He was an important, crucial player for us.
But his penalty record was 33%.
Marcus Rashford, 87%.
Well, they were, you know, evidence-based.
Now, if we're not going to go that route, then we just toss a coin and go back to what we were doing for years before.
So, you know, had we left Raheem on and not used Marcus, you know, had Raheem missed, and maybe he would have scored, but had he missed, we'd have been going, well...
It's 33%.
Of course.
Yeah, and that's fair because you've still got to factor in all those aspects and clearly only being on the pitch for a very short period isn't helpful, but...
That's a big percentage shift, and there's plenty of World Cup final Argentina put Dybala on in the last minute.
He takes penalty scores.
Nobody's talking about it.
When Harry Kane missed his second penalty against France in Qatar, some people said, oh, you shouldn't have let him take a second pen.
There's two parts to that.
In the World Cup final, Mbappe scored three.
And then also, if we hadn't let Kane take it and we'd let somebody else take it and he'd missed, can you imagine what... So again, as a leader, you've got to accept that people will judge on the outcome.
But to your point about the poker player that came in, his point to us was, you had a good hand there, you were right to play the hand, you lost it, but if you play that hand ten times, you're going to win eight of them.
So you've got to gamble on the hand you had.
Well, I played the hand I had.
Well, we had that meet like eight months later.
