With the imminent arrival of Robertson it is likely he'll be our first choice LB pushing Milner to the bench.
Now am left wondering who'll be taking our penalties. Albeit that I've never seen anyone else take a spot kick for us in a league match. But here is my pecking order with taking pens if Milner is not in the playing 11:-
1. Firmino
2. Henderson
3. Coutinho
4. Lallana
5. Sturridge.


1.) 19 Jul 2017

Hendo will take pens.

wouldn't be surprised seeing Milner at RB with competition from TAA, although if he isn't starting would like Hendo to take them on.

Coutinho could take it as well Mane!

Mane not a pen taker.


5.) 19 Jul 2017

Mane has scored a few pens against us.

Mane used to take pens for Southampton as well remember.


7.) 19 Jul 2017

But he's not a pen taker. I'd score a few past our gks and I'm 92.

I don't think any payer will be an automatic first choice.

Thats the point of strengthening the squad, so that every day in training competition is fiercer in the fight for a first team place.

A new challenge to overcome in training for an existing player can be as beneficial as the new signing.
Migs is an example if this.

The managers consider the above along with the players suitability depending on the opposition.

Thats why the managers get the big bucks cos they call the shots.

Henderson or Emre Can are our best.

Stick with Henderson. Coutinho and Can, if he's not on the field.
