Penalty Taker

Who should take penalties if Haaland is not on the pitch?

He isn't our best penalty taker, but like Messi I'd be very surprised if he was taken off them unless he asks to be taken off for the simple reason Pep won't want to undermine him.
 
Sergio would be fine, if he mixed it up a little more. Takes far too many side-footers, low, to the keepers left. He has become a little predictable with them.
 
gabby all day long, if he is not on the pitch KDB or Gund..

Saturday confirmed Sergio needs a break from it. Although if he is the one brought down in the box you try taking the ball off him when its under his arm !
 
Sergio, great striker but shit penalty taker. If he wants to carry on taking them he needs to be a lot more positive and hit the ball with a bit more power

Somebody done some stats research a while back and apparently his success ratio in the PL if not in Europe is fairly good. My impression is that he seems to hit a lot of weak efforts ( Saturday and the LC Pen shoot out /CL last season) and this gives the keeper a good chance of keeping them out. Furthermore he
normally doesn't look that confident approaching the spot. Contrast this to Yaya whom you always expected to score and indeed it would take a really good save by any keeper to keep one of his efforts out. Indeed he once boasted that Joe Hart only managed to stop one of his penalties in their years at City.
 
Nearly 3 years since Aguero's last miss in the league and after the conversion against Watford he is on a current league run of 9 from 9.
 
If he's on the pitch, Gundogan has to be taking them.
