Pep acknowledged it as a concern last night which means he will be working on a solution. We rotate that much that he really needs at least 4 of the squad to be confident and competent. I would go:
Gundo
Foden
Rodri
Aguero
Gundo
Foden
Rodri
Aguero

I cant understand after the last jesus cock up with the penalty that pep didn't rollock him and say either don't do it again or don't take a pen again, it clearly does not work. Before this ridiculous step before kicks jesus was better than Sergio, couldn't be easier jesus "what the fuck are you playing at".
Sergio isn't the best ever and some pens that go in you take a sharp breath with !
Its simple, yaya, mario and many others in the prem just hit the ball hard low and in the corners. Same as we have 25 shots in a game and score one when teams have two shots and score two, the penalties are going the same way as we miss a hell of a lot of pens but opposition you feel 100% that it is going in.
Practice the penalties ffs, I know nerves contribute but a shit style of pen in the first place gives us less chance.
Pens are worse than corners now !

There are plenty of expert penalty takers who make a delay in their run-up. See Jorginho at Chelsea.I cant understand after the last jesus cock up with the penalty that pep didn't rollock him and say either don't do it again or don't take a pen again, it clearly does not work.

Our strikers should hang there heads in shame at there penalty records
no run-up and the keeper is rooted , simple toe-poke into the corner, unsavable, just needs the bottle to do it. In every game players make 50 yd passes with no run-up, so why the need for a run-up for 12 yd,.. just because everyone else does.....

Your a genius. Wonder why so many leagues in the world playing for years and years have never thought about a no run up and toe poke to the corner pen - like you see under 5s dono run-up and the keeper is rooted , simple toe-poke into the corner, unsavable, just needs the bottle to do it. In every game players make 50 yd passes with no run-up, so why the need for a run-up for 12 yd,.. just because everyone else does.....

Those of my generation may recall the late Alex Harley playing for City. His penalty technique was just that - he stood with his back to the goal, swivelled and hit it. Takes a lot of bottle & skill to do that (plus plenty of practice as well, I reckon).

Sounds great but have you ever wondered why nobody does it?no run-up and the keeper is rooted , simple toe-poke into the corner, unsavable, just needs the bottle to do it.
