Penalty Taker

[Ric]

Guarantee if Ederson takes a penalty for us, he will miss and the opposition will score in our empty net.

I don't see why Kev won't take them. Arguably our best technical player and with a hammer of a shot.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

How about we try one of those Pires/Henry pens. Can’t be any worse than Jesus taking one

That one sprang to mind for me too.

Just checking back and after his miss against Liverpool Pep said he didnt realise he had such a poor record . His miss meant he had failed to score five of his last eight Premier League penalties, with his last success coming back in November 2016.

That’s my only problem with a keeper taking a pen,although would love to see ederson stick a few away ..

 

[deano ou812]

Bernardo silva should be on them but if the taker isn’t on the pitch at the time then what ..

 

[Xhavenjoe]

One thing that puzzles me is that we have won quite a few penalty shoot outs recently. cant remember when we lost one

Posted this in the match thread, but someone at the game tonight said Rodri wanted to take it and that Jesus took the ball off him. If Rodri fancies it, I say let him have a go.

I would like to see it happen, every chance if he hits the bar it could rebound half way down the pitch though!

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Not sure how many Ian Wright scored but I remember him saying he picked a spot, halfway up the posts, and banged it.
Fuck this 'Ali Shuffle' shit. It doesn't even work for Messi, let alone anyone else.

Given the amount of times we've witnessed poor penalty kicks by our players this season, who would you suggest is given the role of kicking a football 10 yards into a goal? My money would be on Ederson!

12 mate

Leave Walker as fly goalie.

 

[Easy]

Pep said in post match presser that this is a problem and that Ederson is our best taker. Would love to see him take them. Don’t care about the risk of missing it, he’ll bang em in.

Otherwise I’d go with De Bruyne, he’s always playing, a leader, yea he missed one for us ages ago but so what.

Otherwise I’d give Rodri a chance, apparently wanted to take it tonight and he has a killer shot. Fernandinho even. But a big NO to Jesus, Sterling, Mahrez. Not confident with Aguero either tbh.

Expected us to miss with no Gundogan on the pitch, Ederson or Rodri just blasting it could hardly be any worse than some of our efforts.

I could have done better than Jesus wearing my trusty carpet slippers. Poor effort, great height for the keeper. Looked like someone low on confidence. Need to give Jesus a rest from penalty duties and find someone with a strong mental attitude. It’s only 12 yards but it’s a mind game. That’s why Mario was so good - utterly bonkers but had no self doubts.

If eddie is the best then let him take them sometimes,leave 3 defenders guarding the goal lol,never forget joe racing back and hooking it off the line

For me it's sergio,if he is not on then gundy

Where gabby goes wrong is the studdering he does,just pick a spot and welly it

I bet Ederson wouldn’t blast it. It’ll be wait for the keeper to commit and roll it in.

His run up also telegraphed where it was going.

 

[ballinio]

It’s weird because we’ve won numerous penalty shootouts in cup competitions , finals as well .

 

[WestGorton]

Gundogan then Kdb surely.
