John Terry :coffee:

Robin van Persie. Has only missed something like two penalties in his whole Arsenal career.

Nasri is also great at them from what I recall.

Lol I agree with this man

Nasri's record is impeccable, albeit only because he's only take a couple of penalties for us. Most of them just go down the centre of the goal.

By comparison, van Persie always hits his into the corner with a lot of power. I'm pretty sure he's never had a penalty saved.

Its pretty hard to define a good penalty taker

Is it how often they put it in the net or the the way they put it in the net?
Totti's backheel penalty in training shows that he has such confidence and talent when taking a penalty that he doesn't need to score a whole lot penalty goal to be branded as a good penalty taker

lol true

he misses some,but when he scores its pure class

by Guiltybystander Mon Jul 18, 2011 1:42 am

Oh right, Abreu is insanity. Is he called up for Uruguay? They should've put him in in extra time just to let him take a penalty. Funny shit that would have been.

by Ali Mon Jul 18, 2011 2:21 am

RVP

and wtf BERBATOV? does anyone remember his penalty against EVERTON Razz

?

by Kick Mon Jul 18, 2011 3:13 am

Lampard has always been good.

by Uruguay Mon Jul 18, 2011 3:19 am

Everybody knows Abreu now, the goalkeepers would simply not move xD

by Forza_Barca Mon Jul 18, 2011 3:22 am

ronaldinho

by BeautifulGame Mon Jul 18, 2011 3:24 am

Ballack.

by McLewis Mon Jul 18, 2011 3:28 am

Abreu's panenka penalties are awesome....absolutely loved his peno in the WC last year....

as for me personally, it's Totti of course....he did miss a couple in recent seasons, but he's a class act when he steps up....doesn't worry me at all.

by ErPupone Mon Jul 18, 2011 4:21 am

Nicolas Burdisso apparently

Messi is one of the calmest and best takers.
Nasri is great penalty taker so is RVP.
Ronaldo is great penalty taker.
ronaldinho, Cesc, lampard, Gerrard.

Gotta hand it to Uruguay last night, their penalties were top drawer

The only one I remember is the big one CL final that's about it.

by Jack Daniels Mon Jul 18, 2011 5:00 am

CR missed a penalty in his first season in RM.. It was placed in by benzema in the rebound.

Del Piero is my pick.

lampard showed his class at the spot against west ham two seasons ago, three spot kicks in 2mins for frank lampard at upton park (taking into account their history) absolute nerves of steel right there

although CR7, ballack, and del piero do spring to mind too
