mjmooney Posted July 31, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2019 Wesley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teale's 'tache Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withes_shin Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Hopefully it's Grealish taking them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 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........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman22 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forget that VAR will also take away the unfairly given penatlies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Wesley wasn't the regular penalty taker for Club Brugge, it was Hans Vanaken, if not him then Jelle Vossen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
