KDB (last season v Everton) and Silva (v Soton in 2012!) only ever took one each for City and both missed.

Agüero is on 28/37 overall for City, which could be a lot better, but maybe we're just a bit spoilt after Elano (8/8), Tevez (13/16) Mario (8/8) and Yaya (14/14).

On commentary they said he has missed 7 of 15. If that is true I wouldn't call that fantastic.



Nor would I if that's the case, I certainly don't remember missing that many! I'd still have him taking them thou. The keeper was nearly a yard off his line yesterday but they don't seem to get pulled up on that nowadays


Missed 8 in his career. Missed 5 of the 12 he's taken in the CL.


Actually, he's missed 9, out of 40 taken in his career. 77.5% conversion rate isn't too great. With us, he's missed 9 out of 37, giving him a 75.6% conversion rate. A conversion rate of only 58.3% in the CL is atrocious, though.

Always felt confident when Big Mario was taking one!

Amazing that Tevez' numbers are so high, how penalties were always just to the side of the keeper.

With stats like that, let's hope the CL final doesn't come down to a penalty shoot-out. ;)

Funny how we won that final with scouse and what a penalty Navas took :lol:
To be fair, we had Big Dick Willy in goal.

Always felt that Aguero was wank, and now seeing those stats! He should not be allowed to take them.

Yaya obviously 1st choice, he always smashes them really hard which is the way to do it imo as even if the keeper gets a touch it will still hit back of the net.

Someone else needs to step up. I would have thought that Kev could do the business. Maybe someone like Mendy or another surprise package could do it. Raheem's peno was unstoppable!

Kdb and Silva are both even worse. Tevez missed a few cos he just wellied them, the best are the calm ones like balo and yaya. Failing that just give it to someone confident who can belt them!

Sterling's penalty last week was quite tidy. You simply do not save them in the top corner.

I'm fine with Sergio.
failing that, I'd pick Kolarov or Mase's dad: been told the good man kicked a screamer up son's arse, when the brat refused a gift to a scousers romp. :shock:

oh wait.... neither of them are elegible, my bad! :twisted:

2. "ACID QUEEN"
3. "never once fails to turn a football thread into a himseelf thread"
4. "thumbs stalker often resulting in repetitive thumb strain"
5. ignore the cunt. he's on permantent wum mission. only TIDs may know City

You'd need to make a very good psychiatrist in order to guess what next in a eight yrs long line of hatred...
