Have we had one since the opening day? Ing scored with last kick of the game at Watford so think if he's on the pitch he takes it just to get his goal tally up a bit before season is out.

Certainly Coutinho if he isn't on the pitch.

Yeah we had one week after vs Newcastle and El Ghazi took it even though Ings was on the pitch and had scored the 1st with his overhead kick. It was a time when the set pieces were working!
We got the second when Mings was going to score a header but defender handballed it!

I’d guess between Coutinho and Ings.
A bit of an outsider would be Ramsey. His goals this season have shown that he’s calm in front of goal with a terrific shot

Only ever taken one in his entire career, 9 years ago!

Clubs like ours don't get given penalties so it's a bit of a moot point

Home to Newcastle, when El Ghazi scored.

The only penalties we seem to get are the punitive kind.

Konsa took a really good one v Chelsea in the cup, slotted it into the top corner no problem.

When you see shoot outs like yesterday it shows teams have finally taken them seriously now in preparation instead of just saying it's a "lottery."

Would be a massive shame if we never get to a penalty shoot out with Emi in goal as you'd back him to save at least two no problem.

The best penalty by miles that I've seen in a shoot out of late was the Middlesbrough defender, Sol Bamba. Couple of steps, great body shape, no hesitating or skipping bollocks, just hit it cleanly with his laces into the bottom corner, in the manner the subs do when they're knocking passes to each other at half time.

A clear penalty will not be awarded to us at Citeh.  It will go to VAR.  They will look at 20 times and still not come to a conclusion.  The referee will be asked to go the monitor.  As the commentator will say, we all know what usually happens in these situations.  Cue Darren England being only the 2nd referee in history to stay with his on field decision.  Season over.
