Gerrard on Penalty Duty

[magicalbarnes]

I think Owen and Fowler are to blame - they missed far too many IMO especially Owen (someone quoted the stats earlier - very poor return).

Fowler was a great penalty taker. I dont have the exact stats but i would think he missed about 3 out of 30.

What's the law now regarding the run up to penalties? I always thought that it had to be a continuous run up but Ronaldo literally stops half- way, and never gets picked up on it.

[Los Rojos]

Fair enough and I don't want to overly criticise Robbie but I just wasn't fully confident when he stood up to take a penalty.

I can think of 3 misses straight away - Arsenal away (famous Seaman incident), Liberec at home in UEFA cup and Everton away (when Gary Mac scored from our penalty box). I'm sure there were more misses than that, but yeah, he was a better penalty taker than Owen.

[enema of the state]

Best peno taker ive seen is Mendieta.

almost never missed

id put molby a close second for lfc

ive seen mendietta and id put the 2 above as both better. id also say cantona at his best and zidane where better peno takers

[Mattimetal]

Did Babel score in the U21's shootout against England?

yip twice

[bacon]

he hits them really weak, so if the keeper picks the right way he will always save it.

I cant understand anyone as natural a scorer as him not being good at penalties.

Kewell

Did you see his pen in the Asia Cup?

[AFII]

First pen

[ningnangnong]

To be fair, no one gives a **** about the Asian Cup.

[Diego]

i'm starting to get very confident in gerrard on the spot, his penalties have vastly improved, he used to convert every other pen but now he almost puts them all away...

Fowler was a great penalty taker. I dont have the exact stats but i would think he missed about 3 out of 30.

I think Fowler had a 100% record up until the Seaman incident in 97, then after that and his injury around the same time I think his record was only just better than 1 in 2

[Dan]

I think Danny Murphys career has been a real shame, hes a really good player and great at set pieces.
I like Danny.

Super, superdan,
super, superdan,
super, superdan,
Super Danny Murphy

[Warren]

I remember seeing Jan Molby scoring a hat-trick of penalties against Coventry City in the League Cup. He is our top scorer from Pens.
