I missed it... but was Sturridge also arguing to take the kick?
Here's my thoughts on it:
- Balotelli should take the kick ahead of anyone on the team not named Steven Gerrard. Balotelli is one of the top PKers in the world.
- Balotelli looked like he took the ball out of Henderson's hands after a quick discussion where not much was said
- Henderson realized he was the captain and has some sort of silly fantasy that he is the next Gerrard
- Freak out ensues
- Gerrard is getting senile and racist
- Balotelli cured all by tucking it lower corner and depantsing the goaltender.
- From reading twitter, it looks like most Liverpool fans were 100% behind Balotelli taking the PK ahead of Sturridge or Henderson.
- Sturridge sucks at PKs, has bricked his last two.
- Henderson sucks at striking the ball period.
