Haaland’s penalties…be careful what you wish for!

[Goatmeal]

It’s weird but pretty much all of Haalands missed penalties, I felt he would miss. It’s kind of written on his face when he is going to miss.

ha, had the same feeling mainly because it was against the dippers.

I came on to mention Elano, he was mustard at pens

I agree. For me he was the best. Balotelli was brilliant as well but Balotelli relied on waiting for the keeper to move, which carried some risk. Elano just blasted into the side netting every...single...time. Completely unsavable no matter what the keeper did.

I completely expected it yesterday, but maybe that was just my nerves kicking in.

 

[Sibierskii]

Horrible technique. Having see how hard he can twat a football i’ve no idea why he doesn’t just put his laces through it

 

[johnnytapia]

Just thinkin
Does anybody else apart from Yaya Toure have a 100% record with City
Or indeed any one got a career 100% record ?

Rodri

Loving the expertise on here. Give Pep / Erling a bell. They’ll love your pearls of wisdom

As long as it’s not Bernardo!

I’m ok with Haaland taking them. Dont seem to be as many being given this season in general.

 

[johnnytapia]

Le Tissier 47/48
Ivan Toney 48/50

The two best that come to mind. They had different well-documented methods, but both concentrated on a clean, powerful strike and on giving the ball some air.

Ray Stewart.

 

[Goater=Legend]

He twatted one in against Spurs away. Not sure why he feels to always go for placement.

 

[johnnytapia]

Agreed Shearer was a brilliant striker of a dead ball.

Dont forget Mark Ward,at City under Kendall.used to give that ball some violence from a spot kick.
Saw him do it many times for City,the best was away at Anfield 2-2 draw. Prob the best City penalty I've ever seen( till Nunez v utd!) Ward hit the ball so hard from a penalty it nearly took grobelaars face off.Brutal.
Mark Ward was half the size of Shearer but he packed just as much power into his penalty shots.

Missed against Boro in Full Member Cup

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

He's the best penalty taker that we've got, but its frustrating when he misses em. As he gets older maybe he'll learn how to vary them more so it's not just a 50% chance for the keeper to guess right.

Rodri

Rodri actually scored from one of the worst penalties imaginable

Balotelli was cool as a cucumber. Don't recall him ever missing one. If Aguero had gone down in that epic moment and we had been awarded a pen (no guarantees there as we well know) I think he would have slotted it home to win the title

Ray Stewart.

76/86 - impressive. Makes you wonder who was winning all these penalties for them. I mean, that's a lot.

That's all that game lacked, really - a bit of drama at the end.

The delay definitely seems to get to him. That seemed like a conscious tactic from them yesterday. Same as the Cup Final.

Nowt to do with Pep. Just discussing a important part of the game; )

 

[dennishasdoneit]

Anyone remember Gary Owen.
Think he was a side kick / slot penalty taker for a good few years under Book.
As a kid ,reading the Sunday papers it was always Owen 1 Pen...

I've always thought that.t would have been Marios real moment at City
And of course he would have scored.cool as fuck.never missed.
Yep I've envisaged that Mario moment a few times over the years...
