I reckon Yaya has been as good as anyone (without having stats to hand). Sergio is good but he has missed a fdew in recent times. If we had to score a penalty to save my life I'd pick Yaya.
My favourite penalty-taker was Franny Lee. He gave it a good blast, not like some of these weak sidefooted ones you see now.
When I were nobbut a lad I saw Ken Barnes score a hat trick of pens v Everton at Maine Road. I may be the only one on here to have seen that feat.
 
Yaya is the only player in PL history to have scored over ten and NEVER miss.

I can’t remember him ever missing so you can’t get much better than that.

If we get a penalty and Yaya is on the pitch it’s a goal.
 
Toure: 15 taken in career (excluding shoot-outs) and no misses.
Fabinho at Monaco is 19 and 1, which would make him a worthy replacement.
 
Don't think Anelka ever missed for us did he? Quite a memorable miss for Chelsea though.
