Looks dumb as hell, but keepers pick a corner probably 19 out of 20 times. Those 19 pens through the middle look so composed and controlled.
Looks like Pickford had done his homework, although I don’t know how often Maddison does that.

He is attention seeker. Does that rubbish all the time.
Pickford, you're losing mate.
FFS!!! Let Vardy take it, you ****!
Felt like just a weird penalty even if the keeper dives to a side
Everyone's burying the penalty, but it's a pretty normal 'down the middle' pen as far as I can see.
Of course if the keeper stands there, you look stupid. That's the gamble, but it usually works.

Christ what an absolutely WOEFUL penalty........ Come on Leicester, how I'd love to see the bluescouse go down..........
Got to laugh at commentators. Alan smith giving it "terrible penalty" but if pickford had dived it would have " straight down the middle, cool as you like" 
Pickford looking confident after that terrible penalty miss. Roll on part II.!
It’s just a shite penalty
I really really hope we don't go in for him in the summer. I'd rather keep De Gea.
This is fair. I think given dcl earlier one down the middle, I was at least expecting some power on it, even if it was down the middle. It seemed very tame even for one that goes down the middleGot to laugh at commentators. Alan smith giving it "terrible penalty" but if pickford had dived it would have " straight down the middle, cool as you like"
Then so is every panenka and every other variant of sticking it down the middle and hoping the keeper dives.
Why's Maddison taking pens over Jim Vardy?
I was thinking that. It's just so rare to see a penalty down the middle saved that it naturally looks a bit shit.
I'd completely understand if it was like Martinez Vs Bruno in the last minute.Or even if its a save that keeps Everton in the lead.
But they're losing and aren't exactly on top of the game
It did but you don’t really have to do much more than pass it down the middle if the keeper dives.
Don't think it was pressure. I don't think he was aiming for the corner and ended bang in the middle. Maybe meant to get more height on it, but he was probably banking on a movement by the keeper, which they nearly always do. So yeah it looks shocking but if you go central it can happen, I'd put it down to good keeping to sense that, because in the reverse situation you look a mug if you dive really early and they roll it in the middle. It's just the gamble that takers and keepers take.
xG Leicester 2.4 Everton 2.78.
Bonkers match…..and it’s only half time.
Bonkers match…..and it’s only half time.
But if you hit it so hard without height you aren’t giving the keeper time to dive. Especially when so many wait as long as they can now before diving
Everton penalty would have been saved if goalie didnt move as well. Every penalty thats saved is a shite penalty
Christ, no. Pickford is not the answer
Despite his penalty miss, Maddison is such a class player. Be interesting to see where he ends up next season. Definitely a top 4 player, in my opinion.
We have assembled an absolute disgraceful set of players. For all the talk about Dyche, Lampard etc., there have been so many disgusting individual errors and lapses of concentration from people on 50k+ per week wages which have led to us losing games or dropping points. From Gueye dropping clangers to stupid sending offs from people like Doucoure or sloppy passes from people like Iwobi and Keane giving away penalties consistently. Just a load of absolute shite and I hate them all.
Seeing the replay, Pickford does really well. He feigns he's gonna go one side, but then stands up. It's fantastic goalkeeping
It might be me, but it seems that high stakes penalties get buried down the middle more often than not.
Pickford did well to read it and stand his ground.
The ones down the middle look a lot worse, though.
Everton going down like.....fecking Everton 
@SilentWitness
@SilentWitnessThe one thing I'd say for maddison is the height of his kick. Think low down the middle or higher like dcl gives the keeper a tougher job even if he stands still. But Pickford did a fantastic job of standing still in the end
Why was Keane in his defence pointing at a part of the arm that was incriminating him rather than not
Your ownership makes ours look half competent.
If Everton do end up going down then we should definitely move in for Pickford, great keeper!
When he was making his plea to the ref?
Think he completely forgot that's a penalty area haha
Bad looking injury for Coleman, awful follow through challenge. Mad match Leincester was truly awful in the first 20 minutes yet could easily be 3-1 in front at half time. That probably says more about the current state of Everton.
Plus that fecking face and haircut
I love Pien but she's a far better presenter than a commentator.
Maddison is really good
Hopefully we get Maddison on the cheap in the summer
HaDon't even think about saying anything wrong about Roy!!
Young Vardy would have got that cross
