Reds Penalty Taker

Who would you have as your penalty taker?

Mine would be carragher cos i cant remember seeing him miss and he strolls up with confidence and it would bump his goal tally up for the reds
who would you have.

cant remember seein him miss??

How about WC06 against Portugal??

Bellamy i reckon

Alonso

  I didn`t think of England games

Kuyt for me......if not I'd like to see Danny Agger crack one with his left peg.

Who ever is on form on the day and stick in the net gets my vote

Fowler's probably the most natural finisher in the squad so he should be the main taker, but then again he seldom starts.

I think none of the first team players look convincing enough to take a penalty without us worrying. Stevie G's missed a couple. Bellamy missed one a few matches ago. Alonso had his saved by Dida in Istanbul before his rebound. Carra's missed in the WC. Hyppia missed in the last FA cup. Riise missed in Istanbul. Crouchy? Best penalty miss ever happened against Jamaica. Kuyt? Not too sure. The rest, not too sure.

Gillett and Hicks however could solve this for us though by landing Villa.

FOWLER  is clearly the best taker at the club,shame he doesnt start more often,dirk has to be the choice,as stevie,alonso,crouchy,bellamy,alonso dont inspire confidence at all.

fowler dont think ive ever seen him miss one

If he's on the pitch, it's got to be Fowler.

Otherwise I'd just stick with Gerrard. I know he's missed in the past but so have the others, who have taken less pens. Not sure about Kuyt because I don't think I've seen him taking a pen...

Alonso he always looks calm just b4 he takes a pen 

   
in Spain them usually it throws the goleador, so kuyt

It would always, always have to be Robbie for me.  I can't understand why he doesn't get to play.  He must be so frustrated - I know I am and my dogs get so excited when he comes on.  They run around barking like mad.
He just touches the ball and it's magic!
i must just say that i am a big Robbie fan!!  In case you hadn't noticed

Come on you reds!!

My Spanish is rubbish, but I love your posts.  You can stay!

fowler dont think ive ever seen him miss one

he missed one for man city against boro, 92nd minute and if he scored man city would have been in the uefa cup, he missed and boro were!!

carragher dnt fink seen him missed sept for his retake against portogal

i say between gerrard and alonso,they both can strike a ball so well..

Take a look at this thread... then I am sure you will change your mind.

Bizarrely. I wouldn't trust ANY of the strikers.  Is that a sign you think?

Thinking about it most of them have had misses.  Alonso - Champions League final (although he did get the rebound!). Carragher, Gerrard for England.  Gerrard's missed a fair few for us too in important games.  Riise - it's a danger.

Hamann was the best.  I'd have to go for Kuyt only cos I have never seen him take a pen I don't think. 

we need fowler to play more because he for sure is the best penatly taker, second to him is kuyt  its confidence, kuyt has it gerrard is still shook up from WC06. I agree hamann was best

It's a weird one, we seem to have little faith in our players to score a pen regularly, but we've won 9 out of 10 penallty shootouts.
Gerrard usully gets the nod, but for me Kuyt.

Blast from the past! 2007!

See what I did there, I used the search function.

But seriously, with Gerrard now gone, who do we think will be taking the penalties next season, and beyond?

We've had a few in Gerrard's absence, I think with reasonable success, but who will be given the monkey that is penalty taker?

Milner?
Lambert?
Balotelli?
Sturridge?
Henderson?
Mignolet?

Prefer to wait and see who we sign (if anyone ) before deciding who will take the pens.
