United's penalty-takers

032Devil · 12th May 2007, 19:28

Although I believe that we will win against the Chelsea in 90 minutes in next week's FA Cup Final, penalties might be the out come since games between United and Chelsea have never been high scoring occasions since Maureeniho been with them.

Who are good, reliable penalty takers at both United and Chelsea and how well do you think we'll do?

ciderman9000000 · 12th May 2007, 19:30

Ronaldo
Rooney
Vidic
Scholes
Carrick

Desert Eagle · 12th May 2007, 19:31

I think our five will be Ronaldo, Rooney, Scholes, Giigs and Rio

Chelsea should be Lampard, Drogba, Robben, Joe cole and essien

Desert Eagle · 12th May 2007, 19:32

I think a penalty shootout would be 50-50. I don't really think either of the two goalies are pk specialists

charlenefan · 12th May 2007, 19:32

How many scored for them against Liverscum?

I dont think they have any reliable penalty takers

For us....

Rooney
Ronaldo
Scholes - to erase the memories of 2 years ago

erm..... Rio? I remember he tucked one away very nicely against Arsenal in the Charity Shield 3 years ago

ok im out now

032Devil · 12th May 2007, 19:33

I'd add:

Giggs
Heinze
Smith

Why Vidic?

narnar · 12th May 2007, 19:34

Carrick ahead of Rio I sasy, Evra I think would be in with a shout, definitely Ole if he is playing, which he usually does late in the game.

MarliMan · 12th May 2007, 19:34

if it came to pens my teams always lose, england in 96, 98, 04, 06 united v the arse and pool always seem to win them
so if it goes to pens were fucked

charlenefan · 12th May 2007, 19:35

Ok why are any of you picking Giggs? To my knowledge he's never once taken a pen and if I'm being honest id be inclined to think he'd miss rather than score

I wouldn't be confident with Ryan taking a pen what so ever

notoriousRed · 12th May 2007, 19:41

Rooney
Giggs
Carrick
Scholes
Ronaldo

Man-United · 12th May 2007, 19:41

Ronaldo
Rooney
Rio
Scholes
Giggs/Smith

Magnus · 12th May 2007, 19:47

Ronaldo
Carrick
Solskjaer
Rio
Sheasy

032Devil · 12th May 2007, 19:52

Which players could take the crucial penalties? Like the first and last of the five?

Eto'odinho · 12th May 2007, 19:57

I wouldnt trust Smith from the spot. I reckon Richardson is a pretty good penalty taker

vanthaman · 12th May 2007, 19:58

id have Ronaldo go first

maybe we could have saha on bench and bring him on in extra time injury time,

surely he would be able to take one, or will he injure himself in the run up?

Yea so do I, he's useful at free kicks and long shots so why not?

GE · 12th May 2007, 20:01

In order...

1) Ronaldo
2) Carrick
3) Rooney
4) Giggs
5) Solskjaer/Scholes

Richardson/Smithy/Rio are other choices.

I know they say let you're best Penalty taker go last, i reckon they should go first to get off to a good start.

He'd try and chip it ala Henry/Dicanio.... only he'd put it over the crossbar

Probably injure himself celebrating after scoring

Eto'odinho · 12th May 2007, 20:05

I reckon Patrick Evra is also a good shout for a penalty taker

Talking about outsiders for penalty-takers, Fletcher is good at free-kicks and corners too. Although he never gets the chance to take those at United he does those very well for Scotland.

Aye, he used to be the MAN for the Scots.I hope Fletch can build on this season's impressive display.He always seems like a nice happy chap.

DanNistelrooy · 12th May 2007, 20:26

Ronaldo
Rooney
Scholes
Carrick
Giggs

Rio could aswell i suppose

Rahul · 12th May 2007, 20:33

pete_8 · 12th May 2007, 20:37

rooney
ronaldo
scholes
smith
giggs

FlawlessThaw · 12th May 2007, 20:50

I am suprised at people assuming Giggs is a good penalty taker. He isnt, he has taken a penalty for us. It was in the charity shield against Arsenal in 93 i think, Giggs missed and hasnt taken one for us again. It was a bad miss i think

Smith took a horrible penalty for us last year in a pre-season friendly,

The five I would want to take for us would be: Ronaldo, Rooney, Carrick, Scholes, Rio.

Also apart from the charity shield every team i supports loses on penalties.

You don't trust Smith with anything. So don't even bother bringing him up...

It's all down to the penalty takers. If they do their job well the keeper hasn't got a prayer. Even if he is a so called "penalty saving expert"
