What a bizarre interview 12:34 - Nov 27 with 2093 viewsSuperblue95

“But one difference between the two penalties - Will knew what he was doing. Basically I didn’t know! It was instinct/gambling. But I think both penalty saves were very important.”

“Why? Like I say, I’m not a penalty type of goalkeeper. I really don’t like it. I don’t like penalties. That’s what I do, I don’t like them”

Seems an odd thing to say as a goalkeeper. Would be like Norwood saying he refuses to attempt one on ones in training because he misses plenty of them in games.

My hobbies include being quiet during trips, clapping with songs, and diabetes.

Or it could just been gamesmanship....
I would imagine he has to practice penalties and research whether he wants to or not

To be fair as a 'keeper the best thing you can do is gamble as if you try and work it out you might not make the save anyway if it's well taken. If it's a match where a penalty shoot out is possible then you might have a glance at likely takers and where they might put* it but even then the best chance you have of saving it is by gambling and committing so you can get to it if it goes that side of the goal. If you guess wrong then whatever, you weren't expected to save it anyway.

*And even then Pickford said he didn't bother researching for the Colombia match last World Cup, better to trust instincts on the night.

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.

Statistically, a 'keeper is better not moving.

It's nothing like one on ones for Norwood.

What an odd question.

A keeper relies 90% on luck and making a dive to one side (usually).

A one on one is a matter of skill


One of the reasons some people call for penalty shoot outs to be replaced by taking the ball from the half way line to try and score past the keeper. It's much more skill and less luck.

Truly impaired.

There is so much research into penalty takers and keepers, a keeper who constantly stayed still would soon be found out.

I think keepers could gamble 3 ways including staying still on some occasions. There must also be a point at which you can tell almost for sure which way a player is going to kick the ball before contact is made meaning quick reactions might get a top keeper there (more an educated guess rather than a gamble).

I've started playing in goal again the last few months, penalties are a total lottery. Choose a side to dive on and make yourself big, if it's coming your side get something on it and hope for the best unless it's a sh!t penalty and he's telegraphed where he's going to hit it.

Any keeper should regularly practice facing penalties.

As for Norwood, he isn't no John Wark or Tommy Miller from 12 yards. He is more of a hit it and hope for the best type of penalty taker.

We haven't had a real penalty specialist since Leadbitter was here. He was top class from the spot.
