Maguire's looked amazing.

I know the Swansea physio from a few years back. There was a Europa game where Bony smashed it in the top corner. Also looked amazing.

But on the bench they were pissed off with him. It may have been unsaveable but it also reduces the margin of error. The coach advice is always to keep it low.

The keeper dives to his left or his right. He goes to ground. Anything above 5' is going in. If you keep your nerve and concentrate, you should be able to kick a football between 5' and 8' high from 12 yards.

Just giving a first hand anecdote from a top level bench.

They're probably wrong, of course.

if I was talking a high pressure penalty in a final od a major competition I would simply kick the ball straight into the top corner of the goal every time

Really, a penalty shootout should never end.

Nail on head, that’s why they do end, because takers haven’t got the arse to do a Kieffer (or a Maguire) and blast it high into the right or left hand top corner. ‘Keeper can’t save them, but some players like to showboat a bit with Ali shuffles and Fred Flintstone in his car trot ups instead of practising, practising & practising again banging it in the top corner, they’re pro footballers for Christ’s sake, should be a simple task to perfect. Francis Lee had it off to a tee.
