      If it was possible to bring Phil Neal back I would let him take the 5 pens and the cup would definitely be ours for the 6th time. :kop5cf8koxp6:

      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.

      Not often were in Agreement but your spot on with that assessment. Hendo will miss his pen if he takes one. Occasionally he connects with a shot but he is not a good striker of a football. I think he has only taken the one penno for LFC and it was a shocker.

      My five would be:

      1. Firmino
      2. Trent
      3. Salah
      4. Gigi
      4. Milner

      And if we still had a sub to make I’d be bringing on Migs to stand between the sticks and be the most unlikely hero in lfc history. You heard it here first!

      I'd like to have an alternative to penalties. I think a good option is, if after extra time  both teams still even, they have to take a player off the field every 10 minutes and next goal wins. It would open up spaces. If the game is still even after 30 minutes, do a penalty shootout but have the penalty spot double the length away. That would be awesome.

      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.

      That's actually a very good point, keepers should just stand tall and react to any sloppy penalties which are fairly central, if they are struck well and into the corners then there is no chance of saving them anyway.

      Or make them play with a smaller ball but make the goals bigger....

      Mine would be:

      Milner - placing and calm.
      VVD - rocket, take a chance.
      Trent - power, take a chance.
      Mane - power, take a chance.
      Salah - placing and took one under pressure for Egypt.

      In this order!

      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
      Trent and Hendo in your main list with Bobby in reserve and Milner taking last? Hmmm..... I'm just glad you're not Klopp.

      Hate to put a dampener on this but if it comes to penalties, we're not winning.

      I'd fancy Bobby but could I trust him not to take a no-look pen? Let's get his out the way first.

      1. Firmino
      2. Wijnaldum
      3. Robertson
      4. Salah
      5. Milner

      If 3 of them put them away we've done well IMO - would not be remotely confident about penalties.  Couldn't trust the captain not to balloon it over the bar.  Lovren and van Dijk I'm not confident.  Lot of pressure for Trent.  Mane would stick it on the post.

      Honestly believe Karius wouldn't be the 11th man on the list.

      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.

      Fair point but the instinctive saves are usually from packed boxes where an attacker doesn't have the time for a big run up, power and the full goal to aim for IMO.  Keepers usually narrowed down the angle  of the goal a lot IMO. 

      Under pressure a player will certainly have a preference for a side he feels most comfortable on and it makes sense for a keeper to try to anticipate this.

      Think I remember reading it was about 0.6 seconds from the ball being kicked to it going over the line, on average.  Would be a lot to process direction, react and then cover a 24 foot by 8 foot goal!

      It won't get to pens imo but if it does.....this....


      Milner
      Bobby
      Salah
      Lallana
      Hendo .....

      ...i think we'll do them within 90 just so long as we don't show too much respect, they are there to be beaten irrespective of the players they or reputation....

      As said, not a lot of lads I’d trust to take a pen....Mo, Milner and VVD I think would be our bankers but even then VVD is just based on him seeming a cool character.

      F**k it, Andy Robertson would nail his I’d bet, along with young TAA. So there’s my 5;

      Milner
      Salah
      TAA
      VVD
      Robertson

      No pressure lads, we’ve got no one outside you 5 :D
