A good penalty isn't saved even if the keeper goes the right way, and Salah was asking to miss it with that stupid run up.
Pick a spot that you know you can hit, and put it there with as much pace as you can.

Isnt that the same run up Salah has used since he joined Liverpool?

I'm sure he has a very good pen conversion rate for them too.

He changes it a bit - the last two he has come at an angle that meant is only going one way


Sometimes he is a bit straighter

He has missed a few but he has also scored them in the biggest game of his career

Just happened to see this.

Other current Premier League stars are just outside the >90% gang for penalty success. Harry Kane has scored 30 of his 34 Premier League penalties, with a success rate of 88%, while Mohamed Salah‘s scored 18 of his 20 Premier League penalties (90%).

Salah's record is pretty good then.

Not sure where those stats come from. My research indicates he has scored 18 out of 22 PL penalties (82%), missing against Huddersfield (17/18), Leicester (21/22), Bournemouth (22/23) and Arsenal (22/23).

Still a much better record than what I could achieve.

Kane scored 32 out of 36 in PL (89%)

Shearer was 55 out of 59 (93%)

Sterling is 3 out of 7 (43%)

Mahrez is 13 out of 19 (68%)

You're right - although the article says it was published two days ago, their numbers are only up-to-date to around February at the latest. Salah has missed has last two, in March and April, while Kane has scored two his last two, also in March and April.

Yeah they got Shearer wrong too - he should be in their top ten. God knows who their numbers guy was.
