nutty nigel 7,784 Posted January 17, 2018 We were confident. Is that the German influence? I think Nelson''s was a good save but that put pressure on the others. Especially Josh whose PK was sudden death. Our youngsters are becoming men before our eyes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iwans Big Toe 354 Posted January 17, 2018 I was never all that confident, Chelsea had some exceptional players from spot kicks. The thing that I do have a question about though is shouldn''t it have been the ABBA system like Lineker said in commentary? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 847 Posted January 17, 2018 We went second which has been proven to be a 70:30 advantage to the team taking first. I thought they had the ABBA system going. I guess that must just be the league cup.Don''t think it was ever in doubt that Chelsea would win that shootout. They had big Willy in net, who''s a proven penalty king and had their fans behind the goal as well. The 3 that went in from us all looked excellent but too little, too late. Oliveiras was a nervy one and pretty much all of Chelseas, Gunn was nowhere near.Shame it had to end like that but in the grand scheme of things, it''s not a big deal. Hopefully it gees the lads up a bit to get them to have a real good stab of going for 6th. A win at the weekend and we''d be chasing it at just the right time.
