Evil Monkey Posted 19 December, 2016 Share Posted 19 December, 2016 With Austin out for a while and Tadic/JWP not playing regularly, who do we think will be on pens? Jrod? VVD? Did Bertrand take one once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKD Posted 19 December, 2016 Share Posted 19 December, 2016 With Austin out for a while and Tadic/JWP not playing regularly, who do we think will be on pens? Jrod? VVD? Did Bertrand take one once? I reckon it would be either J Rod or Bertrand. I don't understand why VvD doesn't take our free kicks. Having seen some of the free kicks he took at Celtic, he would be better suited than JWP (who has only ever scored 1 if I recall correctly).

ALWAYS_SFC Posted 19 December, 2016 Share Posted 19 December, 2016 VVD for me but it will be Puel`s fault if someones misses .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 19 December, 2016 Share Posted 19 December, 2016 Give it to VVD. Have him take a 15 yard run up and hit it as hard as he can. I don't care if he misses. I bet he doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen some of the free kicks he took at Celtic, he would be better suited than JWP (who has only ever scored 1 if I recall correctly). JWP has the best free kick and the best delivery out of any of our players - by a long way. it's hard to score from free kicks - http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/9804389/cristiano-ronaldo-free-kick-goals-are-rare-show-whoscored-com-stats JRod or Tadic i guess for the pens.

Saints foreva Posted 19 December, 2016 Share Posted 19 December, 2016 I've never been confident with Tadic standing over the penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellman Posted 19 December, 2016 Share Posted 19 December, 2016 Tadic, no no we've seen enough of that. VVD for me, he inspires confidence. JRod and JWP would make me nervous because I think they would be nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 19 December, 2016 Share Posted 19 December, 2016 It'll be Tadic but I'd like to see either Bertrand or Davis take them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lets B Avenue Posted 19 December, 2016 Share Posted 19 December, 2016 It'll be Tadic but I'd like to see either Bertrand or Davis take them. I remember Davis missing one at Barnsley in the League Cup. He hit it as weak as Tadic does, but got lucky and put the rebound in. Hopefully, the Club Historian will confirm this. Even though he was suffering from a life-threatening hornet sting on his upper thigh at the time. (Almost true story) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwertyell Posted 19 December, 2016 Share Posted 19 December, 2016 Bertrand's taken and scored one for us before, hasn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verlaine1979 Posted 19 December, 2016 Share Posted 19 December, 2016 Davis, Tadic & JRod all a bit hit and miss as finishers - I'd imagine VVD probably strikes a clean penalty, which is half the battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Munster Posted 19 December, 2016 Share Posted 19 December, 2016 VVD for me but it will be Puel`s fault if someones misses .. It'll certainly be his fault if two players start fighting over who's going to take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 19 December, 2016 Share Posted 19 December, 2016 We'll be massively in trouble if the League Cup semi goes to penalties. Barely anyone taking them inspires confidence, and Forster never seems to get near to saving any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsteve7 Posted 19 December, 2016 Share Posted 19 December, 2016 Jwp strikes the cleanest ball so I'd be happy for him to step up. Although, with our current rotation policy we'll need 3/4 regular takers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii Posted 19 December, 2016 Share Posted 19 December, 2016 [video=youtube_share;Sc37Kk6quFM] Number 1! Sign this guy and he can do the free kicks and other set pieces. Not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitch Posted 20 December, 2016 Share Posted 20 December, 2016 Not Tadic! Either JWP, VVD or Bertrand for me. J-Rod's done fairly well in the past for us from the spot too, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simondo Posted 20 December, 2016 Share Posted 20 December, 2016 Bertrand only took that one last season because he was the only outfield player on the pitch who hadn't scored that season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Pete Posted 20 December, 2016 Share Posted 20 December, 2016 JWP should take if fit. If not I would go with Bertrand. Strikes a good ball and has good temperament. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
