howlinmadmurfdoc Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 Both French players took poor penalties that more than likely cost us a place at wembley,But which one cost us more and why did kermo get crucified but Knocky didn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peach0000 Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 Because Knockaert wasn't a **** he was physically crying afterwards. Knockaert contributed throughout the season as well any one can mis a penalty but not everyones is a **** about their penalty. Knockeart cost us more as we might well have lost anyway after kermos but thats not what defines which one we will like more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB11 Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 Well Knocky's cost us more, but his was genuine error... Kermorgant's was just stupid and cocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchandro Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 Knockaert's cost us more, sorry to say. If he'd have scored we would have been at Wembley, because he missed our season was over. If Kermo had scored we might still have lost the shootout. Those are the facts of the matter I'm afraid. But Knockers isn't crucified because he didn't chip it, it's as simple as that. Yes it was a shocking penalty, but that was more to do with him being nervous than trying to be cocky and show off. He realised the importance of it, probably too much, and it really hurt him to miss and for us to lose. The most important thing that fans ask is you take things as seriously as they do, and that you care about the team winning and losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThurnbyLodgeFox Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 Kermorgant for both Reason being; we had an excellent season that year and deserved to go to Wembley and looked like a team that would survive in the Prem This season, we had a shit second season and didn't really deserve to be in the PO's let alone the final. We're not ready for the Prem so missing was a blessing on disguise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsell1976 Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 I think knockeart deserves a break, he played his heart out and showed at the end how much it hurt and how much it means to him and us. Kermorgants was totally different, knockeart didn't try to show boat. I think a negative response from fans towards knockeart may lose us what is potentially very good player in the future, I think we need to rally around him, show him support, and maybe he will show the same, with his loyalty in return, and to be fair I think most of us are behind him, and appreciated his effort. Back to the poll, the top question is a bit harsh on knockeart, but I voted for his miss costing more, but if the team hadn't have switch off after the miss, maybe it wouldn't have cost so much.

It was going to extra time. What ended our season was the shambolic defending afterwards. That's why Knockaert can't be blamed wholly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry - LCFC Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 People think Knockaert's a **** for missing? WTF?! Reasons why he's in a far superior position to Kermorgant after his miss: Actually contributed to the team this season Took his penalty in the correct manner (although poorly executed) This: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsell1976 Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 I'm pretty sure the whole team were waiting to run into the crowd, not even contemplating the fact we might miss it!Well maybe they should have, people miss penalties, and as professionals they should be switched on till the whistle like Watford were.I am not blaming anybody we weren't good enough to get promoted, and would probably have lost in extra time anyway. The point I'm making is the team switched off, and conceding straight from the miss compounded the anguish for all of us, and ment the penalty miss cost us more than not just scoring, the ensuing break knocked us out of the playoffs. The team all played a part in getting knocked out, not one player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil_LCFC Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 Why is Waghorn's miss not an option ? that was just as costly as Kermo's in fact no point having any vote they all cost us . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grewks Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 If Knocky didn't take it Pearson would of had to get the straws out and get all the players to pick one. They should be all looking at themselves instead of giving the responsibility to a kid. Especially someone like Nuge who has played at a higher level. He took a penalty, he missed. Messi did the same against chelsea in the champions league semi finals last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
