Penalty Taker

I think you're wrong on this.

His idol is Rogerio Ceni.

Unfortunately couldn't find a compilation of just penalties, but Ceni regularly took penalties of a cultured style, including cheeky panenkas.

Fair enough, if he’s as good as him then I’d be happy to be proven wrong!

Demonstrates a lack of character imo. Certainly not leadership quality. There's no way I would have someone like that as a captain.

If true i agree with you

Sergio Gómez: 6 taken, 6 scored, 0 missed, 100%
Erling Haaland: 30 taken, 28 scored, 2 missed, 93.3%
Ilkay Gündogan: 17 taken, 15 scored, 2 missed, 88.2%
Kevin de Bruyne: 11 taken, 9 scored, 2 missed, 81.8%
Julián Álvarez: 4 taken, 3 scored, 1 missed, 75%
Riyad Mahrez: 32 taken, 22 scored, 10 missed, 68.8%

Riyad Mahrez: 10 misses out of 32.
Gómez, Haaland, Gündogan, de Bruyne, Álvarez combined: 7 misses out of 68.

Mahrez should be nowhere near the spot again. Gomez, Haaland and Gündo would be the only players I'd be confident in. KDB, Ederson or Álvarez at a push.

Not read the whole thread, but has anyone mentioned that a sniper be employed to take out FFS if he ever picks up a football and wibbles towards the penalty spot.

He's been shit for a while now, can you ever seem him turning a game around like Kev or Phil? Never, hope we sell him in January.

When you say a while?

He was top scorer last season and without checking has probably played about half a dozen times this year.

In the PL he bagged only 11 goals. He's a flat track bully who pads his stats with goals against Norwich, Leicester and Brighton. Or in the CL against tier 4 teams or the FA Cup against 3rd round poor teams.

If we were 1-0 down against a top team and down to one last Sub, would you bring him on? He would do nothing. I still have a damaged shin from when he skied over the bar against the Dippers last season.

A flat track bully who has scored 4 champions league semi-final goals.
More than anyone else in the clubs history.
3 derby goals. Key goals vs Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal, Brighton (final day), Dortmund (CL QF) as well as other teams during title run ins like Southampton, Wolves, Bournemouth and Brighton (again).

It’s fine to say he’s been shite this season or that he’s no good at pens (both true), but let’s not pretend Riyad never turns up in big moments.

Anybody other than the Algerian show pony.

No need for that.

 

[aguero93:20]

Mahrez is left footed, and is continuing to back up the notion that left footed players just aren’t as good at taking penalties overall.

I’m left footed, and wank at them.

I'm left footed and I've never missed one.

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

See Mary Fowlers yesterday.
That's where you put a penalty and with that pace.
