I imagine RvP will get his fair crack at some point...and perhaps Eduardo and Cesc at points too.
But yeah, it's Gilberto's job to lose.

RvP...
Gilberto makes me very uneasy.

Gilberto, as long as he doesn't send 'em flying over the goal like that one match last year (didn't Ade miss one, too?)

I think Ade only took one and he made it. Baps on the other hand was 0-3 or 0-4 on penalties last year.
But yeah, Bert only missed 2 last year. The first was against Man U where he slipped and the second was against Bolton in the fa cup. He is solid taking them so its all him

I get that iffy feeling from Fabregas, he seems more 50/50 to make 'em. It's gotta be Bert and Robin.

In the ManUtd match, his supporting leg slipped just as he was about to shoot.
But I'm more comfortable with RVP. Besides, he's in my Fantasy league team :)

So its settled, RVP will take our penalties, because we all secretly know GoonerMan is Arsene and he listens to what we say :D .

v. Persie took one against Charlton and put it away with confidence. I hope he takes them because good free kick takers are usually good penalty takers (Becks:rolleyes: ) and i want him to get his goal tally up, because 8 of C. Ronaldo's 18-20 goals are going to be from the spot.

1. RvP - looks confident when taking them (both from the spot and set-pieces)
2. Gilberto - can look uneasy (like there's too much pressure is on his shoulders) at times

While I think that RVP is our best PK choice it remains to be seen whether our likely captain(Gilberto) will relinquish that role to him.
IMO, there isn't a single goaltender in the world that can stop a single RVP kick that is on target. He simply has too much velocity on his kick. A stopped shot is just back luck, IMO.

Kinda like Henry we should let RvP take them unless he gets fouled. Next in line should be Gilberto. After that im not really sure, Eduardo maybe?

King Kolo! Right down the gut everytime taking the keeper with it.

1. RvP : I remember one game when Henry was present but RvP took the PK .. And i heard he isn't too bad at that too .. And he needs any goal if he plans to become the top scorer ..
2. Gilberto: Cap. Cool .. Probably our 2nd choice PK taker ..
3. Dudu: I heard he's pretty good at penalties as well ..
4. Rosicky
5. Cesc
6. Adebayor
7. Toure
8. Gallas
9. Lehmann
10. Hleb .. :D

He missed against Man U and Bolton last season.

That was against Charlton. Henry got fouled so he didn't take the kick, and Gilberto had gone off injured.
