Hernandez v Klitch!..

The Pole does indeed have a good penalty record. He was the number one taker for FC Twente back in 2016-17. He took six and scored six for the Dutch side. In fact, he has missed just once from the spot, whilst playing for PEC Zwolle back in 2013.

Considering his composed and relaxed style, Klich has the attributes to be a penalty taker for Leeds. Capable of placing the ball or hammering it home he

And to make it clear

I’d have him has taker, because he hits a lovely ball. (Phillips be ok too)

I just don’t like rolling in pens

It was a great penalty. He waited that split second until the keeper moved and just stroked it in.

It takes balls to do it but he has them I guess.

Next time he will smash it top left. Why do some think he will do the same thing ?

More likely to roll it in again

He mixes it about, a keepers nightmare as far as pens go, they watch videos off pen takers and know a bit about them, them that mix it they know nothing about which way or how its going to go, that's how it should be!..

I hate the ones that are just smashed down the middle. Cheap shots.

I can just imagine Waley foaming at the mouth when he sees Lyle Taylor taking a penalty

Scored 45. Means he scores just under 9 out of 10.

He aint bad.

Put away 13 since his last miss.

Pablo isn't good at pens.

Klich should be taking them, good record and strikes the ball well. Calm player as well, seemed to love thr responsibility.

Got to say I'm always disappointed when strikers don't want to take the pen. Chance for a free goal, you should be wanting it and scoring every time as a striker.

Don’t know about rolling them in, Johnny Giles according to Ronnie Hilton was the popper in of penalties

Thought it was a great pen. Tbh I don`t care how it`s end`s up in the back of the net. He can take his kn*b out and hump the f`ing ball if he likes, I don`t care AS long as he score

Not yet convinced by Klich for pens. This was a no-pressure penalty against an injured keeper. Klich was clever to put it to the keeper's right - he had hurt his right leg in a clash with Eddie - but that's all it was. Eddie's penalty for the U23's against Watford was much cooler. Agreed, no pressure, but no keeper would have saved it.

Ffs.......

Is this a wind up?

So you criticise Klich for a no pressure penalty (which is nonsense because we needed that goal) and yet say Nketiah is better because he scored a good one in an U23 game that ended 6-0? Seems a bit silly to me.

What does it matter that he's put it the side the keeper may have been injured? That's part of being a smart penalty taker. You put it where you're most comfortable that it's going to go in, and take advantage of anything that you have over the keeper.

We are generally pretty poor at penalties. Klich rolled it in against a weakened keeper. I just prefer a no-nonsense striker of the ball who gives the keeper no chance. In a high stakes game, who do you think would keep the coolest head?

And I suppose all his other successful penalties were taken against weaker keepers too?

You didn't answer the question, Lubo. Klich is a lovely, technical player, but he does bottle a lot of shots at critical times. A penalty at a critical time??? He wouldn't be my first choice.

It was a great pen, how it can be said otherwise is beyond me

I'm not sure what a pressure penalty is, to me they're all the same, Klitch has a good record with them, National team he's got them as well, sure there is more pressure than the one at Barnsley!..

Thing is, anyone can take a penalty, its a 50/50 thing, you can send the ball wherever you want but if the keeper goes the right way he has as much chance of stopping it as you have scoring!..

And sometimes luck plays a big part both ways!..

If you watched the game you'll see it was Cooper that stepped in and allowed Klich to take the penalty.

He took it well and confidently. Doesn't matter how they go in as long as they do. Bamford is the usual penalty taker I believe but happy to be corrected.

Given that the opposition was Barnsley and this is Leeds United we are talking about, I think it was a pressure point. They could have broken away from a missed penalty and scored (as we are all aware).

2-0 up almost guaranteed the points.

"If you watched the game you'll see it was Cooper that stepped in and allowed Klich to take the penalty."

As seem as I wasn't home when the game was played I missed everything, but, I've watched the highlights and you see nothing with Cooper giving the pen to Klitch, so, sorry I missed it!..

And the Barnsley and pressure, if any player goes up to take a pen and thinks pressure against any opposition, than they shouldn't be taking the pen, playing a league game or a cup game, they're all the same, a game off footy that both teams want to win and like I said, I think there'd be more pressure for the National team than your club team!..

Pressure in a cup semi or final, or play off game ok, but not little ol Barnsley or any other league team!..
