GOAT 30,449 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Watching an interview wae Gerrard and Gary neville, his exact words ”I don’t understand how teams can have penalty takers that aren’t forwards” 😂😂😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPWF 8,203 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 He used to hit penalties for Liverpool and he wasn’t a forward 🤷🏼♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yollie-RFC 16 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Based on Tavs conversion rate with penalties previously i could see why he was on them. Alfredo should never have been given the penalty against them as it was in head to score. Widnae mind letting barisic take one see how that pans out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueboyG 5,222 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Any player worth their salt should be able to take penalties, it's all about confidence, if you can't strike a ball well your not a good footballer, don't agree that it should be strikers either.

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 With one notable exception for McAllister both him and Gerrard took penalties and both are amongst the best penalty takers ever - neither a forward - it’s a confidence thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Hitting the set-pieces is a specialty whether it’s free-kicks or penalties. Some put in a lot of extra training to improve at them. The two best dead ball strikers we have are Tav and Barisic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

born a blue nose 90,693 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Think this might be Gerrard hinting he’s moving Tav to RW? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomatasauce 1,253 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Mendieta for Valencia was one of the best I’ve seen, he used to watch what direction the keeper went and just flick it to the opposite side I might be wrong here, but did wee nacho not miss just one penalty in his Rangers career? good goin if correct, that’s the kind of ratio we all expect, no mean feat tho you see the best in the business miss them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears 792 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Wonder if Kent could have a try. Has the confidence certainly in the big games. Wouldn't be surprised if we've tried him taking them in training. Certainly improved his ability in front of goal recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Robot 21,132 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Every training session the whole team would each take a pen in turn and if you missed you were out. This went on until there was the last guy who put all his away. Most of the time it was us strikers who were the last ones standing. Strikers definitely the best footballers for pens.

Jimfanciesthedude 24,479 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Big amo took a couple for us and literally just blootered the ball, if the keeper got anywhere near it he'd end up in the goals as well Its all about confidence in how you hit a dead ball, fuck all to do with your position on the park Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
