Yeah Carragher missed as well. He scored first itme but had to re-take.

Hargreaves scored.

Dirk kuyt, rarely missed any penalties that he took.

Always thought Carrick took a decent penalty, until he missed one against Burnley(?)...

OP Sorry I don't have time to read all comments apologies if this has been mentioned, but Graham Alexander, ex Burnley, had a record of 72 from 77.

Leighton Baines has also never missed but not taken that many really.

Not mentioned

Baines is good at free kicks too, im watching Everton more this season and im really liking him as a player.

Baines missed v Chelsea.

I think Baines is quality, it's unfortunate for him that Ashley Cole has been so good and held the England shirt for a while.

Johnsons - Was that in 90 minutes or shoot-out?
Think I may have been thinking normal game time not shoot-outs

Fernando Torres never takes penalties.
======
He used to in his Atletico days.

Imagine if he had taken them at Liverpool though, could've had over 100 goals for Liverpool in 4 years

I cant believe nobody has mentioned Ray Stewart, of West Ham he scored over 70 penalties

Maybe its because he was Pre-Prem tho
----------------------------

Apparently he took 86 penalties and missed 10. Although he doesn't count 3 of those misses as he stuck the rebounds in.

Jan Molby scored 42 pens for Liverpool and missed only 3.


Baines did miss in the shootout not open play - whoever asked.

Berbatov..

rooney ronaldo van persie are good at penalties.

Alan Shearer personally was the best at them. I'd say Frank Lampard is definitely up there with candidates though!

Gerrard missed for england and has missed a few

im gunna say henry only ever missed one for arsenal if memory serves me right

Ballack is a good shout.

He used to absolutely muller them in the corners.

3 keepers wouldn't save his best pens.

He missed vs Chelsea. I was at the feckin ground.

Ballack – the best pen taker. So close to the post. No chance for the keeper.
Del Piero – master at making the keeper dive the wrong way
Cristiano Ronaldo – close to the middle but with so much power.
Molby – low drive. Difficult to save
Xabi Alonso – so accurate and great technique.
Van Persie – hits it hard but emotional that sometimes affects his concentration

Lamps for me, always feel confident he'll score when he steps up.
Ballack was also a quality penalty taker and Messi is quality at penalties as well, swear either him or Ronaldo had scored something like 40 on the bounce before missing in the semi's.

Anelka is one of the worst penalty takers i've ever seen, Matas pretty poor as well as is Silva, although Fabregas and Alonso are pretty good
