Barnes has admitted changing his mind about the direction of his penalty. He saw Schmeichal commit himself to the right.

How do you 'nearly' save a penalty....you either save it or don't save it....

Do you really, truthfully, honestly not know what the word 'nearly' means?

As far as Schmeichel was concerned I thought he was saying "I know where you're going to put this" to unnerve Barnes.

Did look like that on the tellybox for sure.

Was Schmeichel sledging Barnes before his pen?

I asked Barnes if Schmeichel was communicating with his teammate about which way to dive and he said that the goalie was sledging him. He said all that was going through his mind was to hit it straight into the back of the net. It paid off.
