Penalty Taker

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

We are pants at penalties and they should be bread and butter for players of our quality

They are neither high enough if or in the corner if placing. In summary they are shit.

Ultimately, a penalty miss cost us a CL semi final place last season. We really need to get on top of this.

fucks sake, its a free blast from 12 yards, any of them should be able to score 9 out of 10

If Kev wants to take the pen then he should be given a chance

He doesn’t back himself with them, otherwise he’d be taking them.

Sergio and ilkay got there penalties on target both keepers saved. That'll do for me

Every saved penalty is on target ...keepers don’t tend to get past the post or above the crossbar

Aguero has never been a particularly convincing penalty taker but he’s the striker and scored plenty of them in the past. gundogan is also usually very assured at penalties, everybody missed the odd one he’s just unfortunate he’s missed one when we’re on a run of poor penalty misses. I’m fine with either of them taking the next one.

Kdb for whatever reason clearly doesn’t fancy them as he would have had the chance to take them if he wanted.

Jesus sterling and mahrez all have similar issues in that they scuff a lot of their shots on the instep and so none of them should be near one. If we’re going to look at somebody who hasn’t missed yet Bernardo has to be up next, strikes the ball very cleanly and precisely.

i can only remember Palace away in a drawn game when Kev got injured.

he saved one of two in one game vs Shakhtar. Think it was his first season.

Its symptomatic of our Season long total clusterfuck at the sight of 2 goalposts.

Whatever. Aguero can Score the next 5 and miss one and y‘all gonna want a new penalty taker anyway. It‘s been like that since that Mahrez penalty at Anfield.

You want a penalty taker you are confident in when he steps up. As amazing as Aguero is, he isn’t that man. We don’t have that man in our team. It’s madness how we have many world class players/goal scorers who can’t do it.

 

[bluebanana83]

get yaya back as penalty coach. He was the best. Don’t think he’s ever missed one in his professional career. I stand to be corrected. He must have took nearly 15 for us including pen shoot outs and never missed. Used to love how it was a guarantee every time.

 

[thismustbetheplace]

I think Ederson should step up.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Just watched Jay Rodriguez take one for Burnley. That's how it's done.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

I’d let Moonchester at this stage.

 

[jim tolmies perm]

Just smack them dowm the middle end of

It's simply a matter of getting the ball over line in the simplest most effective way

 

[OntarioBlue]

How difficult can it be for a professional footballer to beat a goalkeeper from 12 yards out ? Our recent record, missing 5 of the last 7, is ridiculous. Don’t they practice this in training ? If the recognised scorers can’t do it and KDB and Bernie don’t want to, then let Walker, Mendy or Fernandinho have a go. They can hardly be any worse.

 

[wythenshaweblue£££]

Poor penalty tonight but stick with Aguero.

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

Too much rotation often leading to our preferred penalty taker not being on the pitch, and thus creating added pressure when the next penalty arrives, and that player knows he's expected to score.

 

[tommybooth]

Nothing to do with practise. Pressure of the moment. Best we beat Villa in 90 mins.

 

[Mike N]

Poor penalty tonight but stick with Aguero.

Same as this.

 

[Blue Hefner]

I think when(if) Foden becomes a regular then he will be the penalty taker
