He slows down but doesn't stop.

This. It amazes me when people say his technique should be banned, he's always moving forwards. I don't think I've seen a better penalty taker, even including Elano.

There's times where I swear he stops..its close though.

If he stops, it's a yellow card and freekick. You can bet the refs would be looking for it as well, so no he doesn't.

That being said I am fully onboard with the general sentiment, never seen a better penalty taker than Balotelli, I never think he'll miss in a City shirt.

I know he hasn't missed one for us yet but neither did Elano. Does anyone have the number of penalty kicks that Elano took ?
