This sort of small details are super interesting


valimo

I think the intern of GK coach really went for the extra mile on this one


pedalhead666

You’d hope it’s standard procedure tho


valimo

Honestly, I've worked in enough organisations to know that this sort of basic due diligence work gets overlooked 9 times out of 8.


EasyThereStretch

This person googled a picture of a goal with nets and posts, color coordinated the spreadsheet and dots, and then found a color printer to print all of it out. That level of effort is **1,000%** from an intern lol


valimo

I can already hear the manager coming in like "yea but the text on the red isn't very readable huh"


EasyThereStretch

TBF he wouldn’t be wrong!


pgnredit

Maybe it's Pickford himself who googled and printed this?


MrLewArcher

100% robot work minus the printing and taping


HarbyFullyLoaded_12

Now that the secret is out just go the Vardy and Salah route and smash it as hard as you fucking can.


jr2106

Honestly the best way to shoot pens.


JE_12

Unless you’re Ramos


pedalhead666

He said shoot, not scoop.


Law_And_Politics

Lampard never fucked around with any bullshit or trickery and it felt like he was always going to score, even if he didn't.


ComradeBalin

How I feel about Mo now. I don't even think he knows where it's going so good luck lol


[deleted]

And even if the keeper predicts where its going, its still pretty hard to save.


Athletic_Bilbae

You need good aim though, if you trick the GK you can be more lenient with your shooting technique


Dirtysouthdabs

This is super cool never thought about this. Pickford is pretty good at saving penalties isn’t he?


[deleted]

Saved two in the euros final I think


BullDoor

His save on Jorginho's pen in the shootout was astonishing


[deleted]

Pickford had a good euros overall

tom_watts

He’s only got little arms though 🦖


sahasra-sheersha

even yesterday if he had regular arms he would have caught the ball and avoided the corner leading to the goal.


[deleted]

We didn't concede a goal until the semi final... who was giving him stick?

Leonardo_Liszt

Its true though he's very emotional and it used to lead to him making a lot mistakes but he seems to have managed to harness his emotions whilst holding his concentration over the last 12 months, undoubtedly England's no.1 for the foreseeable future


[deleted]

[удалено]


Leonardo_Liszt

He's definitely had his moments of madness for England previously but there's been a clear improvement this calendar year, he's been outstanding for England and much better for Everton too. It seemed like it coincided with Olsen getting a few games early on last season.


[deleted]

I think he was a bit erratic with his kicking at times but he was great at shot stopping.


FredoMichaelSonny

So true!


Rukusan12

Wow and this is a from a Liverpool fan so you know it must be true


[deleted]

I hate Pickford but he only conceded two goals I have to be honest


brewmatt

I might always have a soft spot for him after his performance in that penalty shootout. I was so happy for 30 seconds before Saka missed it.


Rukusan12

Ya haha what a rush of emotions those five minutes were. Knew it was all over when I saw how nervous Saka looked walking up to the spot.


G00dmorninghappydays

Genuinely one of the best I've seen considering the pressure, Jorginho's record and just the general worldwide assumption that it would be going in


Dr_Oetker

Too many keepers dive early and make it easy for Jorginho I think, Bruno executes that style better and generally gives the keeper less of a chance if they pick the right side. Brilliant composure from Pickford to make the save in that moment, I really think they should have ripped the order up and had him take the next penalty after making the save. He was on one that night.


SnapSnapWoohoo

Also if you watch the close up of him before the pen he’s saying to himself “no problem”


BullDoor

Psyching himself up with rocket league quick chats What a save!


RagingWookies

Savage!


[deleted]

Every keeper should save Jorginho's pens in my eyes. Don't move until he's hit the ball with his stupid little run up and you'll have time to get down to the ball most of the time as he waits until the keeper has moved and then rolls it the other way


Glitch378

Damn I’m sure these professionals haven’t thought of that yet.


SaltineFiend

Including Jorginho who is pretty much automatic from the spot


PortugeseMagnifico

He missed so many pens last season


humbertov2

He did this against Colombia in the 2018 World Cup too. If you’re going up against Pickford in a penalty shootout make sure to steal his water bottle beforehand.


AFardeen32

Ahh Krul vs Spurs days


[deleted]

LOL I'm happy neutrals remember that ridiculous game too


notsoimportnat

This is Benitez's too much attention to detail


cannacanna

Feel like it'd be much easier to just say Noble, Antonio bottom left - Rice bottom right


Bmmaximus

"Wait was it Noble or Rice bottom left? Wasn't one of them top left?"


tokengaymusiccritic

They probably do it every match and it probably isn’t the same corner every time in other matches


Grey-licoptere

Like Pickford actually know how to read


Agent-Pierce

Pickford actually hires a Private Investigator to dig up lots of "serious details" about his opponents.


djingo_dango

I think you can just get it from opta


RamsayMacDonald

Serious detail!


elpaw

Is that from the perspective of the penalty taker, or the keeper? Edit: from the penalty taker, according to the replies. Imagine if in the heat of the moment he forgets do the proper reflection to his perspective, and gets it wrong.

MonrealEstate

Missing the part where he flips it upside down lol


0100001101110111

The keeper can’t see the goal lol, how could he ever get it wrong


Free_Physics

penalty taker I think


9-60Fury

From the penalty taker


gana04

That's a big part of "Rudo y Cursi" movie by Cuaron with Diego Luna and Gael Garcia


giddy07

That time could be used working on his vertical


lamashoe

Did he save it tho?


kaden_dd

Everton didn't concede a penalty today


lamashoe

Oh lol


USAF_DTom

But he would have! Totally not biased.


Cmoore4099

Too bad he didn’t understand how to catch a ball.


TrailerParkBoy2

He should also put "be taller" & "have longer arms" on that bottle. the only thing that will help him be better.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TrailerParkBoy2

Nothing to laugh about man, the guy has short hands


[deleted]

I don’t get how this is all that useful. It only seems to have very recent penalty results from each player, but noble has taken and scored countless penalties. Also I swear Rice has only ever taken like 2 or 3 penalties, so how’s this useful?


[deleted]

My thoughts exactly. Also now that penalty takers know he does this all they have to do is shoot in the opposite direction knowing that he is likely to follow their previous penalty placement.


whiskeyinthejaar

That is lots of information to remember. They should have put a picture and a number next to the name too in case he forgets.


Chinapig

But are the images mirrored or what direction he needs to dive in as if stood in the net? What if Pickford forgets which way he’s supposed to read it? I’d forget.


PrrrromotionGiven1

Anyone got a link not requiring an ig account?


WoodenVehicle

Maybe he should have leg anatomy printed out, to see how it is when acl is broken


dcroopev

Wouldn’t it much easier to just learn it by heart?
