-----------------
I know Alonso missed the one in normal time, did he not take one in the shootout?

In fairness to the tottenham fan, I do recall Utd get a ridiculous pen vs Spurs at OT when 0-2 down. And they ended up winning 5-2.

That said, a penalty Chelsea got at Anfield 4-5 years ago when Malouda shoved Carragher over and then fell down was laughable.

Which has no bearing on the article! If we wanted to discuss the decisions that United get then thats a seperate matter altogether.

I just hate it when you are having a nice debate and theres always one idiot who tries to ruin it.

I feel everyone has a right to an opinion and feel it is weak to filter, but some people on JA606 should be banned. I like the funny wums but some people are so bitter is unbelievable!

Liverpool as a team have always had good penalty takers though, they seem to have the confidence at spot kicks.

Beckham was a good taker, but people remember his 'sky it' pen vs Portugal and vs Turkey.

Plus also his historic pen at Sapporo which he scored was actually a crap pen.

Lampard also missed when we needed it most in Euro 2004 and WC 2006. He and Gerrard are ok penalty takers, nothing special.

Balotelli and Hazard's penalties are top notch.

Lampard missed for England, but he has also scored the highest number for England in our history.

Also a machine at them for chelsea, missed 6 in 11 years out of about 60 or something.

Top penalty taker. Definitely more than 'ok'.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Leighton Baines had a 100% record

People kept mentioning Germans...Bastian Schweinsteiger comes to mind, CL Final 2012

Lampard takes a good penalty but he gets lots of practise

Chelsea is a penalty winning machine - 3 out of 4 games so far!

Leighton Baines and Mario Balotelli ( i know many dont like him) have 100% penalty records.

Should have had penalties versus QPR and Juventus too.

posted on 21/9/12

How many have Balotelli and Baines taken though. Gerrard and Lampard have been taking penalties for years, law of averages means they will miss some.

Baines has missed two versus Chelsea

Once in an FA Cup shootout, and in the league.

So that 100% record thing is BS.

John Terry?

JT has scored 2/3 to be fair.

Red Connoisseur you are talking dross.

Neither Lampard or Gerrard missed in Euro 2004 (Gerrard wasn't even on the pitch, he was subbed in the 81st minute). They both missed in World Cup 2006 though, so you got something right with your pure guesswork.

Lampard scored an equaliser to make it 2-2 vs Portugal.

He wasnt among the 5 takers. bizarre I know. Vassell was our 5th taker And some guy called Sinclair even took one.

Made eh?

Lampard was our best player after Rooney in that tournament.

posted on 21/9/12

which tournament did Lamps and Gerrard both miss?

Hargreaves was the only one to make one I think.

Balotelli!!! He's never missed !
