colhint Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I don't think Ollie is a penalty taker. I think he has too much time to think about it. He's much better flying in and get a shot away. Having said that we now have a squad not a first team and reserves. Given that whoever is the penalty taker won't always be on the pitch when pens come around. So who would be your 5 penalty takers in the squad. I'll start 1 Tielemans 2 Digne I just think he's got that Milner calm professional trait 3 Dougie 4 JJ 5 SJM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And McGinn has the accuracy to place the ball at pace in the corners. Watkins I want to be our striker for a number of years, but he can't be relied on to take penalties, the numbers show that.

Zatman Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Luiz or Tielemans then maybe McGinn(I think he has taken one or two for Scotland). After that maybe Torres or Ramsey I wouldnt be against Emi doing a Chilavert and taking one if needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Yeah Ollie's record is poor with penalties. Needs to be taken off of them to maintain good confidence in his general play. Has scored 4, Missed 5 in his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) Id rather Emi Martinez took one before Ollie had another go. On a serious note, I'd give them to Luiz, Tielemans, McGinn, JJ and Diaby. Edited August 3, 2023 by StewieGriffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
