ousefox Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Still stuck to my guns and say Drinkwater should take them. Think he has the best strike in the squad. based on all the goals he's scored for us?
foxes161 Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Just give it vardy who should of always took them
demon_dog Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Cost us all three points. Bet Shinji could take a good peno, get to have go.
Jackster21 Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 I think Vardy should take all the penalties from now on, however I wouldn't mind Fuchs or Drinkwater.
Steve Earle Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 I remember reading once that statistically just over 75% of penalties are converted. Nugent's success rate was below that, as is Mahrez's. I can't think of any good reason why we'd give Mahrez the chance to miss four in a season. Vardy from now on, and then Ulloa for me, maybe Fuchs.
Wolfox Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 This thread should've stopped after one post... Give it to the German... I believe they are rather good at converting penalties?
pleatout Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Still stuck to my guns and say Drinkwater should take them. Think he has the best strike in the squad. Sadly unable to get it on target most of the time though.
lcfcbobby Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 I have always said that your main striker on the pitch at the time should take penalty's! Everyone goes on about shearer being the premier league top goalscorer on 260 and the reason for that is the 100 penalty's he scored! Besides how many times does a striker have a bad game then score a penalty then go on to be great after that and possibly score another!
David Hankey Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Anyone other than Mahrez as his misses recently, without being too critical, have cost us 4 points. Schmeichel has a thumping right foot on him!!
The Doctor Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Didn't Wasyl used to take them for Anderlecht? Given Huths bang out of form might be a good way to kill two birds with one stone
LCFC FOX Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Sadly unable to get it on target most of the time though. like the one yesterday? Or the one at Spurs? Drinky hardly ever shoots. But when he does it's normally s good strike.
EGBFitness Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Anyone see how much Vardy looked pissed off? One that he wasn't taken and second when Mahrez missed. I don't mind who takes it and to an extent if they score or miss as long as it is a good penalty. Low, weak and down the middle is not a good penalty.
pazzerfox Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Mahrez should never be let near a penalty again. He never fills me with confidence when he steps up and always gives the keeper half a chance to save it. I'd let Kasper take them. He'd take the keepers hand off if he got near it. Penalty's should be hit with pace not fanny taps like Mahrez does.

Didn't even follow the penalty up, just stood there with his hands on his hips.
CharlieCharles Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Mahrez as mentioned above never fills me with confidence either. Even against Everton he gave the keeper a chance. For me penalties should be smashed, if you smash a penalty the keeper has to hope he comes into contact with the ball, even a hand to it and it could very easily still ping in.

Nah, smash it and you're always reliant on a bit of luck, bt in the placement vs power trade off you do need to pick one of them
filbertway Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Always prefer a smash, Gallagher was class at it. Vardy's give the keeper no chance. Elliott used to do the same back in the day. Even if the keeper gets a touch on it, there's usually too much power to keep it out.
Harry - LCFC Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Nah, smash it and you're always reliant on a bit of luck, bt in the placement vs power trade off you do need to pick one of them Mahrez relies on luck. He's shown he can't pick out the corner that often so it just becomes a matter of the keeper going the right way.
The Doctor Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 Mahrez relies on luck. He's shown he can't pick out the corner that often so it just becomes a matter of the keeper going the right way. Well yes, but if you get placement right then you give the keeper no chance what so ever, power is far more erratic. Problem is Mahrez hasn't really been choosing either.
weller54 Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 I'd have more faith in Kermo stepping up to take one than Mahrez next time!
Len Finsbury Posted 17 January 2016 Posted 17 January 2016 I'm sure the penalty taker at a club is determined by some sort of competition to evaluate the best person for the job but despite having possibly the most skill in the squad, Mahrez always appears a shy, retiring sort of chap. I'd rather penalties be taken by a player that's always confident, like Vardy or Fuchs. Scoring ten out of ten in training is very different from taking them in a game.
