Gerrard does very well.

Kuyt can take one well, as can Alonso and Kewell.

 

Babel maybe?

 

I wouldn't trust Torres even though he is immense.

Gerrard is a mediocre peno taker

He puts more away than he misses. Rooney is a mediocre penalty taker not Gerrard.

I think he has improved immensely, he definitely WAS mediocre but his penalties lately have been good. Kuyt showed in the Derby he's got the composure. Either he or Gerrard will be on the pitch 90% of the time so it's unlikely we need to look any further.

 

I reckon Lucas will be good at them

I think Carra would plant a few in the onion bag given the chance.

That can't be your criteria. Surely? If someone had taken 20 pens and missed 3 I'd say they were mediocre.

 

17 out of 20 is nowhere near mediocre. Thats a very good penalty scoring Ratio.

It's decent but very good?

 

For very good see Van Nistelroy (until that importnant f*ck up against Arsenal) and Matt Le Tissier- 1 in 49 missed I think!

 

Like what Rory said about Danny Murphy and the way he put the ball up- Ziege and Lothar Matthaus used to do that and rarely missed.

Didn't Van Nistelrooy miss 3 in a row once for the Mancs?

He always put them in the same place and everyone got onto it.

 

A good or very good penalty taker really shouldn't miss more than one in twenty. There's a place you can put them where it's literally unstoppable. Murphy had it down to a fine art. It's all mental. The Chorleyman was always an excellent penalty taker despite being unable to pass it ten yards.

Kuyt if he's on the pitch, if not I'd go with Gerrard, he's really improved at them lately. I reckon Babel could be good in the future but wouldn't trust him just yet.

I think Voronin and Aurelio would do good, Riise is a good penalty taker as well, even if he missed in Istanbul, but that was down to an excellent save.

Gerrard would have missed yesterday's if it'd still been 0-0. I don't have confidence in him. He'd have had the pressure of 3 points & spunked it. The Derby game too.

 

I think Torres would be a good penno taker. Based on absolutely nothing apart from he knows where the goal is
