I'd be curious to see a stat about % pens that are scored with a stuttered run up against those without.Originally posted by Pat Vegas View Postthey are bloody awful recently.
Maybe just my personal recollection but I seem to see a much larger % missed with the stuttered run up.
Cesc always managed to place his pens the opposite side that the keeper went without the stutter.
I always thinks it show the taker doesn't have the confidence he needs

When the guy does the stuttered run up, why oh why does the keeper move? You know he is waiting for you to move. Just stand your ground and you are facing a soft penalty that will be placed at the last second.Originally posted by WES View PostI'd be curious to see a stat about % pens that are scored with a stuttered run up against those without.

Apparently, Matty Le T used to practise by telling the goalie which way he was gonna hit it. Only missed one during his entire career by all accounts.Originally posted by WES View PostI'd be curious to see a stat about % pens that are scored with a stuttered run up against those without.

1. It's hoping to force your trigger movement, like a step-over can.Originally posted by Peter View PostWhen the guy does the stuttered run up, why oh why does the keeper move?

2. If you wait for the striker to kick it before moving, the ball will always beat you if it's hit into a corner.

As you say, he is waiting for you to move. As soon as you do, you're done. If you don't move, he can't go down the middle and has to pick a side at the last second, with little pace.Originally posted by Ganpati's Goonerz--AFC's Aboriginal Fertility Cult View Post1.

The ball right in the corner will always beat you if it has pace on it. If it doesn't have pace, you are in the game. Move and you are done.
