The penalty and arguing who was going to take it.

[Redlips]

His body language looked all wrong.

I thought Howson would have stepped up.

 

[AytonMews]

It wasn’t a bad penalty really. Excellent save from the keeper (who looked about 14)

It hit the post.

 

[AytonMews]

It hit the post.

I was right behind it and was sure the keeper tipped it onto the post!

highlights say no, though

You would think there would be a clear penalty pecking order wouldn't you. Managers instructions.

I hate seeing players arguing over them. It just builds pressure. Thankfully it didn't cost us anything

 

[TeaCider]

We've had 5 different penalty takers this season, I wouldn't blame Greenwood for this.

 

[Ravshoutsatbeck]

I think Greenwood had played well and is the best deadball player in the team. So reasonable to take it.

But... I am a believer in the striker takes it unless they prove they are no good at it - because you want them to score as many as possible.

 

[parmoboy]

Lath should be taking it. He's the striker

I would have been a lot more angry at Greenwood if the score had have been 0-0 but in fairness the game was won.

Lath still should have taken it though.

 

[Slipperutb01]

Cost me a few quid had lath to score and Boro 3nil so I obviously wanted lath to take but 3pts is more than few quid in my pocket

 

[S7DiscoDown]

I can't knock a 'forward' wanting to take a pen. He's also been on a bit of a drought. I'd be more annoyed had it been 0-0.

He had the confidence to take it. Also usually strikes the ball pretty well. That said you don't really want to see players arguing over it. I mean better players than Greenwood miss pens every week.

Although if Latte Lath was the pre match nominated taker then that's another issue. It's not cost us anything. So can't get to worked up about it.

 

[Frozen Horse]

Didn't really seem to be that much argument. LL went to take it from him but backed down quickly; maybe his English isn't up to arguing yet? I did expect JH to step in and give it to LL though.

Exactly this, should be clear order of penalty takers. No need for disagreements on the pitch. Not the first time it's happened either.

 

[BoroPhil]

I don't think Greenwood would have taken it if it was 0-0.

 

[Angelofayresome]

Strikers should take penalties.

 

[On The Bob]

Lath should have taken it.

Greenwood is cack. Would much rather Silvera/Gilbert be given a chance now.

 

[TeessideCleveland]

I didn't think there was much arguing - Greenwood got the ball, Latte Lath tried to get the ball off him - and Greenwood said no

 

[J_Boro_Clock]

Can't stand the shiny tooth mackem nob sooner the loans up the better shocking player

 

[TeaCider]

Strikers should take penalties.

We didn't have a single penalty taken by a striker last season.

Forss and Akpom took them all, and neither played as a striker in the matches they took them.

This season, the majority of our penalties have been taken by players who weren't playing as strikers.

Greenwood was signed by Leeds as a striker, it's not like we had Matt Clarke taking it.

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

Strikers should take penalties.

The best penalty takers should take them, whether a striker or not.

 

[tonybiriyani]

It doesn't matter if they are striker or not, the best penalty taker takes them eg Leadbitter
