What was technical wrong with the missed PK

[toledo]

I am a GK by trade playing for SU 18’ a Sheffield Poly in my youth.

I still coaching young GK’s here in the US.

As soon as I saw where Burrows was standing, I said to myself ‘he’s broadcasted where he will place the ball.

And if the Hull GK had PK training, he will have known immediately where to dive.

Short run up means placement.

Left footed PK taker on a wide run up means that unless he can do 90 degree body movement turn at the final stride as he approaches the ball, the ball is going in the direction he is facing.

This is what I mentor my young keepers to do: is the PK taker left footed and right footed?

Is the PK taker tacking a wide stance on his run up?

Can the PK taker open his body to play the ball in the opposite direction to his run up?

Alas, all my GK’s would have saved that PK today becue it is exactly what I tell them to look for.

The Blades GK coach should have seen that and forced someone other than Burrows to take the penalty.

Bad, bad telegraphed penalty.

Think Burrows may have slipped slightly on his standing foot as he swung at the ball as it wasn’t a good contact, but I agree it was telegraphed and he looked prior to the run up at where he was going to put it too.

Define "by trade"

Just an expression to explain that I’ve been a goalkeeper from my youth in Sheffield through playing here in the US.

Danny Ings has scored 13 of his 14 career penalties. I know Burrows has been our designated penalty taker, but surely you give it Ings when Burrows has been so bereft of confidence all season?

I remember listening to something recently, can’t remember what, might have been Keane or Neville.

They said that you should never let the fouled player take the penalty due to the adrenaline etc.

I disagree with them. If you’re the best penalty taker, irrespective of if you’ve just been fouled for the penalty then surely it makes sense for you to take the penalty.

If Burrows was the designated taker then fair enough, however he should no longer have that responsibility as that penalty was cowardly. You could tell he was going to miss with his body language.

I'm pretty sure Burrows had a perfect penalty record before tonight, so there's no issue him being the penalty taker per se. However, after a pretty poor start to the season and being dropped for today, his confidence isn't exactly high and there were good reasons for him to leave that one to someone else.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Accurate technical analysis

He also did that stupid fast running on the spot before which is destabilising

Every other pen he's taken has been low and in the corner. This gives the keeper a near 50% chance of saving it if he dives either way far enough

He scored 3 in a row. He was due to miss

He's playing with zero confidence this season

I get the impression that Wilder does not pay enough attention to such matters. He should. It's basic

Ings should have taken it

The SKY commentator after the match asked the goalie about the penalty and why he dived that way. He said the Hull GK coach had studied Burrow’s pens and told him to dive that way… so that’s what he did.

 

[GodricBlade]

Interesting view from a keeper’s perspective.
Thought it was the wrong choice of taker in the first place given the season he’s had & getting dropped today. And then it looked a poorly executed penalty - it seemed to me obvious where it was going & there wasn’t enough pace on it.
Wonder who would have taken it if a pen had been awarded in the 1st half or before Borrows came on? Appreciate they may have been taken off but I like it when forwards take pens - the players used to sticking the ball in the net. Or Cannon.

Technically speaking.... it was the reporter asking the questions not the commentator..

Apart from me being a pedantic prick...

All left footers should twat the ball in the bottom right hand corner of the goal (as they are looking at it)...a) because goalies tend to be stronger on their right side.... b) the ball is moving away from the goalkeepers dive and finally, c) it always looks cooler when a left pegger drills it into the corner

I seriously think Burrows is suffering a kindred of P.T.S.D. after the play off final. I said before season, he more than anyone must be reliving the events every night in his sleep.

Seriously…..that moment at Wembley may haunt him for the rest of his life! He may never have a moment of utter euphoria like that again………I actually feel for the lad… he’s a decent player, but somehow he needs to get his career back on track. .

 

[raimond]

I don't want to bore anyone or lose anyone with pretentious sports analytics and biomechanics so genuinely, apologies if I lose anyone with technical language and jargon.

I'd say the 2 most crucial factors in a successful penalty are 1) hit it on target and 2) hit it where the goalkeeper isn't. Where he's failed is on factor 2.

I do think there's some kind of depression running through the squad and it seems to be impacting those key players from last year the most; it's an almost "we got so many points last season, were so near and yet, here we are, I can't believe it". They really need to be brought out of this slumber as we're sleepwalking to relegation currently. If we don't have one anyway, I'd seriously consider us getting in a sports psychologist around the club for a few weeks.

all penalty takers fail to score every time. He didn’t mean to not score. That said there was absolutely no confidence in his positioning or the kick.

Kinell, remarkable stat that one.

That's a bold statement!
