Tuna Posted 27 August 2016 Posted 27 August 2016 We've missed an awful lot of penalties lately (3 out of the last 7 if I'm correct) and I've lost confidence in Mahrez. Technique for penalties is awful, even the one he scored against Hull was crap. I'm not even sure why Vardy isn't taking them. Who should be our regular taker?
ScouseFox Posted 27 August 2016 Posted 27 August 2016 on the plus side at least we are still getting bare pens. just gotta start scoring them now.
Jaspa Posted 27 August 2016 Posted 27 August 2016 I wasnt a bad pen really, hes picked a corner and probably shouldve hit it harder but the keeper has done well there If its policy to take players off pens when they dont score one or its a decision for the manager/players as to who takes them then thats how it'll get processed, shouldnt be a big deal. Basically the only negative from today, the ref was abit of a tw**
Mezeker Posted 27 August 2016 Posted 27 August 2016 I feel like Okazaki is probably our best penalty taker but i voted Vardy.
TMELcfc Posted 27 August 2016 Posted 27 August 2016 When we get a penalty... I don't feel confident... Mahrez should be benched... he needs to sort his life out. Amartey on the other hand... BEAST!!
LanguedocFox Posted 27 August 2016 Posted 27 August 2016 I've not voted, because I really don't have an idea, but whoever takes it should simply smash it into the top corner. I know it was only a friendly, but the pens against Celtic were all brilliant.

brucey Posted 27 August 2016 Posted 27 August 2016 I assume Mahrez was put back on penalties this season to build his confidence/form as Claudio has said he's a confidence player. Also to keep him as happy as possible while the contract situation was ongoing. Plus Vardy skied the most recent pen last season as well. Think Claudio will go back to Vardy. No idea who the best is though. Edit: I wonder if part of the reason for the poorly taken pen was that Mahrez has changed his run-up technique, last season he would stagger his run-up, this season he has not done that I assume because of some new PL rule about staggering run-ups? Looked to me almost like he instinctively wanted to stagger, but in the middle of the run-up realised he couldn't, and that threw him off somewhat? Or maybe he's just not very good at pens
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 27 August 2016 Posted 27 August 2016 Now missed at least four for us. Can't go on. Vardy for me please
Benguin Posted 27 August 2016 Posted 27 August 2016 I think that if they are okay too and feeling confident whoever won it takes it. That said I feel more confident with caddy than Maghreb

WigstonWanderer Posted 27 August 2016 Posted 27 August 2016 Fuchs Edit: How about Schmeichel? Loads of power!
Soar Fox Posted 27 August 2016 Posted 27 August 2016 Ulloa whenever he is on the pitch, if he's not Vardy. Mahrez is an awful penalty taker, never looks confident and has no power when taking it.
stevelcfc Posted 27 August 2016 Posted 27 August 2016 Fuchs, Amartey took a good one vs celtic and Leo with his balls of steel.
Finnegan Posted 27 August 2016 Posted 27 August 2016 Vards. Mahrez is a brilliant footballer and we're lucky to have him but he's a dreadful penalty taker. We need to grow a pair and just tell him that.

ScouseFox Posted 27 August 2016 Posted 27 August 2016 bit rich that people are suggesting players who've never taken one. on the face of it mahrez should be able to take a penalty easily and put it in the side netting or the top corner. he's got fantastic technique and can strike a ball. but it's mindset as much as anything. vardy for me, or ulloa. both can score pens and both have got balls.
