Henderson is a terrible penalty taker.
As for the other two - who's to say they put themselves forward?

Said upthread but weird throwing two players on that haven’t kicked a ball all night to take pens. Weird putting the last one on the shoulders of a kid.
Yeah it’s harsh, their feet haven’t ‘warmed up’ with contact on the ball yet and then they have to make a single precise shot. That said, they were chosen for a reason, whether it’s performance at practice or gung-ho energy on the bench, so they probably earned and coveted the right to be out there taking their single chance.
Alternatively, a cynic might say the managers chose to protect certain players’ value from the possible risk of a missed major penalty like that. We’ll never know.

I’m not a mega fan, but surprisingly a bit gutted about that.
Would have had grealish, Shaw, and left Henderson on for pens personally.
