Shouldn’t be on the pitch then. |  |

Crap as Taylor's pen was, credit to him for stepping up again. Clarke wasn't confident enough to, no doubting he would have at Sunderland. Was probably our no. 6. | | | |

Nonsense you want confident people to take them. Maybe criticised him for not volunteering but try and avoid ridiculous hot takes |  | | |

Before a penalty was taken he was my choice to miss. |  |

To clarify he might have put his hand up. This isn’t anti JC, it’s anti any player without the ability to carry out his duty as a pro. | |

I hate this opinion so much, I’d much rather a player say they’re too nervous to take one and let someone who fancies it have one than be forced into it and blaze it over.
If he was too nervous to take one, good on him for admitting it. |  |

Please see above.
I hate the opinion that you have 11 players on the pitch, paid to carry out a role, but sht themselves in big moments, and people are ok with that.
Not an anti JC post, as we don’t know what was said. [Post edited 3 Mar 22:39]

That is an odd one
I was surprised to see Morsy and Johnson on them and Morsy's run looked horrendous but he did bury it to be fair |  |

Before Taylors miss I actually thought great piece of scheduling if JC was number 6.
I guess only JC knows the real position. |  | | |

I assumed he was man no 6 for sudden death |  |

Think my point is still valid to yours, if you had a huge pitch to a client, and you had the worlds best presentation designer etc but they sh1t the bed when public speaking, you wouldn’t force them to do the pitch because they’d lose you the business. Same concept in my opinion.
Pro’s ‘should’ be able to cope with the pressure but being able to admit when they can’t takes stones. | |

If part of said persons job ‘might’ include pitching to a client you’d like to think they get the appropriate training incase it falls on them in an emergency (sickness in the office etc)
And let’s remember, it’s kicking a ball 12 yards… something footballers tend to train to do from the point they can walk.
Not the biggest ask really is it. | |

JC at Championship level is not the same as JC at Premier League level.
That’s quite clear, mentally and technically, which both apply here too. |  | | |

What's your theory on Taylor then? |  | | |
| Jack Clarke on 23:03 - Mar 3 with 2014 views | rattram |
9 penalties hit hard and even when the keeper guessed correctly it didn’t matter. Taylor’s effort was like a bl??dy pass back. Choose which side and hit it as hard as you can. Such a cr?p effort | | | |

Not really. If you are a good but not top end firm, then you won't necessarily attract the big hitters who are great at delivering in the everyday and high pressure scenarios. These are human beings, remember. A good manager works on the potential, allows the person to flourish in their strengths, and uses others when that employee struggles. If every one of our players were robots, then maybe your reasoning would hold up, but we are dealing with good footballers here, not world class players or machines.

Had it gone the full circle they’d have all HAD to take one | |

Clarke doesn't have the confidence he had last season, that is obvious when you look at the chance he had in the second half. Clarke from last season hits that first time before defenders/GK can position themselves, but the Clarke from this season takes a 2nd touch - wrong decision.
Like so many of the players, their confidence is shot. |  | | |

Yes, and it's also true that all players take time to adapt to the step up (as JC is) and a lot of fans forget that in their haste to moan and criticise and blame and scapegoat. |  |

I had no doubt Morsy would score.
Looked coolness personified walking up to the spot. For any perceived faults or weaknesses that man might have, he leads from the front and you get the impression the players would go to war for him.
A proper leader. | | | |

I think you are right.
I am staring to see improvements to JC on the player that was at Sunderland.
I think his chance last night was very much a half one. | | | |

Yep, and some of them will have been more nervous than others which leads to a greater chance of missing.
I know you're an old-skool 'mental health isn't a thing, just pull yourself together' type but your view is antiquated and wrong.
As Weird Fishes says, it's actually brave to admit vulnerability (this stands whether that's the case with Clarke or some other reason - he could've taken a knock for all we know). |  |
