I think because Haaland's always seems so nonchalant about it and he strikes it so quickly and decisively, but I think that's what I like in a pen taker. Don't think twice, just slam it in.

Haaland is an average penalty taker. He’ll score most he takes, but so he should.I think because Haaland's always seems so nonchalant about it and he strikes it so quickly and decisively, but I think that's what I like in a pen taker. Don't think twice, just slam it in.
The ones that wait for the keeper to move and put it in the other side should never miss. Yaya was supreme at that.
Definitely the first two. Gundogan’s penalty record for us was pretty bad though - scored four, missed three.Mario, then Yaya. Honourable mention to Gundogan.

That's easy. I want United to take a 50 point penalty.

Yaya, never missed for us and never looked like missing.

^^^^ THIS!Yaya always appeared to hit the ball sweetly, whereas with Erling it sometimes looks like he scuffs the ball a bit.
Yaya for me.
Yaya!
Even when the keeper guessed the right way, Yaya always hit it hard enough and so close to the post as to make it virtually unstoppable!
Haaland is going to miss/have one saved this year, but let’s all hope it’s not this weekend…not that Kavanaugh will be brave enough to give us one!
