Why does he wear the mask!?
Hopefully this year we won't peak in November and then go downhill with all the injuries

Morata is one of the most overrated players on the planet.

Let's not go fully hyperbole just because of a missed penalty and a poor 20 minutes, but if anyone from Chelsea thinks Morata right now is anywhere near Diego Costa talent wise, they are in for a big nightmare.
 
Boring. The way it was is best. Can't handle the penalty pressure on 100k+ a week? You should be playing for Man City. Or as the Chelsea #1.

Given the amount of trophies the last two numbers 1s have won with us not sure they lack the ability to handle the pressure…

Unless you are José Luis Chilavert you shouldn't be taking (attacking) set pieces. Unless it's by numerical force (running out of defenders to take penalties).

Boring because? It's still penalties, the only difference is that both teams are on equal levels regarding pressure, not on different levels because of a coin flip.

And this way both teams have the same pressure, so you should happy about it. Because if you can't handle it they shouldn't be playing right?

So what is the logic behind this PK format? Is it sticking around? Will it be implemented elsewhere?

Probably try it in the first couple of round of the FA Cup next.

I think it's necessary unless you want to hold penalty kicks at opposite ends of the stadium simultaneously.
