Penalties - post Luis

[Olneythelonely]

Thank this God character that we have a couple of decent penalty takers these days.

Just like it seems that Man Utd will now always infect previously decent footballers with their shitness virus and there is nothing that anyone can do to stop it, is it time to accept that Villa-being-shit-at-penalties is now just a thing we have to live with?

Put them in a Villa shirt and Alan Shearer and Matthew Le Tissier would have turned into Diana Ross.

What an episode of "Stars In Their Eyes" that would have been.

They need to make being able to bring on special teams a thing. Then we could have AEG. We've always seemed to miss more than most teams in my time, even Sid missed a few.

[cdbearsfan]

I do feel we miss more than most teams. I have no stats to back that up, though.

[AV84]

I think the fact we've gone through maybe 5 penalty takers in the past year, and we've no confidence in any of them, suggests we might actually miss more than other teams.

[PeterWithesShin]

It was around 2000 when it seemed no one could score a penalty for us.

I imagine Luca Digne would take a mean penalty, he is great at free kicks

[PeterWithesShin]

Barry was decent but you always knew there was one over the bar in him.

I remember one against Reading which I think is still travelling today

[Perthvillan]

I've supported Villa for nearly 60 years and I can't remember a time like now where we don't have a confident penalty taker.
Since Dougie left we haven't replaced him on the spot kicks.
Asensio was only a stop gap anyway as he will probably not be with us next season.
On TV it looked like Ollie wanted to take the second penaly yesterday.
Maybe he should be given another chance to take the job on again.

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

Only the fourth time a player has missed two penalties in the same match since football began (Premier league history).

Not surprised to see two former Villa players on the list, one did it for us, one elsewhere.

Hmmm really?!

[aj2k77]

Those were two proper Angel level shit penalties.

Konsa, he’s the king of calmness. He’s a class act, he wouldn’t miss, would he?
