City's best-ever penalty taker? (any era)

[cheekybids]

Always remember Mark Ward used to put them in off the post but then I can remember how well he struck the bucket after being subbed once.

Yaya for me.

Statistically YaYa - followed by Balotelli and then our Chinese player "Lee 1 Pen" and quite a way behind, Aguero (who has now missed 3+ pens since 2014).
YaYa (14) and Balotelli (9) have never missed for us.

Has to be Yaya

Yaya, how can you be better than a guy who’s never missed?

Yaya has scored on the first 15 penalties he has taken. Mario scored on the first 20 penalties he took.

Crazy how balotelli gets picked, might be just to not pick the obvious when the obvious is the only choice. Yaya

Why is Yaya a better choice over Mario?

Elano for me.

Balotelli - excellent though he was - relied on the keeper moving and then shooting the other way. And if the keeper doesn't move, it's just about saveable.

Elano relied on nothing. He simply fired it so hard into the side netting, that there's nothing any keeper can do about it.

That is not true. Many keepers tried that. If that happens he simply passes it firmly into either corner. It is impossible for the Keeper to get there in time if he doesn't guess. His technique ensures that the only way he misses is if HE makes a mistake.

Lee 1 Pen. Chinese player I think from the late sixties / early seventies.

Yes, he played alongside Wee Win Won

Fucking he'll only on blue moon can we argue over Dennis:-)

Well when you get a child saying he doesn`t recognise Denis Law as a City player you have to treat them like kids. ;)

Don’t know the stats, I’d imagine yaya has took more. Scored more I think. Correct if I’m wrong
