Tomaszk Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Watkins with 0 votes from over 40 so far, and it's definitely going to be him I actually think Kamara would likely just knock it into the corners for fun. Technique and composure is all you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenfly Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Mad how Watkins has no votes. I was torn between him and Bailey, but I just think Leon would handle the pressure better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Also mad that young has the most votes and barely anyone has mentioned him. Sure he'd have the composure, experience and ability to cope with pressure, as well as the technique to actually hit it on target. If he's not on the pitch I'd probably say one of Bailey or Buendia. Watkins I don't have any faith in, Ramsey too young, McGinn not sure about, and Moreno know nothing about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I think Douglas is worth a try. My head says give Young the responsibility but I recall last time he was with us he choked on a few. But 10 years on I'd be happy to see how he goes now. I wouldn't be totally against Ollie taking them but he's such a confidence player I would worry a miss or two would badly affect other areas of his game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you trust him from 12 ?... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlobalVillan Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 It's Watkins. I'm surprised this is even a question if I'm honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If for whatever reason you cant score a penalty then dont take them. Where were you when Harry Kane needed this advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughable Chimp Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Ashley Young's penalty record(not including shootouts) is 5 scored to 3 missed. That's not a good return. I'd go with luiz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I don't think I could stomach Luiz missing a pen doing a silly Jorginho pen. He'd definitely try it eventually when he got bored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see him take them. Paraguay' had a goalkeeper called Chilavert who scored 67 goals and played in goal. Science says that the more powerful the kick is the greater the pen taker. We must follow the science. Way back in the mists of time, before Sky invented real football, Alex Stepney the Man U goal keeper used to take their penalties.I think it was the year they got relegated from the first division and at Christmas he was their leading, or joint leading goal scorer on 2. Anyone born after 1992 won’t know this because Sky have had this wiped from history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason it is a question is exactly because it naturally should be Watkins but people aren’t convinced he might be the best person for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Whoever is confident enough to want to take them. I would go for Coutinho, Buendia or Digne (whoever is on the pitch, if/when we get one) or perhaps our new striker will demand the ball?

CVByrne Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) I'd say it'll be given to Ollie for now. It will change then in summer. I think Bailey is probably the best finisher or JJ. Baileys finishes against City, United, Leeds were all excellent. Statistically he scores more than his xG and has done so consistently.

Exactly like Ings was, don’t understand why people so worried . What would usually happen if we won a penalty in the first 70mins when Danny Ings wasn’t on the pitch?

Some people thought we never got our fair share of penalties but really the club spoke to the ref before the match and told them not to bother giving us a penalty during those periods even if it was a nailed on penalty. Referee’s being the fair, balanced and completely unbiased Man Utd people they are were shocked and occasionally didn’t comply but most of the time when us the fans shouted for a legitimate penalty, the ref would wave away the foul in accordance with the clubs wishes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
