This. One of the main improvements under Poch has been each individual's understanding of the Team. Whichever of Son/Lamela tried to defy team orders by overriding the designated taker needs to be slapped, and dropped if need be. The team ethos is critical to our play, and that cannot be compromised.
I watched the press conference (can be found here)
In short he is fine with whoever taking it. He has Kane as the main one then a group of 3 players who are allowed to decide for themselves to take the penalties accounting for form and confidence during play. As Pochettino said its better to have two players who both want to take the penalty then everyone cowering out. It was a bad penalty it happens.
