Penalty taker

Myko for me. The main reason is I have him to score the 1st & last every game. Always good odds.

This is really why I’m asking. Could be a sneaky bargain if we know who the penalty taker is.

I won a small amount on him last season with his odds 66/1. He was 50/1 on Saturday so hopefully will still be good odds until he bangs a few in.

Did Iwobi ever take any at Arsenal? I think he'd step up.

Not sure where all this we don't get penalties comes from, had two at Burnley and one v Brentford in last two months of the season which were all converted comfortably by Richarlison.

Can’t even believe this is a thread ??

Who takes pens ffs ??

Sorry… no offence intended

I imagine priority would go to the striker so rondon would probably take it

In the pen shootout v qpr last season Mason Holgate stepped up first then Michael Keane, Townsend, Gray and Gordon

With Gordon being given the number 10 shirt and being a set piece taker it wouldn’t suprise me if he’s also high up in the pecking order

As long as whoever it is doesn't do one of those stupid little run up things, I don't care who takes them.

No offense taken! But doesn't seem to be a good answer if DCL is out and Richy is gone. Mostly just curious, slightly want to bet on someone scoring if we suspect they take the pens...

247 matches played, 0 penalties attempted.

But he could be a possibility.

I suspect Gordon or Gray would take it. Both seem like they'd be eager to grab the ball.

I feel like Gordon would do a Mirallas, take the ball off Gray then miss. I wouldn’t be confident if either of them took one.

It’s probably only Pickford in the current team that could strike the ball well enough for us to be confident he wouldn’t mess it up.
