Mahrez gets my vote. His miss at Anfield understandably sways people’s opinions but since then he hasn’t come close to missing one and he seems to genuinely relish taking pens so no confidence issues.
His pen at Dortmund in last year’s CL came at a crucial moment of the tie and it was a great pen under tons of pressure. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think that was the first one he’d taken since the Anfield horror show so it was a real pressure situation for him personally as well as for the team - had he missed and we’d gone out, his City career may have never recovered.
