Scott7 5,236 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Fabulous save by de Gea keeps United in the Cup. Brighton and Hove Albion are a really good side. Never thought I’d admit that. United will win,though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacK1950 2,249 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) Slim Jim a wand of a left foot so no problem to him. However in watching shoot-outs and other penalties it is amazing how left footers miss more than right footers. Today was an instance and in past few weeks Saka and Salah.

That’s an interesting observation about missing penalty kicks with the left foot. I don’t remember Baxter taking penalties for Rangers though he must have done. Usually Caldow, Greig and less often Brand. Johnny Hubbard could tuck them away with the left peg. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"At first glance, the stats seem to suggest that there is not much difference in how successful left-footed players are at taking penalties (73% success rate) compared to right-footed players (76%). However, researchers have noted that if you just look at penalty shoot-outs from the last twenty years, the success rate for left-footers drops to 58% (success rate for right-footed players has remained over 70%)." Normal penalties, not much in it. Penalty shootouts, left-footers are worse. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7 5,236 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I wouldn’t have given Arsenal a percentage chance as high as 31%. But …. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
