Danny Ings
He's a striker, he's good at darts.Get Ballo back, just for pens
Finally - we have a decent penalty taker..
still a shit penalty thoughI think it's unfair to judge him on that. It was quite a unique high pressure situation where we had the chance to win at a ground we hadn't won at for so long, it was the last action of the game and it was his first chance to justify the then club record fee we had just paid for him which was probably at the forefront of his mind.
I was a bit like that. Imagining the field day some of our fans would have had if he missed.I was a strange feeling around me at the game yesterday when it was realised Sterling was taking it
Obviously we all want to score the penalty but it was as much a feeling of specifically not wanting STERLING to miss
He’s definitely in the hearts of most City fans

Sorry, but I was bricking myself when I saw Raheem stepping up I had little confidence in him. I suppose that and the importance of the goal made the celebration all the better.After all the shit that has been thrown at Sterling this season ,I thought it took a load of guts to take today’s penalty.If he had missed he would not have survived the abuse that would have thrown in his direction,Raheem well done.
Why?The rules should be changed so that the player fouled has to take the penalty, in the case of a handball then the last attacking player to touch the ball should have to take it.
I can add to that. Im left footed and fucking dreadful at them.Somebody once said to me left footers can't take penalties. After seeing Fodens attempt at West Ham I'm beginning to wonder if he was right.
