What we've seen this season is that if something that will enhance performance is available, some players will indulge... unless the penalty is an absolute deterrent.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are no opportune times for a penalty, and this is not one of those times.
I could give 48 penalties in every match if I wanted to. It is a question of sometimes choosing what is - in your own mind - of material importance and what isn't, what might be a crucial potential penalty and what might not be.
Staying out of the penalty box will really help.
We're looking as far ahead as we can, and we don't get penalized for mistakes.
You can take 100 penalties in training, but when you go out on that pitch in front of all those people and the television cameras, it's completely different.
I always practise penalties, but what people don't understand is that you can never recreate that pressure situation that you're under.
You want to play in every game, and you especially don't want to be in the penalty box for five minutes and give the other team a chance to get a power play, and you don't want to hurt anyone on the other team.
It is a great boost for confidence in a squad when there is not just one or two players scoring goals, but the whole team is contributing.
The stiffer the penalty, the greater the message is sent.
Only the man who has enough good in him to feel the justice of the penalty can be punished.
