It was a catastrophically bad peno though Fab. And I knew 100% he would miss, he was just exuding this shit peno vibe. That's not to say he is a shit peno taker, but it is hard not to be influenced by that howler. I'd have Kuyt and Gerrard before him just on the back of that.
Plus, he isn't remotely clinical in front of the onion bag generally. A brilliant player who will always score a share because of his unpredictability, but not the sort for whom time seems to slow when facing the keeper.

It was a bad pen but i'm sorry, that doesn't make him bad at pens. And so far he hasn't had the chance to show his talents much for us in 1 on 1s because normally we pss it around quickly and it ends with a tap in. His first goals for us was a classy 1-on-1. He could have hit it harder but he still rounded the keeper. He would have rounded the keeper is richardson hadn't fouled him. The same game he tried an audacious lob that nearly came off when he was 1 on 1. I really don't get where this idea he's shit at 1 on 1s comes from

I'm with Doc on this, I think he's bang on. It shouldn't detract from his overall quality, but I don't think he's a clinical striker, certainly not when he has the time to think about it. He's had a few one on one situations and he doesn't seem to have the composure to hit it early and place it, he's missed a couple, though tbf he scored the ones against Wigan (just) and Fulham.
Don't take it as major criticism of him anyway, he's a great player.
