Who should take penalties if Haaland is not on the pitch?

You would think Rodri would be great at them with the way he can effectively pass the ball in to the back of the net from outside the area but both of the penalties he has taken for us have been poorly struck.

Same with KDB, such a sweet striker of the ball but I never feel that confident when he's taking them.

Bernardo has taken a few for us in penalty shootouts and they always seem to go in the corner so maybe he should be next in line if Haaland isn't on the pitch.

you would think two of our most technical players could score 19 out of 20 penalties simply by passing the ball where they want it to go. Clearly not. Both Kevin’s and Rodders attempts were pitiful and I have seen my footballing granddaughter execute them with more aplomb.
Wt actual fuck?
it really blows my mind that technically inferior footballers can score penalties for fun whilst our struggle more than they should. Is it psychology or practice or what?
 
I think we are worse off "saving pens" than scoring.

we more or like score just around xG average of a pen which is around 7.5 of 10. on average we score 15 goals from 20 pens.

but we should keep out (or opponents should miss the the target) about 5 times of 20 too but thats not the case. we save fuck all and they always on target almost. I think just for PL, CL Ederson conceded like 30 out of 33 pens or something like that. its a bad run for sure.

and imo if we have a pen shootout in March from go from last 16 to last 8 in CL, I think we would lose again as we aint scoring 5 of 5 but keep out nothing either and that feeling the keeper wont save a pen adds pressure for the takers.

its something to improve for us in trainings, before it costs us something much more important than a CS glorified friendly.

Argentina won the WC with 3 (?) won shootouts in a row.

Pep needs to show Ederson and Ortega how to jump properly and how to scare the takers. show them you jump left but then jump right unless the ball goes the other way, easy.:)

Big Willy, The Pantyman & Juliet have all won us Wembley shoot outs with fantastic performances
 
It amazes me that we have a team of such technically gifted players yet we are so bad at penalties. I reckon we just ignore them in training as our keepers are just as bad on them. Yesterday was the worst keeper performance in a shoot out i have ever seen. He looked 2 feet tall, just stood there like a statue, no making himself look taller or trying to intimidate the Arsenal takers

Wouldn’t have come to penalties if our game management was better.
