Gerrard or Agger (has the required technique and cool calm mentality IMO).

Kuyt as third choice, if he's on the pitch of course.

Agger over Kuyt in terms of taking penalties? No chance.

Gerrard 1. Kuyt 2. Adam 3.

maybe not kuyt, but i'd have agger before adam, that left foot of aggers is a rocket.

Dirk, Gerrard and maybe Agger.

Suarez isn't actually that bad at pens. He was good for Ajax, and I've seen him take some good ones recently for Uruguay. His finishing seems to have gone to shit this season though.

I love Suarez, but he'd be even better if he fapped less around (like with the penaltyt) and just tried to be more cynical and to-the-point.

This. How can anyone dispute that Gerrard shouln't be?

Gerrard. End of.

If the final were to go to penalties. Gerrard, Adam, Suarez, Bellamy and Kuyt, in that order.

I'd trust Gerrard over Kuyt in a high pressure situation. I know Kuyt scored the pen to send us to the European Cup Final in 2007 but I still trust Stevie more.

Agger's a good shout, can smash it and he has ice running through his veins - just what you need.

But like every other shoot out, you give it to whoever wants it most.

imnofreak · « **Reply #454 on:** February 22, 2012, 06:01:57 am »

Kuyt, Gerrard, Adam.

Why Kuyt so low? He's only had 1 pen saved in his entire time at the club, and even it was due to a good save. Seems odd?

Should take em if it goes to penalties on Sunday.

Never been a fan of giving the penalties to a player in 'need' of a goal. Said it when Suarez missed on the first day of the season, said it when Carroll missed against Chelsea and said it again when Suarez missed against Brighton. Obviously it helps said player if it goes in but it adds further pressure to that player if they miss. For me:

1) Gerrard
2) Kuyt
3) Adam

Jason_King · « **Reply #462 on:** February 22, 2012, 05:11:09 pm »

Stevie, Dirk has always been reliable and I would have Carragher in there. That pen he scored against Birmingham years ago was unsaveable, great pen.

I'm not sure about Suarez. I think I'd rather have Downing take one. Or even Agger.

Fuck me, I wouldn't let Downing within 100 yards of a penno in a Wembley final.

And experience has gone so well this season. It's a professional football player putting a ball in a net, and he happens to have the best goalkeeper to practice on. Sidenote, I'm getting this tattoo'd on my back, what do you think?

Anyone not putting Kuyt up there is insane though. He's missed ONE penalty since he's been here.
