If yesterday’s sport taught me one factor and one factor solely, it’s the significance of choosing a chosen penalty taker checklist of names.
I really don’t perceive why Mauricio Pochettino, as the pinnacle coach of the group, doesn’t do that.
Chelsea beat Leicester Metropolis 4-2 yesterday to achieve the semi finals of the FA Cup, however as all of us witnessed, the scoreline didn’t inform the entire story.
Concerningly, we folded after half time but once more and did our easiest to throw away a snug lead. However that lead ought to have really been extra by half time and we must always have had the sport useless and buried, one thing I’ve stated so much these days.
Some followers have jokingly stated they need investigations into Pochettino’s half time group talks, that’s how contrasting issues have and might be from half to half these days!
However one of many issues for me could not appear to be an enormous situation, however yesterday proved that it was/is.
If we scored our penalty we’d have been 3-0 up and the sport would have been put to mattress by 45, however Raheem Sterling missed it. Now lacking a penalty is NOT the issue right here, it occurs, no one is ideal, and generally penalties are sometimes a little bit of a lottery. I’ve no points with Sterling lacking it even when it was a horrible pen.
What I do have points with is Sterling taking it. Cole Palmer has been flawless with penalties this season, so why on earth is he not taking it?
Conor Gallagher was the captain on the day and possibly he needs to be stepping in to verify Palmer, who picked the ball as much as take it once more solely to have it taken off him be Sterling, takes it?
And it’s not the primary time this has occurred this season. Sterling was wrestling the ball from Palmer earlier within the season earlier than Enzo Fernandez (why I believe he’s good captain materials) jumped in and and advised Sterling to offer it to Palmer.
However the level is, none of this confusion needs to be occurring anyway. It’s simply extra drama and pointless conversations and arguments on the pitch. Why on earth would we be needing extra drama and uncertainty on the pitch once we are so inconsistent anyway? It makes ZERO sense.
Pochettino has beforehand talked about that he desires whoever feels assured on the pitch on the time to step up and take the penalty, however that’s all the time going to spark pointless debates on the pitch, one thing that followers and commentators will all the time choose up on.
Simply choose a chosen penalty taker at the beginning of the season, then a second, third, fourth, and fifth selection. It’s easy, good, and simply makes an excessive amount of sense, no?
Of all of the issues we’ve needed to deal with and take care of this season, don’t make penalty taking one in all them, please…..
