Makes me laugh all this nonsense about Southgates "choice" of young penalty takers in the final. It would have been decided before the tournament even started following extensive research by an army of analysts on the stats of the squad.
Of course Gareth could have over ruled the statisticians conclusion but it would take a brave man to do that if it went wrong. Besides, what sort of message does it send to Rashford, Sanchez and Saka? "

Ok lads I know the boffins have proved you are the best penalty takers but I don't trust you enough on this big occasion "
The way some people go on it's like a Sunday morning pub team where the manager shouts " Oi lads anybody fancy taking a penalty in the shoot out? Il get you a beer in the pub afterwards if you score. Any takers? " 😂😂😂😂.

Just bringing on players to take a penalty at the end is too much pressure. They knew they were only there to score a penalty. Come on cold just for that, in front of millions of viewers. Harsh!

Nice one cyclist 👌.

It’s certainly a tough call Cyclist but every team does it including the Italians. Look, if it’s too tough I’d volunteer to do it for 150 grand a week! 😂😂.

So its the statisticians that decided who took pens then Stokey, so how many pens has young Saka taken under that type of pressure, to get the statistics for these so called statisticians to go on then, how many pens has he taken in his professional career .

Mate have a read of “Inverting the Pyramid “ by Jonathon Wilson. It’s probably the best of numerous books about the revolutionary use of stats in football ( and all sports really) .

Dream, the analysts would know not only how pens Sami had taken in his career but which corner he puts them in and which goalkeepers were his opponents etc etc. I know you can’t replicate pressure and that’s where Southgate might have over ruled the stats but like I say it’s a brave man to go against them and what sort of message does it send to a young player. ?
