Don't think Parker has dealt with it well. The problem with Panekas is you do look stupid when they go wrong but that shouldn't effect whether you take them or not. If Lookman regular takes penalties in training using Panekas and more conventional penalties and consistently scores more with Panekas then he should go with that regardless of whether he will look stupid if he misses.

Parker's message by criticising him basically says if you are going to get it wrong get in wrong in the way everyone else would , not a greatt message to a flair player. Listening to the commentary when they played Palace Tony Gale (I think) kept saying they need to take more risk
Could be that Lookman was thinking of his pictures in the paper as he calmly chip the ball in in the last seconds and was over cocky and made the wrong choice for personal vanity, frustrating for Parker but deal with it private and say what a great flair player he is in public

He's young, and he's learnt the hard way. Bet your ass he won't do it again.

If he smashed it down the middle, it would still be a gamble that the keeper would dive. Keepers always dive, especially with stoppage time penalties - fans would be in uproar if the keeper didn’t move and striker slotted to his left or right ha.

On the penalty, people saying ‘smash it’ but plenty of players miss penalties by smashing it, they too can miss hit the ball on the strike or the keeper could save it. It’s just less common to see a panenka so it’s talked about more. Smash it reeks off no control and nerves. Give me Lookmans cool/calm approach everytime at the spot.

I think the problem was really in execution, a muddled mind as he ran up. If you’re going to do it, do it properly and it will work most times.

Vive le Roy!

I don’t know, but as a goalkeeper coach for the opposition I tell him to stand still if he does that most of the time and he’ll save 19 out of 20
