Penalty Taker

[Cotswold Knight]

The worrying thing about all these penalties being missed is that it could cost us in the CL, especially if we end up in a penalty shootout

 

[Withnail]

We really need to get this sorted. 8 missed pens in a season and a half is terrible.

Despite Kev's miss earlier in the season, still think he is our best option.

 

[mdj0520]

I reckon rodri has a decent penalty. Will just smash it.

 

[Plain Speaking]

Why isn't Ederson in the vote option? It's already come out he's the best penalty taker in the squad. I imagine he would be as cool and precise as Yaya. We are currently missing over half of our penalties. I thought Pep liked to show imagination to solve problems. I am confident Ederson would be successful.

 

[Ric]

On the few occasions I’ve seen Bernardo take them in shoot-outs, he’s put them away pretty confidently from what I can recall?

 

[BlueNirvana]

Penalties, we laugh in the face of penalties

 

[Blue Feather]

Looking like Bernardo, Phil or Cancelo for me but I'd love to see Eddie take one!

 

[ws01]

Gundogan's short angled run technique with no follow through is awful. Will see him miss penalties consistently, limits his power and placement too much.

Like has already been said - if it's not KDB, get someone in there who won't fuck around. Just belt the damn thing.

 

[Citizen in Pakistan]

Foden has a good penalty, considering how bad our record is, we might as well hand the duties to him

 

[christened at st marks]

Give Eddie a go

 

[bluetonium]

Eddie is being serious considered by Pep for the next one. But if Foden can hit a ball like that last goal..

 

[mcfc_ms]

Had Rodri ever taken one for us? He’s pretty calm under pressure and takes a decent shot

 

[Deleted member 77198]

I’d still let Gundogan take them. His technique was good yesterday, he just hit it too hard

Would probably end up even higher than Gundo's yeaterday

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Zinchenko has a fair shot on him, also scored previously in a shootout. If everyone else keeps missing he might be worth considering, but prob behind Phil, Bernie and Cancelo at present.

 

[Sergio<3]

Messi or Haaland

 

[NMB]

When Yaya and Mario took penalties you knew they would score. Maybe one of them could return as a consultant

 

[jayfx]

It's obviously hard to say, who should take our penalties, without being there and seeing them in training. However, there must be someone that can consistently hit the target from 12 yards out. Mario was a penalty specialist because of bursting confidence. He just knew he'd score as soon as a penalty was awarded. In our current squad, however, we're looking around at who's going to take it with nobody really wanting it. Even Jesus (when he plays), our only recognised fit striker doesn't want to know.

Personally, I think there's a shout for Mahrez taking them. He comes across as the most confident (possibly smug) out of everyone.

 

[Cellarite]

Why, Schmeichel used to take them for Denmark and Villa.
Have 3 back incase Eddie misses it.
I reckon he would put so much power in it that the keeper would refuse to go in between the sticks for fear of taking his head off.

I think he took one for Denmark and never took one for Villa during a match.

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

I think he took one for Denmark and never took one for Villa during a match.

I feel a bit foolish then.
Thank you for the update
