Penalty Taker

[kun]

I wouldn’t mind giving them to Ederson with a defender or 2 staying back in our box.

Tell that to the staff in the ICU...

Oh dear. How to lose a discussion. Pathetic use of our NHS staff to win an unimportant point. Should be ashamed

 

[CC1]

It's laughable how many penalty shoot-outs we've won and we still can't reliably put them away during matches.

very true

Probably not a sensible decision at 1-0 up with a couple of mins left.

We have missed 7 of our last 15 pens. That really is shocking.

Don’t they use psychologists?. I used to read sport psychology books and used their techniques (albeit at pub football level) but never missed a penalty by adopting their tactics.
I know it’s better keepers and more pressure but as Delph say’s ‘Do the basics well’

I don’t know - but if they don’t, they should. It’s outside Pep’s expertise

I suspect that we are amazing at penners in training. It's the in-match pressure that we have a problem with.

Well that would be typical!! Pep must wonder what’s up with them. He looked fucking furious BUT he ALWAYS supports his players to the media. Unlike some fans on here who publicly slaughter them.

I agree it would have been a risk to try it for the first time tonight. KDB or Gündogan should have taken the one tonight.

Ederson couldn't do any worse than Sterling.

Gundogan should have taken it if KDB was too tired. I never feel confident when Sterling takes them. Saying that I feel the same when Aguero or Jesus take them too. Not felt comfortable since Yaya left

As a serious football club with a fantastic pedigree, we simply shouldn’t be piss-arsing around on stuff like this. End of.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

De Bruyne didn't take it as he was tired?

Sterling is a great pretty terrible penalty taker. Agüero at least has a decent record, in comparison to the average PL penalty taker.

You are right though we haven’t had a true penalty taker since Yaya. The only players I felt confident with a penalty were Yaya, Balotelli and Elano.

Nothing serious, it's just as bad as corner and set piece though.

And going back, Mark Ward.

Ederson now.

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Gundogan would get my vote

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Ederson now.

Ederson is the best striker of a ball at the club , when Pep was asked he was wary of us taking the piss out of the opposition , who gives a f*ck , we need to score our penalties who gives a shite what anybody thinks. As far as the media goes we are lower than a snakes belly anyway ,Ederson smashing in penalties isnt going to make a jot of difference.

Knowing us Ederson would also miss or worse be saved and the opposition score with him stranded up field ..

No worries ,leave Kyle on the half way line , sorted.

To be fair we couldn’t do any worse than let him have a go it’s got beyond a joke the number of misses now,would also have the media getting giddy in the hope my above post happened..
