Mike Dean's Penalty Shootout Position

The following incident occurred during the penalty shootout phase of the League Cup Capital One quarterfinal match between Bradford City and Arsenal on Tuesday 11 December 2012. The match finished 1—1, with Bradford advancing 3—2 on penalties. There were 5 YCs.

Notice the positioning of the Referee and the AR

Referee Mike Dean has recently performed magnificently in the EPL (e.g. see Mike Dean Masterclass Display Part 1 and Part 2; as well as Mike Dean's Manchester Delight Part 1 and Part 2). Therefore, it was a big surprise to see this scene (above). Perhaps this is due to the lack of penalty kicks from the mark that Dean and his AR encounters … but still, there should be no excuse for not knowing the standard positioning for kicks from the penalty mark.
