New penalty taker?

[Evil Monkey]

With Austin out for a while and Tadic/JWP not playing regularly, who do we think will be on pens? Jrod? VVD? Did Bertrand take one once?

I reckon it would be either J Rod or Bertrand.

 

I don't understand why VvD doesn't take our free kicks. Having seen some of the free kicks he took at Celtic, he would be better suited than JWP (who has only ever scored 1 if I recall correctly).

[Saint_Ash]

Doesn't Davis take them?

[ALWAYS_SFC]

VVD for me but it will be Puel`s fault if someones misses ..

[Lallana's Left Peg]

Give it to VVD. Have him take a 15 yard run up and hit it as hard as he can. I don't care if he misses. I bet he doesn't.

JWP has the best free kick and the best delivery out of any of our players - by a long way.

 

it's hard to score from free kicks - http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/9804389/cristiano-ronaldo-free-kick-goals-are-rare-show-whoscored-com-stats

 

JRod or Tadic i guess for the pens.

[Saints foreva]

I've never been confident with Tadic standing over the penalties.

[Dellman]

Tadic, no no we've seen enough of that. VVD for me, he inspires confidence. JRod and JWP would make me nervous because I think they would be nervous.

[Saint_clark]

It'll be Tadic but I'd like to see either Bertrand or Davis take them.

I remember Davis missing one at Barnsley in the League Cup. He hit it as weak as Tadic does, but got lucky and put the rebound in.

 

Hopefully, the Club Historian will confirm this. Even though he was suffering from a life-threatening hornet sting on his upper thigh at the time.

I thought he scored it but the keeper should have saved it?

[qwertyell]

Bertrand's taken and scored one for us before, hasn't he?

[verlaine1979]

Davis, Tadic & JRod all a bit hit and miss as finishers - I'd imagine VVD probably strikes a clean penalty, which is half the battle.

[Dark Munster]

It'll certainly be his fault if two players start fighting over who's going to take it.

[The Cat]

We'll be massively in trouble if the League Cup semi goes to penalties. Barely anyone taking them inspires confidence, and Forster never seems to get near to saving any.

[Saintsteve7]

Jwp strikes the cleanest ball so I'd be happy for him to step up. Although, with our current rotation policy we'll need 3/4 regular takers

Tadic cannot take penalties - end of - finito....

Number 1! Sign this guy and he can do the free kicks and other set pieces. Not bad.

[kitch]

Not Tadic!

 

Either JWP, VVD or Bertrand for me. J-Rod's done fairly well in the past for us from the spot too, IIRC.

[simondo]

Bertrand only took that one last season because he was the only outfield player on the pitch who hadn't scored that season

any penalties, or any shots full stop?

[Saint Pete]

JWP should take if fit. If not I would go with Bertrand. Strikes a good ball and has good temperament.
