Penalties, an unforeseen event for Lampard

The designated penalty shooter at Chelsea was, without a doubt, Jorginho. However, his latest errors from 12 yards have led Lampard to start doubting him.

He was a very effective penalty taker. But he has a 50% success rate in his last four penalties. In fact, he had only missed one penalty until this season, since he started taking them in Italy.

His mistakes against Liverpool and Krasnodar have led Lampard to start doubting him. Or so the former player and current Chelsea coach says after the match against the Russians.

"Jorginho has had an incredibly successful rate of scoring penalties in his career, particularly at Chelsea. My feeling is that when you take as many penalties as he has, there can be periods when you miss one and sometimes there can be periods when you miss one or two. I experienced that as a player," he explained.

The fact that the other penalty Chelsea took against Krasnodar was not taken by Jorginho, who was already substituted at the time, and was taken by Timo Werner, has only added to the doubts surrounding the Italian midfielder.

Jorginho has kicked 25 penalties in his career as a professional. He has scored 22 and missed three, two of them in one month. With Chelsea, up until the penalty that Alisson stopped, he was six for six. He made up for it with a double penalty against Crystal Palace, and then came the Champions League failure.
