I've now started to think, so what it's a penalty...its like being awarded a corner these days.

Our corners have got better.

I don't see what relevance it is to him taking. a penalty kick. Presumably you don't thinking would be any good based on him kicking to touch twice in a game. Otherwise why bring it up? If I have got the wrong end of the stick please explain.

Let’s wait and see

Practice putting them in the top corner either side. Keepers never save them.

Practice, repetition, it isn't rocket science. Christ knows what's up with our lot.

We score about the same number from each! I hope we don’t go to pens on Sunday!

We are good at shoot outs.

To be fair we used to be good at pens

Aguero actually took that pen better than he normally does, I haven't liked his technique for years. If it went in it was fine but it never seemed to have enough power on it. Aguero has now changed to more power but just had no placement in it.

Have to think that any midfielders or forwards we are looking at in the summer will be considered for penalty duty.

Keepers never save pens in the top corner. Partly because if they’re perfectly placed they’re impossible to save, partly because keepers always dive low. But if players only, or nearly always, put them in the top corner, wouldn’t that change? Keepers would dive high rather than low. They still wouldn’t save a perfectly struck penalty, but the margin for error would greatly reduce. So the pressure on the penalty taker to put them absolutely right into the top corner would increase. And then they would start missing.
