I don't get this. When he's confident, yes, you can. When he's not, no, you can't. 

 

If people think those three or four pens after he'd missed a couple, when he fired them at the space occupied at the whistle by the keeper's knee caps, were good, then god knows what they're taking. Sometimes, his confidence goes, like Gerrard's went, like just about anyone's goes, and then, if you're remotely sane, you WILL doubt him.. Are you asking people to ignore any reality and demand blind faith? Doubts come and go depending on the evidence in front of your eyes. 

I'm asking people to acknowledge that he scores 5 out of every 6, which is better than most of our penalty takers.

Scored 30 out of 36 penalties for us. 
 

A better record than Gerrard for instance.

 

Out of the players who have taken more than 10 penalties for us, only Aldridge, Mølby, Milner and Hodgson have better records. 

 

 

An actually interesting statistic. 
Gordon Hodgson, know your role and score a pen. 
The mad thing with Salah for me is despite his absolute undisputed class he seems capable of the odd shockingly poor bit of play, I’m not really sure why. I love him but he’s a strange player. Things like his pen against the arse play on my mind when he steps up ( less so these days).
