You alluded to one being better than the other which isn't the case. Tammy would be my choice solely based on probably having more experience from the spot than our entire squad put together (something I've mentioned on numerous occasions). If you think he can't hack it or have the nerve in a CL GROUP GAME, he shouldn't be at the club in all fairness. I totally agree with your final point. Jorginho encouraged Barkley before he took it but Willian had to have his say. Barkley takes another PK for us, it will silence you. I'll wait for the moment [emoji6]

Our "regular" PK taker is in Madrid, last I checked. Azpi wouldn't have a voice in a empty room, so his actions aren't of much importance. I just hope Barkley takes another PK and such comments will be nullified.

Arrogance is the perfect word. He sees himself as some sort of WC talent when he's actually no better than a squad player. Guess Barca interest has gone to his head.

I'd take the manager's word ahead of a random that thinks he knows better. [emoji1360]

Have you seen Barkley take a penalty anywhere? You need to stop making assumptions based on things you've never seen. I would have vouched for Tammy to be first choice based on him have said experience you've alluded too, but he isn't cut out for that "pressure" just yet. Willian shouldn't be in the convo & Joringho's style is suspect to say the least. Forgotten the Carabao Cup final already?

This isn't a Solskjaer case; Lamps made things clear, so Willian/Joringho were the only ones in the wrong. Why can't people grasp that instead of coming up with their own theories. Lampard thinks he's the best candidate? First choice PK taker isn't some sort of holy grail. Salah is Liverpool's best player, yet, he plays second fiddle to Milner in that situation.

Doesn't know what end product is

True - https://youtu.be/Aq9waHBArdo Joringho takes it - See what happened in the Carabao Cup final? Digging more than grave at this point. Just voice your displeasure at Lampard's decision & move on.

Players change their target with every PK. Have you seen Barkley's penalties in his last three shootouts? I honestly have no problem with being first choice. Hazard is no longer here, so it ought to be a non-issue.

That has no bearing, though. Same as Cahill being captain last season despite never playing. Every possible candidate was on the pitch, so what's the issue aside from people being against the idea

Check his record in shootouts for us. You ain't in any position to say who should or shouldn't be the taker and have no bearing on the matter either. Lampard made his decision, so those surrounding him should shoulder most of the blame.

That should clear up the PK talk

He's scored in all the shootouts we've had, so Lampard obviously believes he's the most reliable. Joringho's style isn't one that encourages you (final against City).

Not read my first reply or unable to?

Bilbao are title challengers? [emoji42]

Abraham leading the line and Giroud out wide or vice versa? Doesn't seem probable to me The side that were completely outplayed and should have lost for the second time this season? Please stop with these needless hot takes

Didn't think I could dislike him any more. Que this - Doesn't deserve a bit of praise after pulling this stunt. A nobody here thinking they are the bee's knees.

I thought we went to 4-4-2 late on

Agree 100% with your second point. Moving Pedro to RWB to exploit the massive gaps could have proven decisive. Lampard needs to learn quickly

He tends to fade away, so leaving him as a late introduction made sense. Not bringing him on at all was baffling.

We were in complete control when Mount came off and he still failed to make the right call. Two CF's at 0-0 with Pedro & Willian as your wide men?! This is basic shit

Still haven't won a home game. Lampard needs to sort out his dreadful subs. Pedro was never the answer in a billion years.

Thinks he's someone important

Disgraceful from the the team. Why are they arguing?!

That's an obvious PK
