Lennon's penalty kick anger
For five years the lack of a reliable penalty taker has dogged the club with only Scott Brown showing some consistency from the penalty spot.
In 2008 Barry Robson saw a penalty saved against Alborg in the Champions League with Aiden McGeady, Scott McDonald, Georgios Samaras, Anthony Stokes and Gary Hooper all proving less than reliable from 12 yards out.
Kris Commons did score a priceless penalty against Spartak Moscow in the Champions League but Charlie Mulgrew’s failure yesterday was the third miss out of five from the penalty spot this season.
“I am sick of us missing penalties,” Lennon stated. “I am sick of it, for some reason Charlie decided to side-foot it when I wanted him to put his laces through it.
“Charlie Mulgrew is the best dead-ball player I’ve seen for a long, long time, certainly in Scotland, and he is one of the best in Britain.
“I was amazed he side-footed it, I thought he would have whipped it or put a bit of power in it.
“Again, we seem to change our mentality when it comes to penalties. I don’t know how many we have missed in my time as manager.
“I am not pointing the finger at Charlie because there was still a long way to go in the game.
“That was a game-changer, but our reaction was poor from the second and third goals onwards. We seemed to lose our discipline a little bit and it is not like us.”
