Liverpool have missed five of their six penalties in the Premier League this season. They are the first team in Premier League history to miss five penalties in a season.
If we had scored these 5 penalties where would we be in the league? Couldn't be bothered to work it out, just wondered if anyone knew....
Liverpool's penalty woes

1. Suarez v Sunderland. Blasted miles over ala Charlie Adam but scored shortly after, so can't tell if we lost any points there.
2. Adam v Wigan. 2 points dropped. Dominated that game..
3. Kuyt v everton. worth 0 points
4. Downing, 0 points again
5. Kuyt v Arsenal. Again we scored shortly after. So hard to tell.
It's more been down to wasting chances and hitting the woodwork

We would have had 5 more points Sunderland 2 Wigan 2 and Arsenal 1. Everton game we won anyway as did we in the Chelsea game last night.
Would have put us on 57pts (still no CL though)

Like I said last week when it comes to penalties step forward Daniel Murphy. Obviously he no longer plays for us. I really don't know who should be our regular pen taker. Gerrard when he's on the pitch but even he's been missing them. Couldn't someone completely different take the spot kicks like Carragher if playing or Skrtel.
This is quite a serious issue that will need addressing for next season (amongst many other things) since Liverpool often get at least 7/8 penalties a season which as discussed can sometimes be the difference between 1 and 3 points.

Adam v Cardiff. Ball still travelling but we won anyway.

Whoever is penalty taker next season, stick with them!
There is no point changing every time someone misses.
For me Suarez should be pen taker and if he misses one he should still be pen taker.
