      I think it's between Molby and Neal for the #1

      Gerrard, never feel he'll miss one.

      Del Pierro, class from dead ball situations in general but never seen him miss either from the spot.

      Goodbye!  :)

      Phil Neal actually missed 12 pens for the reds and took 5 more than Molby. Molby missed 3 out of 45.

      So go think up some more bollocks to write about while some of us prepare to laugh or cringe. Again.


      Im not being funny mate, but can you show me or tell me where You got that info. Im not doubting You , just cant remember Him missing that many. If You are right I might have to think again about my choice. Though He was a top peno taker as far as I can remember.

      He was a great pen taker, there's no doubt about that mate.

      Gerrard more recently, scores some pressure pens, always feel confident.

      Missed one against fulham and marseille but scored the rebound.Missed one against Arsenal ^^^^ didn't he miss one before the CL Final 05 ?,can't remember who though.

      Aldridge was pretty good i think. From the vids i saw, he was pretty good and dont remember a miss.

      :(

      FA Cup final 1988. Liverpool 0 Wimbledon 1.

      Penalty saved by Dave Beasant I believe. Aldo was unlucky though IMO, a well placed penalty low to the keeper's left, still don't know how Beasant saved it. :(

      It would be worse only for a couple of retakes, surprising isnt it?

      That was hard to take but The man who probably felt it most was John Aldridge,after all he was Liverpool through and through.

      Hard as it was at the time (I was only 11), I never blamed Aldo for a second.

      His penalty was well-taken, he was just unlucky the keeper fully committed himself to the exact spot he placed it.

      I think at the moment in the world probably stevie g!  ;D
      the amount of penaltys hes put away

      yes, and plenty of crucial ones.

      i wasn't too sure he was the ideal player to take them. But in the past couple of seasons he has been immense from the spot.

      Not really because he went the same way basically every time, the bottom right (keepers left). Was only really the Euro 2004 shoot out when he started varying them. (which happens to be the year he left us so didn't take anymore for us :D)

      Juninho has a gorgeous curl if we're talking FK, for PK I'd say Stevie though.
