Fairly obvious that no-one other than Haaland (and Mahrez) wants to take them. Which I find utterly bizarre.

 

[Withnail]

If Haaland is not on the pitch I would give the job to Gundogan or Kdb.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

It's bordering on negligence that he is still taking pens and hasn't been told he isn't to take them.

Apparently that was the 25th missed penalty under Pep.

 

[Dzeko9]

1) Haaland
2) KDB
3) Gundo

That’s it.

Anyone but Mahrez... please

Apparently that was the 25th missed penalty under Pep.

Absolutely shocking I wonder how many in total ? I bet the conversion rate us no higher than 50pc !

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I voted Mahrez but I thought the question was "who should not take pens under any circumstances".

It wouldn't surprise me that day after day on the training ground Mahrez notches up more successful pens than anyone!

But the one who should take them is the one who can hit the ball hardest. Shearer's technique outshines anyone jumping like a rabbit with a carrot up its arse, or a stuttering run that semi-stops or any other variation. Just belt the bloody case off it, but make sure the case is still on as it passes the goal line.

As soon as I saw Mahrez grab the ball I just slumped in my seat and resigned myself to not cheering a goal. I’d of been more surprised if it went in. Can only prey that we never need him to take one when it counts as I don’t think I could cope.
