Penalty Taker

[Bill Walker]

If mahrez keeps taking his pens like his last 2 he wont miss many. Taken like that they are nigh on impossible to save.

Remind me of Franny Lee's pens, impossible to save.

 

[Bill Walker]

whoever is taking them and scoring should be the penalty taker, thought raheem's penalty was excellent, but at the moment mahrez has the job

It was a good pen but tbf, Raz has the propensity to fuck things up. He makes me more fucking nervous than the dentist.

 

[Ric]

I bet Rodri would take a good pen.

The one he took for us (against Spurs, I think) was pretty poor, even though it did go in. I think it’ll be Sterling taking them in Mahrez’s absence.

Yes, you're probably right Ric..

High ones are never saved. It's why Aguero was an average penalty taker. He always hit it hard and near the post but at the perfect level for the keeper.

Of course the danger is Mahrez against Liverpool when he skied it.

Unless he's on the bench :)
So.....Mahrez if he's playing or KDB (Not Raz for me thanks)
What about Grealish, did he take them at AV ?

I bet Rodri would take a good pen.

True mate.
Raz seems to have a new found appetite for them though....
Would like to see a Rodri Thunderbastard penalty. That would be fun.
And there is always Eddie, Phil, Gundo

Grealish one penalty in his entire career so perhaps not.

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Cancelo and Zinch may be worth a shout if no one on the pitch at the time fancies them. Both can hit a ball and Zinch has taken for Ukraine and in shootouts for us.

Jesus Christ,Definitely not Jesus....

Anybody, whether they are putting it on the spot at Hough End or a pro picking up a quarter million each month, can miss a pen. I thought last night that the fuckin' goal shrank as Gabby was weighing it up. Alex Harley always walked three or so paces back after putting it on the spot and immediately turned round and whacked it in. He said that by doing the pen like that the net always seemed bigger. What I cannot understand is how pros cannot put a ball four feet or so off the ground at either end of the goals - nobody would save it there, unless they were seven feet six inches tall and had hands like shovels. But, there again, we have the time and state of the game to accommodate. Dippers at Anfield, last gasp at 0-0 and, whoa, over the fuckin' bar!

Gabby’s record from the spot is horrendous. He’s now missed five of the nine he’s taken for us and two of the four he did score came in a 6-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk. He’s also missed both of the pens he’s taken for Brazil so he’s failed to score seven of the last 11 he’s taken.
I’d keep him away from pens by whatever means necessary, including any possible shootouts.
