Penalty Takers

chicoazul · April 17, 2009

Hopefully not.

Baines, Saha, Osman, Pienaar, Cahill though.

GrandOldTeam · April 17, 2009

Would agree.

Out of interest, would anyone take penalties before the game?

chicoazul · April 17, 2009

Yes mate. I well would.

ToxtethBlue · April 17, 2009

Baines would take one I reckon.

I doubt Pienaar would to be honest.

No thanks.

I don't have any faith in Howard to save them and their players are far more used to big pressure shoot outs.

Gotta win it in 120 mins i reckon (y)

AndreiK · April 17, 2009

Saha, Lescott, Pienaar, Fellaini, Cahill - They would be the pen takers for me

Just wanted to test out this live topic thing

I reckon Jags will take one, he's got the experience and hits it pretty solid. He was picked against Fiorentina when we had Yak, Arteta and Gravs, all who are probably higher up the order than our current takers. Saha, Osman and Cahill would all probably take one too, not sure about the last one, maybe Baines or Pienaar. I wouldn't mind if Vaughan came on at the death for one

so, for me it will be Saha, Osman, Jagielka, Cahill and Vaughan.

Also, deffo wouldn't want the game to go to penalties, not with Howard in goal. Correct me if I'm wrong but 2 Years and no penalty saves for Everton.. From about 20 chances? Not the best ratio..

Was it all you hoped for?

Penaltys, I dont think ive ever seen us win a peno shootout. Im sure we have at some point, but all I can recall is heartache.

Its a lottery, you can practise them for 100 hours a week, its all about the day.

Neiler · April 18, 2009

Saha
Fellaini
Osman
Baines
Cahill/Pienarr.

*Think Neville would want to sneak in their woulnt he.

Gerard_Francis · April 18, 2009

Saha, Cahill, Fellaini, Osman, Baines

micknick · April 18, 2009

Didnt Jags take pens at Sheffield?

Saha
Baines
Jags
Cahill
Fellaini

Winner me.

BigBlueConk · April 18, 2009

I reckon Pienaar would pass it square!

Jags is primary pen taker on football manager and keeps missing!

So yeah, think the likely suspects all named.
Baines, Jags, Ossie, Saha, Cahill.

However, I am CERTAIN (feel it in my bones) we will win 2-1 in normal time.

Dom1878 · April 18, 2009

Saha, Baines, Jagielka, Cahill and Neville.

Baines/Jagielka have both taken penaltys for their previous clubs. Neville is the captain and he will want to take one. The others are just common sense over the others really.

Nah...Lescott scores in hte 5th minute, then United pressure us all match, hit the post 3 times, bar once. Then in the dying minutes, United have a corner, VDS comes up to try and get an equaliser. Its punched away by Howard, the ball falls to Baines on the edge of the Area, he sees Neville making a run through the center, Baines passes to Neville - on the half way line, Neville looks up, sees Ferdinand closing down on him, Neville goes for GOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL ahdsiuoghsidoghsiduhfuofhuasoasgdyaif.

Gonna happen - Nailed on.
