Penalty Taker

Aguero or Jesus should take them when they are on the pitch. We've made a small problem bigger now by not backing our centre-forward both of whom were OK at pens.

Aguero agree. jesus should be nowhere near penalties.

love it.

seriously would give eddie a go.

makes you think how the f**k do we win penalty shoot outs

because caballero, bravo and muric were good in saving them.

Ask the ref if we can have a throw in instead. No point asking for a corner, we're fucking useless at them as well!

:-(

We're not that bright with throw ins either

That’s what I say. Although Gundagon was a good choice too until today. I like that idea of the pass back and start an attack.

A good choice until today - that is his first penalty miss.

Lloris was off his line.....should have been retaken. Shit linesman...that’s all he has to do.

tbf, even if he was on his line, the ball was still far too close to him

And we can't do corners either.

That we can't convert our penalties is a sign of poor mentality in my humble opinion. Either we are weak or unconcentrated, in both cases it is not a good testimony of the players. Professionals should be able to learn how to do this properly.

Missed one in a no pressure pre-season game v Wolves

All top level pros can hit a ball well, but there is a mental obstacle in that the keeper isn't expected to save and that then puts more pressure on the taker.

I recall listening to Eric Bristow when he did an exhibition night in Faslane. He said, there are hundreds of pub players that can and have beaten me, but as soon as it is on a stage, they go to pieces because of the pressure - for me, exactly the same in football
