Silva took and scored one for Portugal in the confederations cup didn't he? Anyone know if he took them for Sporting?

He did, think I read somewhere he had one of the best penalty stats in that league or something

[Legend_in_blue]

Forget the taker.  Winning the coin toss puts you at a disadvantage from the off.

[Collymore]

Iborra's penalty tonight was out of this world.

 

The replay afterwards from behind  it highlighted the genius in it. 

 

He kind of stroked it towards the centre, it picked up spin, and then placed into the very corner. 

 

His demeanor afterwards of "yeah get over it ..." just made it better! 

[Stevosevic]

Abysmal

The trouble with Vardy's pens is that when something works once, he keeps doing the same thing it until he misses. He seems unwilling or unable to mix it up.

[SystonFox]

Vardy can’t think that’s his issue. Because he scored putting it in the corner he thinks I’m going for it again whereas what he needs to do is mix it up, same run up but just open your body up and pass it into the opposite corner (right as Vardy looks at goal).

 

its that easy

[ajthefox]

They are both incredibly one dimensional when it comes to pens. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who called both of them to miss before they stepped up.

 

Anyone who has watched either of them stands a good chance of saving their pens.

Where was best finisher at the club/captain/legend?

Absolutely dreadful penalty taker. Seems to like hitting them at the easiest height for a keeper. 

 

People on here still defend him over penalties though in the past

You say it's that easy but I would argue that switching it is the obvious thing to do, so hitting it in the same place is probably less likely. It's quite easy to justify either and I don't think you can dismiss either for any particular player taking two pens in one game.

 

Having said that, I don't think Vardy ever opens himself up and puts it to his right. It is either a smash with his laces or it's inside of the boot and goes to the left to some extent. And that is my issue. It never changes.

With that record he should be no where near penalties.

Blasting it straight down the middle in his usual style would have been great, cos I think (I haven't checked; but if memory serves) Bravo dived for every penalty.

Get Gallagher back

Am I right in thinking he never missed a pen for us?

 

Can't think of a pen he actually missed.

Bravo dived the RIGHT way for every pen (unlike hamer)

 

Vardys first pen is unsaveable

 

He obviously thinks he just needs to do that every time ..........  but it isn't quite that simple 

 

[RowlattsFox]

Vardy is just hit and hope. Mahrez shouldn't take another penalty. We can't rely on either, we get a fair amount of penalties so we need to freshen it up, Fuchs was a quality penalty. No messing about. 

[m4DD0gg]

Club need to address this. Vardy and mahrez are amazing players and can surely be 'trained' to take a better penalty...especially mahrez. 

[Number 6]

We should point out that it's easier to take the first penalty than the last one. First 3 were dispatched so cooly though that it's certainly food for thought.

 

Vardy clearly been working on them too, neither was blasted down the middle and instead went for placement.

Apart from Maguire.

[Bob Hazels shorts]

Marhez and Vardy take them in their best interest not the teams

[ozleicester]

Didnt anyone see Maguire's... perfect.

 

Give him Peno duty, we all know that defenders are cooler under pressure

Silva: the new Inler.

 

Anything but this

[Lovejoy]

Adrian Silva has scored 25/29 penalties according to Transfermarkt. That's pretty decent.

[foxy boxing]

You miss some you score some! but we need to mix it up a bit with a penalty taker and not just Mahrez or Vardy who are prone to missing on the occasion. at the end of the day it is about being confident to take one and to know where you are going to hit it!
