Penalty Taker

[Xhavenjoe]

If Gundo is on the field, I’d take him all day, if Kev isn’t going to step up.

Why did Gundogan stop taking them. He only missed one and didn't take any after that

It’s literally as straight forward as someone (Pep) just telling Kev that he’s responsible for taking the fucking penalties. It doesn’t matter if he misses 20 in a row, he’s taking them. This constant rotation is even stupider than the fucking misses. Soon they’ll be asking random ball boys to take the penalty. Fucks sake.

I can’t help feeling that this year’s champions league exit will be on penalties. There‘s not one player who gives me confidence with them.

We are a team that can’t finish. De Bruyne, Sterling, Jesus and Mahrez have all missed several one on ones this season. I expect us to miss when a player is clean through now. Penalties are just an extension of that problem.

Funnily enough I think we're after winning our last 5 penalty shoot outs

Having had a think about this - based on his whole demeanour on and off the pitch I would let Dias have a go. We need to find a good confident taker from somewhere because one day soon missing will come back to bite us.

Out of the ones we missed many was not even on target. KDB vs Liverpool earlier or this one from Sterling and we had couple more.

We dont even make heroes of the GK we flat out miss the big fucking goal from 11 metres/12 yards.

Pat Nevin on 5Live has just suggested KDB was so knackered by the end of the game and after that last run to win the penalty that he was just too gassed to take the penalty and that's why he handed it off.

That’s such bullshit though, and I think even Pep alluded to that as an excuse for Kev passing it off. Christ, if you can’t take a 4 step run up and smack a ball in the net at that point cos you’re too tired, lol.

Why can't Jesus take penalties, he's a Brazilian centre forward, he's scored some brilliant goals in his time with us I'm completely puzzled why he can't bang in a penalty.
On top of all that he's worked alongside Aguero for years.... surely he is capable of taking penalties.
If not why not?

Can't we get Franny Lee out of retirement?
