Penalty Taker

[Blue Mooner]

Why is no one mentioning the fact that both penalties should have been retaken. Steckelenberg was at least a yard off his line before both penalties were struck and to compound it there were a number of players encroaching into the penalty area. It might seem pedantic, and of course I wouldn't have mentioned it had they been scored, but just apply the f'kin rules!!!

You may be right but we still need to be able to take pens that aren't at a lovely height for a keeper to save.

Nacho if he is playing, similar technique to balo or
Whoever has a 90+ ratio in traning out of 10 against bravo

 

[Chi-town blues]

Fernandinho.

 

[meeesh]

Aguero

 

[blinkblue]

Fernandinho was Shakhtar's penalty taker. And Gundogan is a really calm taker too. They'd be my choices.

I've never been convinced by Aguero even when he was banging them in, he hasn't got good technique from the spot, same way Tevez didn't.

 

[jollylescott]

Fernandinho.

Agree with this. And for those advocating Merlin I am his number one fan, but a penalty taker he is not!

Hard to believe we won a trophy last season with a penalty shoot out

 

[Higor Douglas]

Germany have never lost a penalty shoot-out at the World Cup. Played 4, won 4. 100%.

Gundogan or Sané needed

Navas hit a good one that day!

 

[City_Sean]

Gundogan has scored a penalty in a Champions League final. Him for me.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Gundogan, if a German can't score then we're fucked.

 

[Edwin Edwin]

Fernandinho/Gündogan.
Aguero's been going for the same side for 2 seasons now..So obvious that keepers have studied that.

 

[Corky]

Yaya

 

[Bluep*ss]

I'd let Iheanacho take them, or Gundogan.

Totally agree. Itchy would be my choice. Very cool finisher. It would not have fazed him in front of 54,531.Young and no nerves.
Unfortunately Sergio seems to miss 2 0ut of 4 - atm.

 

[kaz7]

Gundy and kev,but it depends who is on the pitch at the time,sergio needs a rest from taking them but i wouldn't be surprised if pep tells him to keep doing it and push through this iffy spell

 

[Mr Partridge]

Sadly, as someone sat near me pointed out yesterday, our best penalty taker by some distance is Yaya. I'd give it to Kelechi or Sane myself.

 

[The Doctor]

Agueroooooooo!
Has to be. A miss here or there is no reason to abandon him unless he wants to stand down!
He is our most lethal striker.

 

[Terra Passenger]

Ballote...

Oh, nevermind.

 

[mosssideblue]

why? haha

I was being sarcastic.
