    Ok, explain how

      Well I agree, would be better if they spent time just running up and booting the ball. Instead their minds appear to be on the dance routine beforehand.

        You have a 6ft 4" athletic keeper stood there for a start, 90k fans watching and a few billion around the world.
        You've hardly the whole goal to aim at as your picking a small spot to make it difficult for the keeper. I doubt anyone would miss the target if there wasn't a keeper stood there!

          Maybe so but at least make the athletic 6’4” keeper save the bloody thing. I’m 6’1”. 12stone soaking wet and75 yrs old and I would fancy myself to hit the target. Whether it got past your giant keeper is another matter😂

                Simple. It’s called pressure. Imagine walking along a 1 foot wide plank of wood lying on the ground. Then imagine walking along the same plank of wood when it between the top of the two towers of the old World Trade Centre. I can practically guarantee you’d be shitting yourself…

                    Then they are overpaid.
                    Not knocking the failure to score.
                    Only the huge target.

                            No. But I Would expect to hit the target. If the keeper saves it, that is great for him. But missing the target is atrocious

                              And yet so many players do it . . .

                              You might expect to hit the target but under that pressure?

                              I mean it's not like you have the choice of just rolling it along the floor just so you don't miss when up against a quality keeper is it?

                              Possibly not, but you would expect them to hit the target rather than sending the thing into orbit.

                                  When I was a kid it was drilled into me that if your suffering from nerves at a penalty then just blast it as hard as you can down the middle. Surely an elite pro can manage that?

                                      As Alien Nate says, if the keeper saves it then fair enough, but to blast it wide or high is inexcusable for professional footballers who earn as much in a week as it'll take me about 10 years to get.

                                        Surely how much he earns is totally irrelevant.

                                        What your saying is a player on 100k should be better at taking a penalty than a player on 50k.

                                        They will both feel the pressure in that situation scoring a penalty has nothing to do with the quality of the player.

                                        The most talented players in the world miss penalties always have and always will.

                                          So are you saying, you could put in a gas boiler, but you know an official bloke, so you would pay him £1000 of your hard earned pay to do it. Then he gets distracted by your attractive neighbour and makes a hash of the job. BOOM! No problem Bert, just one of those things..
                                          No,,,, you pay the big money and you expect the job to be done.

                                            You would, but if he had to do the job with tens of thousands booing and trying to distract him and millions watching on TV and you knew that job would massively impact both his career and his entire organisation's . . . you'd probably get it checked by someone else afterwards, right?

                                              Now the booing is another thing. I always think fans hurling abuse etc is actually helping the taker. Not sure how to convince people, but if the crowd went totally silent, that would make the thoughts in the head go into overtime.

                                      Of course theyre massively over paid. There is no debate about that. Given the inequality in the world its quite obscene how much premier league, and higher, players get paid.
