Do we need a new penalty taker?

Saint Domingo · March 17, 2019

Yes, he had one thing to do today and almost messed that up.

Bob Elstone · March 17, 2019

Needs taking off. Missed far too many.

Baffling that Sigurdsson's record has been so poor this season, he was absolutely lethal on pens at Swansea and used to be an expert at sticking them top corner to make them essentially un-saveable. But 50% conversion is nowhere near good enough and he should be taken off them.

It's actually a bit of a problem for us, Rooney was horrible on pens last season as well.

Yes. Give it to DCL

Bigger club. Bigger pressure.

ForeverBlue92 · March 17, 2019

Give it to Werner when he signs

FTY · March 17, 2019

Yeah let our new 50m striker take them next season, we might not even get another pen this season

JelavicBrate2 · March 17, 2019

Probably a debate for another day, let's just enjoy the win and complain when we are brought back to earth against West Ham.

MikeH72 · March 17, 2019

Yes it is.

Serious question MF, you honestly thought GS played well today ?
Personally, I thought he was non-existent first half and only marginally better second half.

The penalty was a shocker and he has to thank Kepa for pushing the ball back out for him.

Yeah I thought he was alright

Catfish Blues · March 17, 2019

Yes we do.
If what happened today, happened next season, then the goal wouldn't have counted.

evertonarntwe · March 17, 2019

Would give them to dcl me. Digne probably be the best taker but any striker prem standard should be able to slot pens anyway so would get his tally up

mceverton · March 17, 2019

I never feel confident watching him take a penalty, his run up seems quite short as well which always fills me with doubt for some reason.

Get Unsworth to give him a few coaching sessions on how to take a proper penalty
