It was a truly pathetic penalty. The lack of a run up, the daft little hops, the weird dancing arm movements and then a total lack of power or direction. Not a single redeeming quality about it.
I won’t criticise him as a player or question his character but there’s just no defending that penalty. A glorious chance, at home, in front of the Gwladys Street, to slot the winning pen and put us into the semi final of a cup and he does that.
In that situation just pick a spot and smash it as hard as you can. If the keeper saves it or it hits the post etc. then it’s understandable and people will forgive it much more easily.
Gana took the penalty that ultimately put us out of the competition but he’s not really being criticised because he just took a normal pen and didn’t try to fúck about.
