Penalty Taker

[Big Swifty]

I don’t recall him in the 1990 World Cup?

I was alluding to lefties, as well you know.....

 

[Gundog’s Gundog]

Players miss pens but I think the media spotlight on City has led to a situation developing whereby the terrible misses from appalling penalty takers, namely Jesus and Sterling, have led to a kind of witch hunt when perfectly fine takers like Kun or Kev or Gundog miss one or two and Pep has a knee jerk reaction and changes the taker.

I’d give it Kev or Gundog and tell them that regardless of any missed pens they will be the taker for the full season.

I think that's City paranoia reaching extreme levels.

I don't remember any media witch hunt over our missed penalties.

I do remember missed penalties in three enormous matches against Liverpool, one in the PSG Champions League quarter final, one in the Tottenham Champions League quarter final and other not so important penalty misses however.

Why did Mahrez take the pen tonight instead of KDB please? And is it likely to be a one off?

 

[iceman]

Prob after ederson the best pen taker and big balls to step up

No idea but my all that went thru my head was when he took the penalty kick at Anfield.

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

In what universe was Mahrez first choice to take that penalty. He's not even an option on the vote. That's how far down the pecking order he should be

 

[NZBlue]

That's up there with "No Vinnie, don't shoot"!

I thought Eddie was supposed to take the next one?

Seriously though; if he did take that tonight, and missed, this place would have made Chernobyl look like the barbecue catching fire in the back garden!

Too right... the pitch forks would have been out.
