GP seems to be like the nurse at a primary school, there to comfort, but not help you achieve anything other than to stop crying and make sure the Head master doesn't have to call your mum.

He ( Maupay ) needs iodine gently dabbing on his wound and then he can run back to the top playground and show everyone .

If he is caught continuously crying though ?

Nope. Not the first he's missed in recent times which turned out to be crucial (Leicester & Liverpool spring to mind).

I would like to see Dunk step up as our penalty taker.he is the captain and would add to his goal tally.

Not a bad shout in all honesty, he make lack in finesse being a centre back and stopper, but he knows how to lead by example, and can certainly put his foot through a ball.

I often think that players over think when trying to take a penalty, just aim for one of the corners, hit the ball with power, and nine times out of ten you should succeed. To stand any chance of saving a penalty the keeper has to react instantly, and/or get very lucky indeed.

I'm sure there was a thread just like this one a few years ago with the title of "When should Pascal Gross take another penalty". Now everyone's forgotten that and he's the dogs whatsists again.

Here we are - found it.

It starts off with, we've got our man - best penalty taker the world has ever seen. Around page 3 or 4 he's started to miss a few, - bloody useless! get rid! Now its all forgotten - and he's the dogs bollox again. I love NSC :clap2:

His desire to boost his goalscoring stats exceed his abilities from the spot. As others have mentioned, he looks indecisive, he looks short of confidence.

Probably the best penalty taker I've seen in recent times is Harry Kane. He nearly always slams it to the keepers right, which should make him predictable - but he does it so well, with such force and accuracy into the side-netting that it makes no difference, keepers can never get near it. That consistency can only come with relentless practice, making it almost a muscle-memory thing for him.

Maupay is simply nowhere near that level. His pens are all over the shop. I don't even think he knows what he's going to do in his run-up.

Buried his wolves one. He'll probably take the next pen we have if he's on the pitch, unless Gross is also on the pitch. But the best pen last night was Propper's, and that was also the one with most pressure on it. So maybe he should do it next??

Exactly... practice, practice, practice

Must admit, I was absolutely CACKING it when Propper stepped up.

In open play, that bloke couldn't hit the side of a ferry if he was standing on the dock.

Said in the summer I didn’t particularly rate him, nothing has changed.

Little presence physically, questionable attitude, not the greatest finisher and re penalties, not any time soon.

His most redeeming feature is his ability to wind up several irritating opponents..... Loved it when he mocked Grealish’s hair last season......
