Penalty Taker

[St.Pauli support]

Pep had a word it seems. Keeper in one corner, ball in the other. Bottom corner.
That's the way a-ha a-ha...

said it before Gabriel all day, league would not have gone to the wire if he had got the ball off Mahrez

The main penalty taker needs to be a regular starter

Gundo or KDB please

Ederson.

Gundogan is the best pk taker at the club. Only penalty I have seen him miss at City was against Wolve in the pre season game in China

Yaya had a perfect record with pens (although I cannot remember him taking many in ‘big games’). I really worry who can be trusted to score them as it can/has been crucial this set

Like many others here I don’t feel 100% confidence when Sergio takes them especially as he has missed many and often mishits them. Not all our players play every game so there needs to be 2 or 3 that can step up. Gundogan seems best but doesn’t play every game. Sterling has improved finishing a lot but still susceptible to poor shooting.

I think KdB has the best qualities to be 1st choice - good technique striking a ball and always seems very calm.

The only others I would feel confident with are Sane (German) and Gabriel - however penalty-takers usually seem to be older players in most teams.

I think Ederson would be good too as he strikes so fast and accurately but think Pep woujd consider the GK taking pens as disrespectful to opposition and of course, issues about opposition counterattacking and scoring

Gabriel? I can't say I share your confidence there.
Gabrial career penalties scored 4/7.
(according to transfermarkt.com)

I'd say De Bruyne would be favourite.

Always find it odd strikers don't really fancy pens....

Jesus and Salah. We're 5th takers ! Striker with free hit at goal goes fifth ! What if other misses meant they never even got their go !

And I, Withnail, but will he start enough games to justify being numero uno?
