Yeah go into them with a bit of confidence nowadays which is nice. Which inevitably means we will lose the next one lol.
Our performances need to improve though. Although we rotated the team it’s not good drawing these games.

Think the ideal order for our squad would be something like this :

1st - Lukaku/Werner (both favour less pressure)
2nd - Havertz/Mount
3rd - Alonso/Chilwell/James
4th - Azpi (captain should always step up imo)
5th - Jorginho

Depends on whether the captain is a good penalty taker or not surely...

Technically scoring a penalty shouldn't be an issue for any professional football player, it's about shouldering the burden of potentially missing. If he can't handle that you need to start asking why he's captain in the first place.

If the captain is the keeper, that's the exception. He's got enough responsibility in a shoot out situation.

As we know there is a certain skill and head space required to take a penalty successfully.. it's not in every players DNA

I never feel more confident, needing to score the last pen to win, than when I see Reece strolling up with the ball!!
