Teale's 'tache 764 Report post Posted July 31 Depends who's on the pitch, Wesley most likely, Grealish, Hourihane possibly, it's a good job Adomah has left after the shoot out incident! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
withes_shin 259 Report post Posted July 31 Watching the Walsall friendly it looked as if Hourihane was preparing himself to take the penalty but Wesley strolled over, collected the ball, put it down and picked his spot in the net. I'd guess Wesley is on spot kick duty - seems to have a lot of confidence about himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Junxs 2,475 Report post Posted July 31 Gotta be Wesley, not only was he oozing with confidence the way he took that one against Walsall, but I think its important to keep your striker ticking over in the goals column. If your striker isn't scoring regularly it starts to affect his game, we need to try and keep Wesley on the ball. Plus with VAR this season there will be more penalties than ever, I'm expecting all sorts of records to be broken in penalties being awarded like in the world cup there seemed to be 1 or 2 every game 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wilko154 2,853 Report post Posted July 31 The order for me, bearing in mind who is on the pitch at any time: 1. Wesley 2. Kodjia 3. Hourihane 4. Grealish However there are possible shouts for Jota, Trezeguet, El Ghazi, McGinn or Luiz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That said, it was one of those slow casual run ups (not quite a stutter) which personally I am not a fan of. I was never totally convinced with Tammy to be honest. 49 minutes ago, wilko154 said: The order for me, bearing in mind who is on the pitch at any time: 1. Wesley 2. Kodjia 3. Hourihane 4.

Hobbit Feet 133 Report post Posted July 31 I’m up for it. I remember one time when I played semi pro I was just breaking in to the first team as a youngster we had a shoot out and I put my hand up to take one my manger ignored me until no one else put there hand up, anyway I smashed my pen into the top corner and after that I was picked first. So yeah I’m game to take one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bannedfromHandV 4,465 Report post Posted July 31 Well if it's anything like my old Sunday League team it'll be whoever wins the penalties competition the week before the season starts. Something tells me it's probably not like my old Sunday League team though........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman22 222 Report post Posted July 31 I think Wesley will be the pen taker if on the pitch. This is about right IMO. 1 hour ago, wilko154 said: The order for me, bearing in mind who is on the pitch at any time: 1. Wesley 2. Kodjia 3. Hourihane 4. Grealish I was never too confident with the Tammy pens. Even the winning pen in the shoot out against West Brom was poor. With VAR in this year I think the number of pens is going to rise so we need to take ours when they come. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You forget that VAR will also take away the unfairly given penatlies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sharkyvilla 4,354 Report post Posted July 31 Man I'd forgotten all about the Whelan penalty! Thank **** he missed it. I generally prefer it when a striker wants to take the responsibility of taking penalties so hopefully Wes bangs in a shitload. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
useless 6,682 Report post Posted July 31 Wesley wasn't the regular penalty taker for Club Brugge, it was Hans Vanaken, if not him then Jelle Vossen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
