Hemed´s penalties



Am I the only one who worries about Hemed´s penalties? I have no problem with his record, he seems to be able to send the keepr the wrong way and then roll it accurately into the other corner.

I just wish he will hit it a bit harder. If the keeper guesses correctly and goes the right way he should be able to save it easily and Hemed will look a bit of a pillock.

If he gave it some welly even if the keeper did go the right way it would still probably go in.

One day, maybe very soon, a keeper is going to guess correctly and save one pretty easily. I just hope it happens when we are three nil up and not in the last minute away at Boro when a goal would see us promoted.

I hate his penalties with a passion. Always get the feeling he will miss a vital one at some stage.

I think we just have to get used to the fact Tomer will never score a thunder*******.

For whatever reason he just doesn't seem to kick the ball hard.

Exactly. He's scored all but one this season, good record from the spot, no problem.
If he gave it more welly, you could argue he is more liable to miss the target completely. He's got a style he's clearly comfortable with, if his record is good I take confidence from it.

It was heart in the mouth time last night as I expected him to do one of his little dip down the middle ones and Bettonelli save it but all credit to him he put it in the corner very near the post. I must admit I prefer a blaster.

There is a tiny hesitation whilst he waits to see which way the keeper is going, then he puts it elsewhere. It's not a stutter, but a minute pause.

I've never been confident when he steps up to take a penalty. But he seems to have a lot of self confidence and doesn't see the need to strike it hard. His record is 80%, which is pretty good, so I suppose why should he fix what isn't broken?

To be honest I really can't remember a penalty taker I was that comfortable with or confident about, There certinly hasn't been one during the Amex years.

I will always remember Gus turning his back on the game and looking into the crowd whenever we took a penalty. Obviously he was even less confident than us that his man was going to score!

I have never been confident of any Brighton player to score a penalty!

Hemed has been our best penalty taker since Dean Hammond. I'm usually thinking we'll miss when we get a penalty, never when Hemed steps up.

Lopez was quality from the penalty spot. If memory serves me right, he didn't miss.
