He was shitting himself.

Gervinho won't be able to take this for a while.

All over, poor Gervinho is the poor guy to miss....so predictable

This Zambia manager is a knob.

That's y's man you're bad mouthin

worst case scenario. All the confidence from last game...

Gervinho's lack of confidence is more worrying than the miss...

Lol y look at his tribal dance thingy

The guy is an absolute total git.

Kind of gutted for Ivory Coast even though I don't begrudge Zambia.

oh man. it doesn't say much when your team picks you as their 9th pen taker, after the CB. gutted for him, but at the same time, kinda pissed off that we're relying on this guy to score goals for us. like i've said, he's just not good at kicking footballs. and yet, chamakh is twice as bad!

Na, he'll definitely go into his shell for a while. Wenger will have his head in his hands, Gerv's fragile player at the best of times.

So obvious Gervinho was going to miss. I don't think the guy could strike a ball cleanly and on target if his life depended on it.

Fuck, that was as bad as it could get for Gervinho and us. Poor Kolo as well... You'd hope he can get over it quickly but I don't see it, that's going to kill him.

And next time we have a shoot-out he has to be 11th choice!

They didn't pick him 9th, he was the 9th player to volunteer. Which is even worse.

I know it's hard to believe, but I've seen Chamakh take a few important penalties, and they've always been good ones.

Toure ran 100 meters to take the most telegraphed penalty ever.

lol i thought he was just going to smash it through the keeper when i saw his approach. i love kolo, so i'm glad he wasn't technically the one who blew it.

Gervinho should go away now and work tirelessly to make sure that never happens to him again.

I was hoping kolo will take the fall... what in fact happened is really bad for us. We could have avoided it.
