    Why don't people hit penalties high and to the side, anything at about head height and to a side is almost a guaranteed goal

    My worry is the corners for them. They have big units.

    We have missed a huge opportunity to be at least a couple of goals ahead. I still believe we will win but YB will re-group and the manager will tweek things tactically to try to nullify us. There is absolutely no guarantee the second half will be so one sided.

    Never going to get a better chance than this in the CL. They are there for the taking. Let’s go for it and not * it up

    Watching the keeper instead of putting the laces through it

    Engels just needs to clear the head. Looked gutted but has had an excellent first half.

    Exactly. Half-time will be like water to a dying plant for them.

    I’d ban that daft run up.

    Does Engels know you can hit it the other side as well?

    Frustrating but big difference between thus and some of our recent games where we've struggled with a cutting edge.

    We've been absolutely clinical just unlucky/poor positioning leaving us with no goals. Been excellent though, gutted for wee Kyogo.

    Everyone playing well though, no passengers and plenty of energy all over the pitch. Surely get a bit of luck now!

    I always say just smash it high down the middle, but smashing it most places will be a goal. Only so fast a person can move.

    Good first half.
    We need to be more clever with the offside, and Engels really needs to change that pen. So predictable.
    More like it though.

    Not a big fan of those types of penalties to be honest. He’s such a clean striker of the ball, I would just pick a side and leather it in.

    By all means, tip the scales by disguising which side as best you can, but fundamentally strike a clean penalty into the corner as a minimum.

    Waiting for the keeper to move is risky IMO.

    What’s the chances a point will be enough to qualify?

    Putting aside our inability to score you have to say we have performed very well.

    Playing well. This is stressful tho. Hopefully we get it done. That penalty was awful. Ref is a *.

    Can't multi quote and between my hands being freezing and * WiFi at the game it would take ages to reply multiple times individually, but I was just taking the * trying to be funny cause everyone was wishing Crow happy birthday and saying something about their birthday, it's not my birthday but I appreciate the well wishes.
