I'm amazed at the approach taken to Luka's pen miss and that of Benteke. Where are the cries that Luka should never play for us again and to sell him January because he took a poor penalty?? I'm not Luka's biggest fan but nor am I his smallest. He's playing well at the moment and his goal was a fantastic finish. Long may it continue. However, its taken him nearly a quarter of the season to get back to this form and he was one of our poorest players at the start of the season when he actually got a game. If he keeps up his current form then he rightly deserves his place in the side, and long may it continue. To laud him as our best signing for years though is a bit premature Doesn't matter how small you are but you are talking balderdash!

To laud him as our best signing for years though is a bit premature Because it’s a completely different incident. Luka had up until that point a great record from the spot, he was also our designated penalty taker, and he had been working hard and playing well apart from the miss. Benteke has been crap and stole the ball from the designated taker who at that point hadn’t missed a pen for us and was castigated rightly so.

Great to see his passion. A saved penalty is still a missed penalty and why did he change his style when taking this compared to other spot kicks.

Luka plays with passion. That yell at the end of the game was utter relief for him and meant a lot to many of us. An outburst of blood red emotion showing his true grit and gut felt passion for our club. Good stuff. Good to see these type of feelings in this day and age.

He does send them straight down the middle sometimes and if you watch carefully he slips slightly as he is about to kick - probably the difference between along the ground or in the air above the keepers legs

Himself said he changed his mind where to hit it! Guess he never gonna do that again. Long may his penalty duty for Palace last.

Probably no need to open a debate over the difference between missed and saved penalties eh?! Of course not, a save is when the goalie stops the ball going in the net, a miss is when the ball is off

Too many grey areas already in life isn’t there? Better to keep this one black and white isn’t it?; If a goal is awarded when the ball crosses the line; and the goalkeeper saves the shot preventing a goal, then your effort by very definition, is a miss as it is a failure to reach past the line.
