Penalties - post Luis

[Hookeysmith]

Anyone else?

[OCD]

We need to see what the squad looks like by the time the season starts.

Diaby, Bailey, Tielemans, new signings.

[AV84]

You'd think Watkins should be given another go, and realistically he's probably the only one almost guaranteed to be always on the pitch.

SJM said he was second choice (for Villa) after scoring one for Scotland a few months ago. After the way Watkins twatted one in against Lille I wouldn't mind giving him another try. He's a better player now than when he used to take them.

Obviously not sure if any of the impending arrivals have reputations as penalty takers.

If ever we are winning five-nil, I'd love to see Martinez take one.

[Dante Lavelli]

In an ideal world it would be Watkins but I just don’t think he’s confident enough.  Weirdly he could learn it but that could be a rocky journey.

I’d go Martinez (and I’m only half joking).

[Brazilian Villain]

Tielemans.

Apparently, Barrenechea is a also a penalty taker (took them for the Juve youth team).

[Holy Trinity]

Tielemans is a decent pen taker as is Digne but I think he'll be off. Watkins shouldn't because he's a confidence player and missing always seemed to play in his mind. SJM another shout.
Watkins would be my only concern taking them for the reason stated above. I think we have plenty who can step up.

Assuming we're building a squad to allow rotation we'd probably want to have several strong options.

I thought the title of the thread said Panties at first.

Erm, Tielemans or SJM i think or maybe Maatsen can take them.

[Toronto Villa]

Tielemans has an excellent career record from the spot.

You must have a filthy mind, we'd never have a thread like that on H&V.

[RamboandBruno]

Tielemans.

But did he take one against Lille, honestly can’t remember, or maybe he’d been subbed already?

[Monty]

Voted for Pau, not on any evidence, just has good penalty vibes.

[Goldenballs]

Not Watkins, his record is poor. Maybe Youri but he's not guaranteed to be on the pitch as much as Luiz was.
