Morning, hope everyone is well.
As a United fan i have to endure 3 missed penalties in the last couple of weeks. That subject has been quite hot topic on our boards especially the Nani miss.
This brings me to my article and question.
Who is the best penalty taker that you have seen?
I am likely to get crucified for this but for me it is Steven Gerrard. I cant recall him missing one, and he always puts his penalties away with no pressure and in the toughest surroundings.
Another stat i picked up on was that Matt Le Tissier only ever missed 1 penalty in his career!
Anyways guys, thoughts please!
Admins please multi board if possible.

Alan Shearer personally was the best at them. I'd say Frank Lampard is definitely up there with candidates though!

Ballack is a good shout.
He used to absolutely muller them in the corners.
3 keepers wouldn't save his best pens.

Leighton Baines has also never missed but not taken that many really.

Ballack – the best pen taker. So close to the post. No chance for the keeper.
Del Piero – master at making the keeper dive the wrong way
Cristiano Ronaldo – close to the middle but with so much power.
Molby – low drive. Difficult to save
Xabi Alonso – so accurate and great technique.
Van Persie – hits it hard but emotional that sometimes affects his concentration

Lamps for me, always feel confident he'll score when he steps up.
Ballack was also a quality penalty taker and Messi is quality at penalties as well, swear either him or Ronaldo had scored something like 40 on the bounce before missing in the semi's.
Anelka is one of the worst penalty takers i've ever seen, Matas pretty poor as well as is Silva, although Fabregas and Alonso are pretty good
