Penalty Taker

[burnley blue mcfc]

How many pens has Kun scored and missed in his time at City does anyone know?

Was never good at them

I don’t know his record? But for a genuine world class striker & finisher like he is/was, he seemed to have missed alot of pens for us? & also scored quite a few lucky ones!! was never confident with sergio

On the plus side. We haven't got the worst conversion rate in the league. We're second worst. After Fulham.

So we are only second from bottom then, just behind Henshaws blind school FC

We haven’t lost a shootout since 2007 or 2008 I think

remember us losing 3-0 on pens at Doncaster under Pearce in 2005, think our last defeat was to Brighton in 2009 when Hughes was in charge

I thought we'd sorted this out with KDB... but for some reason he seems reluctant to take on the job

You do know he wasn’t even in the squad against Chelsea?

Yes I know, but I'm sure there was another match recently when he was on the pitch but somebody else still took it

Thinking back it was Dortmund.. but there could have been another one too

He was on the pitch when Mahrez took the last penalty before Agueros

Eddie would just need an hour's practice under my tutelage, and where I make it clear, never, ever take a pen, Eddie, with yer left foot! And bingo! He nevers misses a single one. That's if we ever got the penalties we're due.

It's difficult to have a set penalty taker when our team is rotated so much. Saturday we were without Gundo and KDB who've all taken recent penalties and Mahrez who, after his last one, would have almost certainly taken the next. That said, it really shouldn't have mattered because Sergio was on hand, unfortunately he made a poor decision. They all should, and probably do. have the necessary ability to score from 12 yards out with only the keeper to beat what none of them appear to possess is the mental strength to do it 9 times out of 10. It's become a bit of a poisoned chalice now and maybe players are seeing it as an opportunity to miss rather that an opportunity to score.
