Ken Hairy 3,774 Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) Did he not learn anything from the nonsense of the Euro final?? I can't believe he's just done that. Edited September 19, 2021 by Ken Hairy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No but clearly his decision to bring on Noble in the last minute purely to take the kick, just like that idiot Southgate. Very very poor management. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelm Canary 404 Posted September 19, 2021 To bring a player on that hasn't touched the ball for 90 mins to take a crucial penalty is very poor management. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very very poor management. it's a bit like bringing a keeper on to save the penalties. Must pile the pressure on the individuals and if it goes wrong your getting heavy criticism. However, if it works out then... Not sure what message it sends out to those on the pitch, do any care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crafty Canary 497 Posted September 19, 2021 Could it be that he did it because Noble is their primary penalty taker? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,186 Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) Haven't West Ham missed something like four out of five of their latest penalties? Wasn't Noble known as 'Mr. Reliable' with regard to taking the spot kicks over many years at West Ham? I don't think Moyes's decision nearly as inexplicable as Southgate's. The latter called upon raw youngsters to take part in the penalty shoot out of a World Cup final watched by millions. Noble's kick was to save a point in a close run Premier League game.
