Languid confidence, great for converting penalties and impressing the ladies.

On his last warning
Leon Knight was a brilliant penalty taker.
The year we went up via the Play-offs, Knight seemed to bag tons of Penalties. I'd be interested to know exactly how many pens he scored that season?

Fascinating stuff. I have never thought it credible that you can send the keeper the wrong way reliably or wait for them to move before shooting.
But as a statistician I can tell you this is starting to look statistically significant.

DO NOT FAIL TO LOOK AT THIS ARTICLE....!!
As well as being the top team of the 92 in 2016 (while Palace were being the worst) and having the stadium and the fans and Anthony Knockaert etc etc, in Tomer Hemed we have, arguably,...
THE CLEVEREST/BEST PENALTY TAKER IN EUROPE...!!
Very, very interesting. Tomer is looking very smart on the basis of this. Sample size is sufficient to give a reasonable level of confidence in the results

Wow!
Tomer, is now the BEST penalty taker in Europe!

Almost certainly our best ever spot kick taker of all time. We do have a great team.

Stupid IDIOT
Murray would have SMASHED him if had missed yesterday so even more pressure on him and he could have bottled it

Hemed takes great penalties and ultra calm. Thought him taking the pen yesterday was correct decision
a) because he scored
b) it shows he is confident still (despite not playing)
c) it keeps him connected to the first team and making a telling contribution...
Penalties SHOULD be easy but we all know they are not and Fulham fans will tell you their experiences of missing 5 out of 6.

Tomer has only scored 9 pens. Horton and Danny Wilson were nearly double that. Zamora wasn't too bad either.
That is quite excellent geekery.
Ah that clears up a Stat that Sky Sports News put out. They said it was his ninth goal of the season.

From those stats he's the best at sending the keeper the wrong way - several players in that chart have not missed a pen at all so are arguably better than Tomer
% scored is WAY more important than totals in this comparison though. Zamora was far from reliable from the spot for us, for example.
If I could choose the taker, based on my 30+ years watching, Hemed would be second only to David Lopez. Dean Hammond would be close behind (ignoring for a moment, that this means we'd have to have Dean Hammond actually playing).
None of those others are ISRAELI though, which will be a huge factor in the OP's choice

Stockdale is good at saving penalties. He does his homework

I know Brez wasn't a brilliant keeper but he did save penalties. Someone told me he had a photographic memory, and could tell you exactly which way penalty takers in any team would try to shoot.

Looked a little as though the Preston keeper had done his homework and outwitted him today by stepping slightly to his left but not actually 'moving' as such - that is, his weight wasn't moving left. So he was still balanced to dive whichever way Tomer put it - and he's not one to go for the corners. Having said that, from behind the goal it looked as though Tomer didn't have such a noticeable pause in his run up today?

Against Manchester City (the keeper saved it), but one of the Brightwell brothers (if memory serves) infringed so he got a second go... and didn't 'miss' again.
