Think that was possibly the worst penalty I've ever seen live in the flesh last night.

Agree with others that Gundogan should take them moving forward, although I seem to recall him missing one in a penalty shoot-out for us at some point? Don't think there is anyone in the squad with the same unnerving calm from the spot as Yaya or Balotelli, sadly.

I remember Lee badbuy Bradbury rifling one high over the bar against Blackpool at Maine Road..a cup game if my mind serves me correct. A night game with the Piccadilly radio commentator Brian Clarke..and that goes over the bar high wide and handsome. I miss our Brian.

cant remember if it was apenalty but he once described a shot as landing somewhere near failsworth pole, his favourite would be to be talking about something that had nothing to do with the game before shouting "and as we speak the balls in the back of the net" without saying whos net! bless him
 
Gundogan for me all day long. Kun second.
Eddy in a penalty shootout but not in a game in case it rebounds off the crossbar back into our nets.
 
We need to do something about our penalties because we are wank at them. Absolute rubbish.

It is high time we had someone who would just put their foot through the bloody thing and on target, if the keeper saves the odd one then fair play but Kun, Jesus, Mahrez, have all had a go and non are good.

Sterling perhaps or as many have suggested Gundogan though I can see him putting them into the stand. Foden?

It cost us the CL last year a could easily given Liverpool the title.

It's cost us quite a few games so far.
I'd trust Foden. He strikes the ball as good as anyone on the park, but he usually isn't on the park, unfortunately.
 
mahrez needs to stay off from the penalty spot on Sunday
 
It's been close at times but Aguero hasn't missed one in league games for over 3 years. Under Pep in the league he is 12 from 13 and a conversion rate of 92.30%. His all time record in league games is 87.09% That's excellent for a player with a long-term record of penalties when the average is about 78%.

87.09% Aguero (27/31)

Better than:
86.36% Kane (19/22)
85.86% Ronaldo (79/92)
85.41% Lampard (41/48)
83.07% Messi (54/65)
82.75% Mario (24/29)
80.43% Shearer (37/46)

Just short of:
88.88% Henry (24/27)
88.88% Lewandowski (24/27)

What’s Yaya’s record? Best I’ve ever seen.
 
Gundogan is the best penalty taker all day long , annoys me when Jesus or Sergio step up to take penalties to improve their goals tally when the bigger picture should be the team , if i was putting my mortgage (if i had one :) on a player scoring a penalty it would be Gundo , he's German you know.
 
KDB sounds good but there is a reason he doesn't take them. How many penalty shootouts have we had with him still on the pitch and he seemingly never goes forward to take one. It just doesn't work for him.
 
At the moment it seems Walker is our "go to" guy for everything else- why not penalties?

I suspect Rodri and Cancelo could both be worthwhile options. I always like the idea of several takers available. It makes it harder for keepers to predict
