Penalty Taker

It's been close at times but Aguero hasn't missed one in league games for over 3 years. Under Pep in the league he is 12 from 13 and a conversion rate of 92.30%. His all time record in league games is 87.09% That's excellent for a player with a long-term record of penalties when the average is about 78%.

87.09% Aguero (27/31)

Better than:
86.36% Kane (19/22)
85.86% Ronaldo (79/92)
85.41% Lampard (41/48)
83.07% Messi (54/65)
82.75% Mario (24/29)
80.43% Shearer (37/46)

Just short of:
88.88% Henry (24/27)
88.88% Lewandowski (24/27)

In the league his record is great. Weirdly in Europe it’s the opposite. Not sure why.

the obvious one to take the pens is ederson. but pep feels it shows no respect to the other team . ffs. scoring the pen and helping to win the game is more important than the feelings of the opposition is it not?

God help us if we get a penalty on Sunday.

I will be hid behind the sofa until its taken.

Why cant Kev just take em, the best dead ball player in the league.

Sorry mate I don't think we need a coach. Name me a team that has won more penalty shoot outs than us in recent years?

shoot-outs are fine, but in game pens, we've had a fair few misses

Var will make sure this debate is a waste of time guys ;-)

Ya Ya was the best we had at taking Penalties. Can’t see us getting any at Anfield even if it’s a blatant one, not with Oliver Hardy in charge and VAR.

Well we didn't have VAR but you were right about not getting the pens with Ollie Bottler! I hope we get Stan Laurel to ref the game at The Etihad.

Jesus missed yet another one for Brazil this time. Surely that’s him done on pens now.

Gundo if he’s on, Sergio otherwise.

Gundogan always looks very solid & reassured
