Been delighted to see him go nowhere near our pens so far.
Prior to him joining all I ever heard about was how good he was at pens. All I ever actually saw him do was miss while doing a silly hop.
He scored a good one in the Emirates Cup.
Unfortunately most of his pen miss were in crucial moments: the euro finals, the pen misses that sent italy out of the world cup, prior to that he has a good pen record. All in all, I still wouldnt trust him to take pens in crucial moment. Right now the person i would love to see take our pens is Havertz, Saka makes me nervous too
We already have Saka, Odegaard and Havertz for penalties.
Saka is what 7 out of 8. Anyway that missed penalty in October was the first one in the Om for Arsenal since 2016
Didn’t Auba miss one then score the rebound a few years ago?
Yeah at home in 21/22. Emi was beginning to annoy me by that point so I found it extremely amusing.
Havertz only gets them as a consolation prize for his shit performances
You really commenting this from a sample size of one
Havertz has the best penalty record of those who take penalties for the team.
Ye except he’s at something stupid like 17/18. Literally one of the best records in the world. But keep on keeping on with your GNEV rhetoric, you sound super smart.
Saka doesn’t take very good penalties though. His record is decent on a small sample size but you can see they usually aren’t that well placed.
in another universe, jorginho scores the pen against england in the euro finals and saka is spared from all the nonsense that came with his pen miss
As an Italian arsenal fanatic I wish that happened. My heart sank when I saw him walking up to take it
I like to think he grew as player after that pen. He didn’t shy away from taking our pens and he appreciated all the support he got from arsenal club and its fans.
But then he probably wouldn’t go Super Saiyan Saka after that
Are they trying to beat Martin Palermo’s record or something?
Obviously just a blip in an otherwise good penalty record. Prob the best taker in our squad
Havertz better
That sounds ill advised
