincing penalty taker.
But CH, the coaches and team obviously disagree.
When he grabbed the ball, I was concerned, whereas everyone around me got their phones out to video a certain goal.
Personally, I love it when players smash it down the middle low.

Schmeichel also got forward a long way before Murray kicked the ball. Stepped forward with both feet off the line.
Not a good save as it should’ve been a retake.

Anybody who can belt the ball hard on target rather than try some half-bright clever stuff they saw somebody do on the telly.
This.
Schmeichal, as is the norm, would have done his homework and known all that. Giving him added confidence.
Tomer.
We'd be on 39 points and 10th if he was allowed to play.

It was an awful penalty my wife could have hit it harder and my sons mates in the North Stand behind the goal reckon Schmeichel was going to his left before Murray hit it. I would suggest Gross as he is German and they dont miss penalties.

Always Hemed first if he is playing, then Murray

Not even guaranteed 'the next penalty'. Well not in this campaign, which I think is what you are talking about. Anyway, Murray for me.

It's the Samson and Delilah effect.
Muzza had a brutal haircut, and I thought there goes his strength.
Might have explained his wishy washy penalty
