In tonight's Premier League match, Manchester United will challenge Liverpool away from home. Before the game, Manchester United coach Amorim said that B Fee was still the team's top penalty taker.
B Fee had previously missed penalty kicks against Fulham and Brentford. The media asked Amorim if he would consider changing the penalty kicker. Amorim responded: "No. I know it is not easy for him, but I think he has taken 70 penalty kicks and only missed 9. But 2 of the missed penalties were during my coaching period, which really annoyed me!"
Amorim continued: "But he is very confident, he will practice penalty kicks in training and try to understand that people are paying attention to analyzing his penalty kicks. The way the ball is played. He will be ready. We have other players who can take penalty kicks if needed, but he is our number one penalty kicker. He has scored a lot of goals, but he has had a little problem taking penalty kicks recently. We have other options, but I fully believe that B Fee has taken 29 penalty kicks in the Premier League. The last time a Manchester United player scored a penalty when facing Liverpool away at Anfield was Robin van Persie in the 2012-13 season. Since World War II, Manchester United have only scored three penalty kicks against Liverpool at Anfield. The other two were Dennis Owen (1999) and Roger Byrne (1953).
