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

[Cobwebcat]

I saw a few people wanting to take Erling off penalties after yesterday’s miss.

Just for the record the average chance of a penalty being scored is 77%

Haaland is on a career 84% (not just City) so be careful what you wish for!

More alarming is that we have only scored 20% of the last 5 penalties against Liverpool.

Not everyone is Yaya Toure.

I'm sure it will be another area of his game that he will work and improve on.

They were saying around me that City have missed 4 out of the last 5 penalites.

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

Against Liverpool I think that is.

I remember Mahrez and De Bruyne missing important ones.

He's a brilliant penalty taker, 16 from 19 is it? Just happened to miss some big ones like yesterday but we win anyway, Bayern but we won anyway, and Everton where we then dropped points. Sporting last season possibly?
We just have a habbit of missing cruicial ones like Aguero against Spurs and Mahrez at Anfield, but always concede in the big matches.

Ah OK. Haaland missed a few recently, maybe the tail end of last season.

Did Elano miss any? I can't remember any. Him and Balotelli were the gold standard I think.

EDIT: No, Elano scored 100% of his for us.

Balotelli?

Balotelli, I don't think he missed a penalty for City.

Before he took it they showed a graphic of where he puts them - probably two thirds to the left and a third to the right, where this one went.

None down the middle though.

I think he needs to throw in one or two down the middle to put a bit more doubt in the keepers mind.

 

[alexmcity]

Haaland doesn't get the balance between power and precision of his penalty shots right. He errs on the side of precision.

It's risky to apply too much force, but he can learn a thing or two from Kane who gets the balance right most of the time (he misses too but so do CR and Messi...).

Mr Whippy missed one too.

 

[DTKOAG]

That Mahrez one against Liverpool landed on Venus..

 

[Cobwebcat]

Ah OK. Haaland missed a few recently, maybe the tail end of last season.

No I think both stats could be true but Haaland is still a good penalty taker.

 

[mexico1970]

Balotelli, I don't think he missed a penalty for City.

I mentioned the same.

Although it was a piece of cake for Toure ;-)

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

 

[dennishasdoneit]

Balotelli, I don't think he missed a penalty for City.

I can't remember him missing from the spot for us.

 

[Spanishbob]

Aguero missed some important ones especially against spuds away which came to bite us on our arse 2nd leg in a European cup game.

I asked this on the match thread yesterday and got no reply. But I wonder what our conversion rate is for penalties in the Pep era. I'd have my doubts as to whether it's 77%. But I'm sure that if I'm wrong, some joker will be along in double quick time to tell me!
