Penalty takers

Who should be our third choice penalty taker (after Drogba and Lampard)?

  1. 1. Who should take our spot-kicks? (Remember good penalty takers such as Kalou and Malouda aren't always on the pitch...)

Leboeuf was the best, he only missed 1 for us out of 20 ish and i was at the game against Blackburn 98/99. Great save onto the post by Filan or whatever his name was. I hated Blackburn, we never beat them lol.

Mata scored against QPR in the FA Cup but now has a Downing-esque record.

Hazard would be my first choice. It looks like doesn't feel stress at all when kicking one, you can't tell where's gonna kick and he rarely if ever misses. He scored all 9 penalties for Lille last year and scored two on international duty.

I posted this at the Hazard thread already, but it might be worth checking out for you guys as well.

from Hazard in the Belgium vs Montenegro international game.

Hazard should definately be number 2 spot taker, but saying he should be first choice atm is a bit of a stretch. No one i would trust more with a penalty than lampard, and he has the record to prove it.

Voted for Hazard. Don't like any of the third options. Luiz has been mixed and Mata's kicks have looked pretty soft so far and is more of a finesse kicker than you'd like from a penalty-taker. Ideally, I'd like to see Sturridge learn how to take penalties. He has the confidence and heavy shot that can equal success. Obviously, if we sign another striker, they could be next in line. Really, you only need two players who can take them.
