weebluedevil 1,285 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I think Tav looks a bit nervous now and would question if perhaps his lack of overall form is affecting his penalty taking, which is all about confidence. Is it time to give Alfie the opportunity (or indeed Defoe when he’s playing) to take the spot kicks? I’d vote yes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,757 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Generally no issue with Tav but I'd like to think we have several players capable of accepting the responsibility. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,947 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Tav’s penalty duties over now IMO. Morelos or Defoe now 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onevision 1,614 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I do prefer my penalty taker to lift the ball from the ground about 1 metre to give the keeper less if a chance when they guess correctly where as if not mistaken Tav likes to hit his low. Not sure i'd drop him from duty as he does have a very good record from the spot. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,821 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I'd hoped that Morelos was going to take the one on Thursday and was dismayed when he threw the ball to Tav. Tav has lost confidence and it should be Alfie taking them now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it's easier to save a metre high shot than a grass cutter? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza_8 233 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I don't think Morelos has the accuracy or composure to take penalty kicks. If Defoe is on the pitch I'd 100% give him the responsibility. If not, then I'd let Tav keep hitting them, for the time being. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill 13,717 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I don’t care who you are, if you’re confidence is low you should not be taking penalty kicks. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
