Presumably he was the designated penalty taker? So hardly fair to say he's out of his depth in taking it. Sure he shanks it badly but did you see the misses from the Arsenal players yesterday? Wouldn't describe them as out of their depth.
It's strange to say, as he'll have earnt a lot financially. But joining a top of the championship team who then got promoted was an absolute disaster for him football wise.
Ideal move was probably upper league 1 bottom to mid championship team where he'd play regularly and develop.
I meant the misses from open play, several from inside the six yard box. Man Utd defenders helped but Arsenal really should have scored two or three from open play.

Apparently he took the ball off someone else to take the pen. Not out of his depth, but completely out of confidence and form by the look of it.
Not out of his depth taking a pen, but out of his depth at a PL club. Just rose too high too fast and his confidence must be shot to bits.
Those were saved weren't they?
Al Hamadi was about as wide of the target as you've ever seen someone paid to play football take one.

You can't compare lightening fast moves requiring quick reactions to a guy missing the target by a long way with a free shot from 18 yards.
18 yards

He probably has, as he's missed 7 out of 13 penalties for Country, Man City and Arsenal.
Connor Parsons, Junior Morias, Josh Umerah all on the bench for Dagenham at Millwall. Umerah has come on, at 2-0 down Morias and Parsons might follow
McCarthy confirmed as a U21 professional development coach at Brighton, like someone said a few days ago.
That feels a surprise still, in a week of surprises!

Gape missing tonight's Eastleigh game with injury. Hopefully nothing too serious, poor lad!
