Penalty taker

[Megadrive Man]

Fabinho's penalty record is really good. 24/25

I don't really understand the hate for Salah taking penalties? His record is pretty good overall.

Overall, yeah it's not too shabby.

 

But since the start of 21/22, we've had 11 pens in the league. He's scored 7 and missed 4. That's pretty poor by anyone's standard.

He doesn’t strike the ball as clean as he used to. Not just pens either. But he still scores plenty as he’s great at getting into the right positions.

And isn't that 4 out of his last 5?

I think it's three of his last five, but I could be wrong.

I went for Big Dom just because he seems to be good at everything! James Milner was boss, as reliable as Phil Neale!

Missed against Soton in 2017!

Never worried about Milner missing, do everytime with Mo.

Maybe. I had it in my head he missed 3 last season and then missed one this year. But that might have been 2 last year. 

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Szoboszlai, Mac Allister and Gakpo all look like good options to me.

 

Salah never really looked too convincing to me, and his record of late is quite poor.

Salah is one of the worst penalty takes we have ever had.

 

You sure about that?

 

His Premier League record for Liverpool is scored 20; missed/saved 5.

Recency effect: he missed a few of his last five, therefore he's always been shit and always will be.

His record was great till the last couple of years but imo he's needs taken off them at the momentas its cost us sone vital points and it seems to be in his own head at the moment. He'd probably go mad if we did it though. Mac Callister would be my go to,scored 9/10.

I think the last couple of months is closer. The miss at Bournemouth was the start of it. Prior to that I don't think we'd had a pen for a year.

I watched that. The keepers knew where he was going on most and dived the right way but couldn't get near them.

Like the story from Bruce Grobbelaar's early career and took his team's penalties as he was Captain. 

An opposition goalie was so astonished another goalie was taking a penalty against him that he demanded to know which side Brucie was going to place it. Brucie told him which side and after scoring said to him 'I didn't tell you how high or how low I was going to place it though.'

He missed the pen in a defeat to Leicester in the year we finished runners up. 

 

Missed last year in the defeat to Bournemouth and in the draw with Arsenal. Put them two away and we are on 70pts and we don't go into the Southampton game half arsed last year and possibly scrape 4th. 

 

He's cost us and Eygypt sone big moments with pens over the last 2 years. Just feels to me time to move it on to someone else

To be honest, I don't remember the Leicester one - but we seem to get them away at Xmas sometimes, so if it was I was likely smashed out with the lads! Haha. 

 

He's deffo been shite since Bournemouth away last year though. As I mentioned earlier, I'd take him off them. I don't think that'll happen though.

Not one penalty between March 1939 and August 1946. They've always been against us.

Don't really care who takes pens because on the one hand, they're a lot of the time a stat padding thing for the best goal scorer on the team, and on the other, we can't see who is best at them in training. It's one of those things for me like the captaincy that isn't really worth talking about.

Training ground pens wouldn't tell you much anyway, takes a big set of bollocks to pull it off in a high pressure situation, and there's none bigger than a champions league final. 

[The Golden Eel]

Mad to think that Suarez took two and missed both. Scored 61 in 81 in his last two seasons despite none being penalties. Some going

I mean, not to shit on Salah's ability to take pens, he has proven he is decent at them, but the Champs League Final, he just smacked it down the middle. And Lloris is probably the worst keeper at saving them.

 

The one for Egypt where he qualified them for the World Cup was pretty momentous.

Across those two seasons, we got 19 penalties as well. 

 

Also noticed we had three penalties in a win over the Mancs, Gerrard scoring two and missing one. I'd forgotten that. That's pretty mad too.
