i do believe Pep said he doesnt include penalty practice in training.

Now there was a man who could take penalties the way they're supposed to be taken.

right now I'd put Kun as far away from penalties as possible and let Nacho take them when he is on the field. I'd give KDB another chance even though his effort yesterday was pathetic.

They should take it upon themselves if that's the case.

I absolutely adore Silva, one of my all time fave City players at this stage, but god damn he would be horrible choice. He has zero accuracy or power in his shot. Hell no.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

I echo the thoughts of Nacho and then if nobody else is deadly accurate give it to someone who will smash em at least. Kolarov or someone similar who will at least kick the thing with some conviction.
Tracking back is overrated.

Gundogan. Took the one for Dortmund in champions league final when they were 1-0 down. As my son said, probably doesn't get anymore pressure than that.

Maybe if we tell Silva to pass it into the top corner he can do but agreed his finishing, when he does actually shoot is the only thing that lets him down.

Would like to see Kevin given another chance on them but Aguero should have been off them at the start of the season let alone now

Silva is not the choice.
Aguero should continue taking them.

Sure I've seen Silva score good penalties for Spain. Although he's the highest scoring Spanish midfielder of all time so he definitely has different shooting boots on when he is on international duty.

Yes, yes.

Against Neuer. He was cool as fuck. People call him Coolio, but I think we will see when we get there.

Tell one of the best strikers in the world and the best at the club that you don't trust them to score from a few yards. Do more damage than good. Stick with him.

Since and including his miss against Barca in March 2015 he's missed 6 from 18 for City, at what point do we decide enough is enough?

Dunno mate.. I can see your side too. I'm not deeply committed to keeping him on them I just think the whole confidence thing could fuck him more if we take him off penners.

You can't change the pen taker just yet it could cause problems in the team. it's Aguero. Prior to last season's mess ups he was money.

Well whoever it's going to be, I hope he/they are practising like fuck because we've got a hell of a run of games leading up to the next internationals break and missing penalties in any of those games could cost us dear.
