MattyBlue 17,117 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Tbf most probably didn’t realise tav wasn’t the designated penalty taker today, so I take my criticism back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had way too much time to think. If Tav is no longer confident in taking penalties then we need to find someone else. I can understand his lack of confidence tbh.

Smile 26,610 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Why would anyone decide Morelos in the biggest game off our season was the player to take that penalty he could still play now and not score against the filth. It's in his head now, if Morelos had played against any other team yesterday he would have had a few but he snatched at shots he normally takes with ease he would have passed at times rather than take shots from impossible angles. 11 games and no goals against them and Gerrard or Tav decided this was the time to change up the penalty taker, mental.

trueblueal 2,117 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Barisic should be the pen taker. Tav was excellent yesterday as were the rest. Days like yesterday just happen now and again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

siamthedanger 2,855 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I also think Barisic should be the penalty taker. Or Ryan Jack. Those two seem to have the best technique when striking the ball. It will be interesting to see who will now take the next penalty. Will Tav take the responsibility back?

See the thing is If u asked me before the game yesterday who should be the penalty taker I would have said alfredo but see the way the game was going for alfredo yesterday I just knew he was going to miss that penalty. He was getting more and more frustrated at not scoring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morelos has been wanting to take the penalties for some time, several games he has reluctantly given the ball up to Tav. There was no way he was going to give up taking penalty yesterday if it had already been decided beforehand he was the designated penalty taker. It was a golden opportunity to get off the mark against that lot but unfortunately he missed. Goes against the popular narrative but maybe Tav was playing the captain’s part and offering to take it himself if the wee man didn’t fancy it.

Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Cutting through all the shite, we simply need better to be be what and where we need to be. He is not alone!

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,728 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I'm pretty sure at the penalty they'd kicked the ball away and it was over at the far touchline. Tav retrieved it and brought it to Morelos who was standing waiting on it. Seems cut and dried that it was planned this way with Morelos nominated taker in advance.

doc holliday 1,653 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Strewth. We lost by a 'goal' that was offside. We dominated them all over the park. Look at the positives and hold your head high....they won but they will be worried about the extent to which they were outplayed and outfought. Tacticly it was a solid performance from us but their keeper had an absolute stormer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a lot of hindsight in what you say. Up until the Aberdeen game, Morelos was in the form of his life. With Tav missing a few penalties recently, Morelos was the obvious choice to take over. I take your point that maybe he wasn’t the best choice considering how yesterday’s game had gone. However, that would have required a decision made on the field at that instant. I think Tav offered to take it but Morelos wanted it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it’s mental that Morelos took our first penalty since the last one we had (which Tav missed) even though you’ve been saying Morleos should be our penalty taker because you like strikers to take them ever since that one.

In a game he was missing and snatching at chances, yes, and a big game we needed to win. And I do like strikers to take them that's no changed but you do not change it then. I personally believe Tav fucked it giving it to Morelos as he wanted to give him a goal and Gerrard's took the heat of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbm26896 995 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Tav was up against a winger that cost around 12million and didnt give him a kick. Not seeing much praise for him on here. He was one of our best players in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the "Morelos was penalty taker" story from SG is to protect both Tav and Alfie. I think Tav didn't fancy it and Morelos did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
