I was pretty certain he'd miss last night and I was 100m away in the north stand. As soon as he started the stuttering run up i thought, that's just not him.

There are really 5 options with a penalty - top left / right, bottom left/right and high down the middle. Low down the middle has a much lower success rate and I'm amazed he went for that.

Apparently discounting shoot outs Ollie has missed 7 out of 13



It's easy to focus on that one stat, but look at the way he puts the ball on the spot. We've had very few players over the years who could do that. It's a bit lazy to focus on the outcome so much.

He could try and get an assist like Pires sort of tried and failed to do with Henry.
