Podcast: P.N.E. (Penalties Never End)
19th September 2024
Well, that’s a record anyway – the longest penalty shootout in English domestic football history, and of course Fulham ended up on the wrong side of it. After a frustrating 90 minutes of action against Preston North End at Deepdale, Fulham’s heavily rotated XI weren’t able to find a winner, and thus ensued one of the most typical stories you could imagine.
We take a look back at the game as a whole, examining the performances of a number of players for better and for worse – Ryan Sessegnon, Reiss Nelson, Rodrigo Muniz, Tom Cairney, Harrison Reed, Sander Berge, Issa Diop, Jorge Cuenca and Steven Benda – before touching on the penalty shootout that dominated the headlines this morning for good measure.
Then we head onwards to Newcastle at the Cottage this weekend – traditionally a game we always struggle in – and take a look at what changes Marco could make, and how we can win the individual battles against a Magpies side that haven’t been playing brilliantly, but keep finding results nonetheless. There’s a quick email to address leadership in this group, before we finish with a special This’ll Catch On written specifically about the Drama at Deepdale last night.
