It's a sign of nothing really, GK can't read your body language and is thrown off. You also think less about it and place the ball instinctively. Might not work for some but GK's across the world know that myself, James Beattie etc. have no weakness. |

I leave nothing to chance. Every time my eyes move in the build up to a penalty it's designed to alter the GK's thinking. Beattie and co leave too much to chance for my liking. |

Perhaps I shouldn't have liked KOL's post...I advocate keeping an eye/the psychological battle with the keeper, but I like the idea of turning your back to goal until the whistle is blown. Saying that, it's not necessary, just focus on someone in the crowd... |

Personally when I'm taking a penalty the last thing I want to do is get involved in a psychological battle with the GK. The goal is a lot bigger than the person guarding it, the advantage is already with the kicker. You can focus on something else I suppose but sometimes it can be hard to tell yourself not to think about something when it's right in front of you, consciously or subconsciously I'm bound to start thinking about the GK's next move. Focusing on something else also feels like a sign of weakness more so than turning your back imo, if the GK looks up and sees your face looking into the distance he might think you're phased by the situation. When he looks up and sees you with your back turned he's more likely to be thrown off for a split-second. Turning your back is like wearing sun-glasses in a poker match to me, can't lose a psychological battle when you're not involved in one. I know it worked for Beattie (and myself, although you only have my word), the guy barely ever missed a penalty and regularly sent the GK the wrong way if memory serves me correctly. |

Just had a look, Beattie has the second best conversion rate in PL history (94%). Only Danny Murphy has a better record with 95%. |
