Ronaldo Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Le Tissier was handy at them. Le Tiss is the best penalty taker the PL has ever seen, but I couldn't ever have such a descipable man in our shirt, even for a few seconds. Rather Hitler stepped up. Go on then , I'll bite. Aside from his s**** punditry, how is Le Tiss such a c*** ? He's a horrible bastard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Mendieta I watched him miss the deciding pen in the Masters shootout for Boro the other year. Sliced it onto the post like a buffoon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakka Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 PENALTY POSER III Hi Martin, Gareth Barry smashed home another penalty at the Stadium of Light this weekend. I was wondering how he rates in the list of all time Premier League penalty takers in terms of both number of goals from the spot and conversion rate. Keep up the good work! All the best, George MARTIN SAYS: Well George, even with my trusty helpers here at skysports.com and the boffins at Opta I am afraid it would take far too long to sift through the record books and look at individual conversion rates from 12 yards. But, seeing as we are already on the subject of penalties, I can answer at least the main part of your question. Gareth Barry's penalty against Sunderland was, according to mine and Opta's records, the 21st he has taken in the Premier League and the 17th he has scored. I can find four misses, which is a success rate of around 81 per cent. That kick also took Barry to 10th in the Premier League all-time penalty scoring list, with Frank Lampard (19) the only current player having scored more. Player Premier League penalties scored Alan Shearer 58 Matthew Le Tissier 24 Thierry Henry 23 David Unsworth 23 Teddy Sheringham 21 Frank Lampard 19 Ruud van Nistelrooy 19 Peter Beardsley 18 Gareth Barry 17 Robbie Fowler 17 Gary McAllister 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Barry took one of the worst ones I've ever seen, at SJP when Souness was manager. Skied it well over the bar like a prat and probably kept Souey in a job for a few weeks longer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Shearer missed a fair few. Ipswich in the last minute? Sunderland (Sorenson saved)? Birmingham in the League Cup, Partizan in the Champions League shoot-out, though to be fair the amount of penalties he took it was obvious he'd miss some.

There were a few groans when that penalty went over as if it went in, it would have almost certainly seen Souness sacked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Wolves when we were neck and neck with Liverpool for 4th as well. We weren't just neck and neck, it was practically the last kick of the season and if he scored that penalty we'd have went into the Champions League denying Liverpool not only their place the following season, but from going on to actually win the thing. Such fine margins in football at times. Edit: wait, no, I'm wrong; it was only the final home game. Point still stands though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1tche Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 On the best pen takers I reckon Ruud van nistelrooy has to be up there. Same place every time side Netting just behind the post with power. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Has Shola ever missed a penalty? I can't recall one. Interesting, because with those long, gangly legs and his hit-and-miss finishing you wouldn't fancy him as a penalty-taker. A large part of it has to be in the head. Possible parallel - Shola and Le Tiss - both laid-back, unegotistical - perhaps unambitious characters who were content to see out their careers with their first club. Discuss.

Darth Crooks Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 LeTissier may well be able to ride a bike. I'll wager he's eaten a few apples (and kebabs) in his time. Never, never has he been captured doing both of these things at the same time...so he can keep his penalty record and his ability to score far more goals than wor Shols...the man is a bounder, and cad and a charlatan. Good day, sirrah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Shola excels at penalties because the ball is still and the goal is only 12 yards away, with no defenders between him and his target. (Only joking Shola, love you really) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
