Arsenal have won 7 penalties in 20 games in all competitions so far. With 25 league games to go and a conservative estimate of 8 more CL games and 6 FA cup games, we can expect to receive another 14 penalties.
Sadly this doesn't give us enough penalties to allow every member of the squad to receive a pity penalty, so who are the players that will miss out on this crucial morale booster over the course of the season? Will talented youngsters leave the club over being frozen out? How much can be tacked on to a goalkeeper's transfer value if he scores away at Bristol Rovers in the cup 3rd round? Will Arteta selfishly register himself in January to get in on the action?
No big clubs give chance to "Talented Youngsters" if their senior players are all playing well and there is no injury crisis. Giving time to young players isnt a luxury big teams can afford. Its a necessity when situation demands. And we dont really have a world class prospect like Musiala or Saka currently. Are you Lee gunners in disguise?
Can't believe this fun shitpost has been downvoted haha.
I think the solution is players start sharing the penalties a la Titi-Pires. That way the ones who wouldn't be allocated a pen get an assist to boost their value.
