the ball and give it a good wack?

Which is why every other kind of player grows on trees whereas decent forwards are always hard to find, whichever club you are.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

The blame on the player. If Neuer dives the other way Özil is a hero.

[redgunamo]

On balance, whereas it is the penalty taker's business to score, it isn't necessarily the keeper's job to stop him.

[Berni]

entirely on sending the keeper the wrong way.

So it rather falls down if the keeper doesn't. :-(

the corner of the net rather than 1 yard to the left/right at a tame pace and easily saveable height.

Other than missing the goal completely, I'm not sure if he could have taken a worser one.

[redgunamo]

The real solution is more likely to be that he is not much of a goalscorer anyway and he was apparently best mates with Manuel Neuer at school :homer:
