It's a good idea,unless the person fouled has to go off injured,then what ? Like I say good idea but.......nexxxxttttttttt

Easy. In that case the opposing player that gives away the pen must take it.

Elano must be in same bracket? Bobby McDonald was good too.

Elano definitely up there.

Both YaYa and Balo have the best records in recent years with 100% records for City - YaYa 12/12 and Balo 8/8. Balotelli has gone to pot relatively in recent times and has missed 4 from his last 11 penalties.

Nacho worth a try if he is on the pitch but personally I'd stick with Aguero. Obviously he is going through a horrible patch at the moment and even then in the Premier League he is at 12 from 15 in the last 3 seasons. He will be ridiculously determined to get it right and scoring from penalties is probably more important to him as a striker than any other player on the pitch (Nacho excluded) as goals breeed more goals. Keep the faith I say.

Kolarov if playing, he will kill the keeper, break the net and hospitalize 6-8 of the first 3 rows of fans behind the goal.

Yaya. Should come off the bench just to take a penalty and then Pep would sub him off. LOL.

Some other players:

Nolito 6/8
Dinho 10/16
KDB 2/3
Kola 4/6
Silva 2/3
Gundogan 2/2

Bravo. Sterling, Otta, Sane, Sagna and Stones haven't taken 1 in their careers

No pracise will ever be able to come close to replicating a real life situation. My guess would be Aguero and Kdb bang them in without a seconds thought on the training ground. I bet even Clichy whacks them in for fun.
The one thing I would say is learning how to keep the ball low. From 12 yards, hit correctly a goalkeeper struggles to get down whereas anything 4/5 foot in the air is a gift from the gods.
As soon as the penalty was given I said Kev should take it because he's the best striker of the ball on the pitch. He's since come out and said he changed his mind in the run up. That's why practising them is a pointles exercise.

Fucking hell Pablo, you sound like some dinosaur of an ex pro. You can't recreate the pressure of the situation but actually it is in the pressure situation that the practise particularly pays off. It has been totally proven that when humans are trying to do something under stress they perform significantly better if they have practised before hand.

Just seen a quote from Pep yesterday. "We don't pracise penaltys, at training there is nobody there, no pressure"

I agree.

I am hugely disappointed to read this post. Pep is so utterly utterly wrong in this particular instance that it is a bit disturbing.
