SOCCER SPORT !

I am always amazed when top class footballers miss a penalty.

It is so easy unless the goalkeeper goes the right way but even then.

It's a 100% mental game with an 85% success rate. So it's often shocking when they don't go in.

Yeah. I used to take them in high school with a good success rate.

The worst thing that you can ever do is change your mind on which direction you go. Walk up knowing which corner you are going for, try to fake the keeper with your eyes and aim for the lower corner.

Mané sent for shoulder scans

[shameless]

Missed two penalties?

yes!!

Mane's injury not serious, but he's apparently doubtful for Saturday. Benteke to be sold to Crystal Palace for £27m plus £5m add-ons. Fantastic. Hopefully that money can be turned, David Blaine style, into Jonas Hector.

LOL at Moreno:

“In football everyone can make mistakes, even Lionel Messi can make mistakes, we’re all human. It’s about keeping going and keeping positive. I love Liverpool Football Club, I’m happy with my form and how I’ve played. The fans are happy with me as well.”

So he puts himself in a comparison with Messi, says his form is just fine, and that the fans are happy with how he's playing. While it's true that players can't get caught up in listening to the media machine, sometimes you do have to have a bit of self reflection (aka reality check). Perhaps it would have been better stated that he's working hard to improve his mistakes rather than claiming all is well.

how things change one minute your no 1 then - Joe Hart has been told he can go if he wishes ! you would wouldn't you given that suggestion ? can't say i'm surprised great with his hands mostly but rubbish with his feet - its getting now where the keeper needs those talents also nowadays

Sadly for him, he's not exactly the type of keeper to thrive in a build from the back, tiki-taka team.

Terrible penalty call! He barely touched him, then Shaw tripped over himself.

Hmm, seeing it again, it looks like Clasie kicks one of Shaw's legs into the back of the other. It was a legit penalty call.
