Penalty takers

IF AA is not on the pitch : 

1. it’s possibly career suicide for RM to allow Archer the chance to make amends - if he misses then the lynch mob for Russell will be out pitchforks and all. If he scores he should not have put him in that position either…no win there so it’s a pass from me. Just like his last penalty Effort 😭. 
2. IF BBD is on the pitch and there is no AA  them I’m guessing it’s him. Though he probably will NOT be on the pitch given his form is bad. 
3. If there is no AA, no BBD, and Archer excuses himself then who is next? 
Some options: 

If it’s at Bournemouth I’m not certain letting Weeman or Lallana have a go is the right choice. Though they would be headline making penalty takers. Captain Flynn does not seem to fancy pens, Mateus’ penalty in the shootout was a bit flukey down the middle imo whereas I liked THB’s effort and if he’s on pitch it’s a fair shout imo.
 

On balance though and with an eye to building his confidence even higher I’d go with our young nerves of steel Tyler if he’s on the pitch. Slot it in Tyler! 😁

IMO, Ross Stewart took the most assured penalty in the cup shoot out. So we just need to make sure we only venture into the opposition's box when he's on the pitch...

Given how few touches we have in the opposition box anyway, I think we can make this happen.

you’re right. I’d forgotten his pen. If he is on the pitch then it’s a good shout.
Having said that and knowing this forum,  maybe it’s another career suicide choice/trap you’re setting for RM. RM can be accused of stupidity if he chose RS to take it and he misses but also same if he scores because the bloke has not scored a pen since 2020.
