      If it goes to penalties I'll be extremely nervous of our chances, that is where the experience of Real Madrid would really come into play. Fortunately I don't think it will, if we play as well as we can play then we'll win it in the 90 minutes.

      I'm guessing these are excluding shootouts since I remember Lallana missed his pen v City in the League Cup final?

      Yes, you’re right. Just looked at Can’s stats and doesn’t show the penalty he scored in that shootout.

      I just don't get why keepers make their mind up before the kick. Keepers make fantastic instinctive saves all the time from less than 12 yards. They should keep their eye on the ball and react instinctively.

      If the ball is struck cleanly enough they have little chance, but if it's placed or miss hit or to close to the middle they would have a far better chance to save it if they watched the ball rather than dive one way or the other.

      Truth be told I don't get the desire for Van Dijk to take one. I know he's composed on the pitch and everything but he strikes me as the type who'd welly it as hard as he could and tw*t it over the bar. Might just be me though cos I don't trust left footed penalty takers (other than Alan Kennedy). I think nerves might get the better of Trent as well.

      My five (if on the pitch)

      1 - Firmino
      2 - Ings
      3 - Milner
      4 - Henderson
      5 - Salah

      According to the Echo VVD has never taken a penalty so why is he on so many lists.

      Trent...1
      Hendo..2
      Mo......3
      Mane...4
      Milner...5

      in that order

      Reserve...Bobby,Giny, Robbo,..VVD would be way down my list

      Why do people want Hendo, a typical English penalty flapper as opposed to the cool headed Van Dijk, who took Celtics penalties as cool as the other side of the pillow.

      Because of composure and because he always looks confident, chances are he would make his mind up and stick to it. You don’t want a player stepping up that isn’t confident.

      10 people have put VVD, 8 people have put Hendo...

      Gerrard was the 5th penalty taker in Istanbul which surprised many (even though Xabi was no 1). And of course Ronaldo in the euros was no 5.

      There is a method to the madness apparantly , just like many top coaches never stick defenders on the post during a corner

      Only counts as 1 regardless. Could be more pressure on the last taker to score to win the cup. I'll move him if you insist...orlwright...I'll move him...Milner takes the 1st...so it's your fault if we lose..

      You don't want your last penalty taker to possibly not get a chance to even take one......

      You  put him first and ensure you start out on the right foot.

      He did take the free kicks there so it makes sense for him to take a penaltie every once in a while. I did look for his stats and says he hasn’t taken one, don’t think those starts show shootouts though.

      But TBH I can’t tell for sure, haven’t seen a Celtic game in years.
