Anyone know why Adel took the penalty today?

[qpr76]

.... opposed to Helguson.

[MYU]

Good question and Helguson scored just then and felt he should have taken it.

It could have been to confuse their keeper?

[W12_Ranger]

Someone said to me whoever gets fouled doesn't take the pen, I think this stands true for the penalties awarded this season.

[Kevster269]

Gotta agree with MYU.
All the keepers know Helguson has put them all the keepers left this season, the Keeper is ready....and up steps Taraabt, mental battle won before he even kicks the ball I reckon!

[Devon Park Ranger]

To be honest im glad he took it as im sure the keepers have now almost sussed Helgusons cheeky pens out, so its good to mix it up a bit

I think your right.

[Fez]

Yeah I've noticed when Helguson gets fouled Taarabt has been taking it and vice versa!

[UB5 Ranger]

I was a bit annoyed that Tarrabt took the penalty today as his performance didn't warrant a goal and HH was superb today, oh well another under par performance and another 3 points

[OnFM_Rob]

I asked Warnock after the Boro game if he decides on the penalty taker, he said it's up to the players so if Taarabt picks the ball up then Helguson either leaves him to it or has to try and get it off him and vice versa. Seems to be working so far!

[qblockoompah]

thierry henry had a rule that if he got fouled he wouldnt take the penalty,so maybe you are right w12

[swanleyhoop]

I'd agree with what someone else said, HH's penalties are quite predictable, and the last one was nearly saved; their keeper might have been quite confident as a result, but AT then taking it left him with no idea of where it was going to go.
It's nice to have so many players on the pitch who can take pens -- Buzz takes a good one too.

[HammersmithR]

I like the idea of mixing it up to be honest. Just confuses the keeper. Still think Buz is the best at pens at the club.

Saying that though I played a game in the week and got fouled in the box. Suffice to say, I took the pen and sent the keeper the wrong way! : )

[Dazzer1977]

Think we have a think going on at the club that whoever gets the Penalty doesn't take it. Adels penaltys have all been when HH has been brought down.

[Sam-QPR]

there was a penalty the other day where helguson was fouled and he took it

[Stanley]

Should never have been a pen in the first place as the ref should have played the advantage and waited 2 seconds. HH was robbed of a perfectly good goal.
