Does anyone know if Diouf and/or Bojan have been penalty takers for their previous clubs? I doubt if Walters or Adam will get too many starts this season (or if indeed they will still be with us by the end of the window) Ethers has left the club and Arnie has yet to prove he can take them consistently, so we must hope that our new strikers are lethal from the spot.

I think the only reason Arnie took it yesterday was that he won it

N'zonzi took a good penalty against Birmingham in the cup. He just blasted it

Odemwingie will be the taker if on the pitch

Yes Wingie would be my pick, with back-up of Adam then Bojan
Please not Walters

I didn't think Arnie's penalty was too bad. Struck hard and it wasn't down the middle, but it was just a little too close to the goalkeeper and just right height.

I don't really feel at ease when Marko takes a penalty.
We need someone more like Beattie which, regardless of the direction of the goalkeeper dive, he's not going to get there either way because of the power and accuracy.

If Bojan is trained like Messi is on penalties he will be unstoppable.
Still cant believe Messi missed that one in the CL semi against Chelsea two years ago. He never misses

Wilko. in penalty shootouts he has never missed has he? |

Charlie Adam if he's on the pitch, surely?

without seeing much of them from pens, but basing it on their technique, composure etc, I'd be pretty confident if any of the following stepped up:-
Whelan
Muniesa
Wilson
Adam
N'Zonzi
Ireland
Bojan
Odemwingie
Diouf
Sidwell

If he is ever on the field and we are up by 3 or more goals, we have to let Wilko take one.
Imagine the mental

Beattie was exceptional at peno's - in the Shearer mould, you don't get many that can take peno's like that. |

Adam, if he's on the pitch, which looks like it won't be that often, then whelan, nzonzi, Diouf, odemwingie, bojan, Shawcross. Hell, anyone but walters or Arnie.

Post by dozintheseventees on Jul 30, 2014 16:45:49 GMT
My guess is it will be Bojan when he's on the pitch.
Funny how so many full backs end up taking penalties though........what's Bardsley like?

You have to say that when he's on the pitch Adam is the first penalty taker, but failing that it look likes Whelan is the only one capable.

Bardsley or Diouf.
Probably Bardsley assuming he plays
