It could have been better, but he still hit it powerfully enough to be a problem
There was a couple of them. I think it was chelseas second maybe? Kelleher practically jumped over it
Kelleher had a strange technique. He stayed in the middle completely motionless, didn't even spread his arms out and make himself big. And chose a side just before the kick.
Not a great technique really. We're quite lucky that our takers were excellent, and that Kepa eventually skied his penalty. I didn't see Kelleher saving a single penalty with that technique.

Its nonchalance and calmness personified. Borderline apathetic.
I loved it.
I'd imagine he studied the pens prior, and dived the most common way that person takes pens. Was it lehmann at arsenal who had a list at one penalty shootout?
For keepers it's hard at pens. No point trying to mindgame if the opposition aren't going to fall for it.
I'm with Mish on this. We all know about Jorginho but a number of other players also used his shuffle-then-kick technique against Kelleher and it worked every time.
That said, the lad was brilliant overall and I wouldn't want to mess about too much with what he does. Let Kelleher be Kelleher.

Not sure calm keepers are the best at saving penalties. The crazy ones like Dudek and Barthez seem to be better at it.
Think one of Alisson's weaknesses was that he wasn't good at penalties. Over the last couple of years, have seen him trying to be more disruptive on the line, and his record has improved a lot since.
That shithouse Kepa was standing so near to his right, but Virgil sent his shot there anyway. Kepa couldn't even get near it. Virgil then gave him a fuck off look. It was amazing to watch the confidence Virgil had.
He looked really irritated the entire evening though, even when he was doing the post match interview. Wonder what had ticked him off.
Just checked again. He didn't but that pic almost makes it look like he did
I thought that exact thing
Scan today. But even a grade 1.. which is 1-2 weeks on a normal player, is 10-20 weeks for Thiago.
Its thoughts and prayers time.
I hated it. Looked like he'd already decided he wouldnt save a single penalty. I'd have felt much more confident with that shit talking monkey Kepa in goal. (Though I obv know nothing about goalkeeping).
Thought he was rather fortunate. It could have ended quite badly if Chelsea had better finishing. But he's young, will get better etc.
Love it !
Jorginho always does a little "soft shoe shuffle" to make the keeper commit himself before he actually strikes the ball. Mo was presumably trying to get into his head.
Ah I suspected something like that ..cheers 🙂
This will get a like when it’s 20 7 8 3 9 5 2
He was obviously just about to hand it in to the plod.
Yes. You can see he’s yelling at one there to come pick it up
