Thread: How many penalties has Alexis missed? I reckon that's his third. Has he ever scored

    Hopefully Iwobi, too. He wasn't that successful vs PSG, but he had a hand in two goals today.

    Hi backheel to Feo was perfect and had another shot really well saved, which Ozzy should have scored following up. Feo scored one, helped with two and crossed for the penalty.

    btw was it Coq who had the shot which was handballed? If so, that's so unfair. He deserves a goal for us.

    The team selection was wrong against PDG. Funnily enough today, when we were two goals up against ten men, we ended up with three holding midfielders on the pitch! Which is what we should have done at PSG.

    Iwobi needs to work harder in defence when we lose possession. He was bordering on excellent today though. It was Coq, how frustrating. Should have taken the penalty.

    Santi should take all penalties. If Olly is on the pitch, he should be 2nd choice. Alexis has stuttered and missed every time for us. Dunno why - he's great at everything else. So I can live with his one weakness being penalty taking. Like Ozzy.

    I do hope Iwobi keeps improving. He could be great for us. He's got far more end product than Ox.

    With Feo recapturing some of his sparkle, I quite like our front 3 now. (Front 4 if we include Ozzy.)

    And if Granit can learn to play the Coq role, we could have a decent team shaping up. 2 great FBs, Cech, and 4 decent CHs + Holding.

    Olly from the bench. Though we don't have any to bring on when we need goals other than him. Yes, Rambo. But with Joeal Campbell gone we only have the Ox as an option for an extra winger. {I'm a bit worried about Perez so far.} I would have kept Serge.

    Maybe Jeff will come good. But I worry about Ox. He knows he's out of form, so when he gets a sub appearance, he's got extra pressure to produce. I think his career could soon be over for us. Iwobi's taken his place, and if Olly plays up front, Feo, Iwobi and Rambo are all ahead of him for the wide right spot.

    Yes I was disappointed Perez didn't hit a hat-trick today. He did have five minutes and he blew it.

    Don't forget Jeff Reine-Adelaide. If he isn;t wasted like we wasted Gnabry he could be massive. Better dribbler than anyone if the first team I think, and no weakling.

    I'd like to see Jeff come good. But I'm still worried about letting Serge go. We always used to have loads of attacking wing options to bring on. But with Alexis playing central, and Campbell gone, we now only have Ox. (Though Welbz will be back eventually.)

    I think AW should have kept Serge for 6 months to see if he offered more than Ox does atm.

    I suppose Rambo can come on for any MF or wide position, and with the strikers we have, can go 4-4-2 if need be. (If they are aby good together.)

    I do hope Perez comes good, but Ian Wright on his debut on MotD got me worried. Still, hopefully he'll get a goal soon and crack on.
