I have chosen Guessand. I choose to believe he's the best penalty taker in the world until proven otherwise.

Scored two, missed one (his most recent).

You telling me it's a 66.6% conversion rate? What are we waiting for?!

I've never seen Bizot miss one for us, so I pick him.

Seem to remember Cash nailing one or two in shoot-outs for us and he's in a rich vein of goalscoring form.

Look at the best penalty takers Ronaldo Kane Haarland none of them mess about running around in curves, stopping and running really fast on the spot or delaying the shot hoping to see the keeper move to one side, it’s all an absolute load of bollocks

They just put the ball down stand on the edge of the box and bang it to one side of the goalkeeper really hard It’s fucking simple. The fact that professional footballers especially strikers can’t hit the ball properly from the spot to one side of the goalkeeper at pace is quite unbelievable really

I know not every penalty will be scored but if you take them properly no messing about you’re gonna get nine out of 10
So I would just pick the Villa player that takes a penalty like that whoever that might be

Completely.
Our best penalty-takers in the last 2 or 3 decades were Gazza Bazza and Benteke: both simply put their foot through the ball - hard! - and challenged the keeper to keep it out; most times the keeper failed.
