Penalty Taker

[geek24601]

Gundo, Kev and Rodri (in that order) for me if Erling is not on the pitch.

The thread needs to be changed to who our 2nd penalty taker should be.

Why no vote for Eddie?

Surely that’s it for Mahrez! Thank goodness it didn’t mean anything in the end. Woeful penalty taker!

No ederson, no vote

Wouldn't let him take my bins out.

Totally agree, he was even worse on Satuday, which makes it all the more baffling that he started again tonight.

Even more baffling that he was given the responsibility of PT. Crazy when something might be on the line. Hopefully that’s the last penalty he takes.

He’s not the manager. He doesn’t decide who takes penalties. I think as someone else has said, it’s pretty obvious Gundogan doesn’t fancy them, despite his decent record. And no manager is going to insist a player takes them who tells him he rather not.

Pep has said in the past that he lets the players decide who takes the penalty. So the manager doesn’t decide! But he also seemed to hint in the post match that he might rethink this approach because 25 missed penalties is dismal.

Whose to say Ilkay wouldn’t be fine taking penalties if there was a clear defined rotation, and he clearly knew when he was up and when someone else was?

Should be a simple list, just like the Captains!

1. Haaland
2. Gundo
3. KDB
4. Foden
5. Bernardo

… or some such, based on who is on the field at the time.

Anyone but Mahrez!!!! I'd rather pick a random fan from the stands!
