Penalty Taker

Somebody once said to me left footers can't take penalties. After seeing Fodens attempt at West Ham I'm beginning to wonder if he was right.

Isn’t Messi left footed ?

Why?

I think it would add to the excitment, I get bored with the likes of Salah and Ronaldo padding their stats with penalties.

 

[johnnytapia]

Why?

Because it’s not complicated enough with VAR

David Unsworth missed the first couple penalties he took but he was a top penalty take only missed 2 of his next 27 saw this on a dodgy halftime stream last week.

Leighton Baines had a top penalty rexcord too think it might've been even better than Unsworths or he scored more not sure.

Julian Dicks and Stuart Pearce took a good penalty too.

Those are all left footed defenders in the prem ero who did or could play at left back... Without any right footed defenders or attacking players of either footedness, makes no difference whatsoever never has and never will what footed a player is.

If anything left footers are probably remembered more Daniel Passarela scored many penalties in his career he was a prolific goalscoring defender and was a left footed.

Yeah and he's missed 29 pens in his career.
Left footers 58% success rate compared to right footers over 70%.

I'm shocked Mahrez has so few votes. Y'all must think Pep is silly. :)

The rules should be changed so that the player fouled has to take the penalty, in the case of a handball then the last attacking player to touch the ball should have to take it.

Anytime Rodri was in the box he’d be hacked down - the defender certain in the knowledge that the penalty would be missed

David Unsworth is a really good bloke. My lads were mascots for us at Everton and he looked after us. Top man.
