Sturridge has the confidence, shot accuracy and power for a penalty, Mata also has the comppsore too take one, and I'd love to see Luiz take them as well, it's between those three for me. Maybe Miereles as well but not sure if he's a penalty taker.
If Mata wanted to take them, I would let him.
He has been our best performer so far. Be nice to have the opportunity to pick up a few extra goals.
Sturridge took a couple for city scored vs arsenal with a penalty once
Mata-took them for Valencia
I don't like the idea of having one penalty taker. Get 5 or 6 of them to take turns so that they are all use to the pressure in case we have to win by a penalty shoot out in CL or something.
It also adds more variety for the opposing GKs to remember. GKs actually study penalty patterns before a game from what I have heard.
He hasn't takem then for years
Because he had Gerrard at Pool, Lamps at Chelsea, and Villa/Iniesta/Xavi for spain
If he was good at them he would still take them sometimes. The fact that he's only taken one in the past 4 years and missed it suggests to me he isn't a penalty taker
Well how could he take pens when he was behind Gerrard and Kuyt in the pecking order and at spain behind Villa and now at Chelsea behind Lampard
