Why? What are the games where his missed penalties have cost us?Tav should never take another penalty for the club again.

Jesus. There is some absolutely shocking penalty records in that list. Get Jack on them if he’s confident enough to take one.It's become an issue now after Morelos miss.
Some statistical perspective:
Tav has missed 6 out of 26 penalties.
Defoe has missed 9 out of 29.
Arfield has missed 2 out of 8.
Barisic has missed 2 out of 6.
Davis has missed 2 out of 6.
Morelos has missed 2 out of 5 (after yesterday).
Jack, Kent, Kamara and Aribo have never taken a senior penalty.
The above seems to suggest Tav is our best option, despite recent misses, with Arfield and Defoe the best back-ups. Surprising that whilst I've seen Barisic touted a lot, and Ryan Jack, there have been no mentions of Arfield.
I think Morelos will get the next,hardly fair removing him after 1 miss?
I’m not saying he’d be my choice but I’d be very surprised if Gerrard takes him off them after 1 miss,he scored one earlier this season granted it was hardly a pressure kick.He gives no confidence at all that he’s any good at them
Agreed mate. Strange time to change it.Tav.
He is the penalty taker and has missed what....3 of 25?
What you don't do is change taker to someone who doesn't hit penalties on Cup Final day.
Morelos again.
If the ref/ linesman do their job right then it gets retaken .

So Tav should never take another penalty for the club ever again as per your original comment, because Morelos missed?A captain, rolls up his sleeves, takes a deep breath and buries an equalizing penalty in a cup final

I'd let the captain take it and that should be Jack.
Sub on DefoeJust say we get one against YB on thursday. Who will be the taker? Stick with Alfie? Give it back to Tav? Barisic? Jack?
It isn’t us to you or I to decide this, the players will and they will confirm that to the manager.
Didn’t realise pen stats were that bad in general!For some perspective, and a laugh to lighten the mood, a few others:
Messi has missed 26 out of 114.
Ronaldo has missed 22 out of 138.
Harry Kane has missed 7 out of 43.
Jamie Vardy has missed 3 out of 21.
Matt Le Tissier scored an incredible 27 out of 27.
Tav is our best and has missed 6 out of 24 with Defoe missing 9 out of 29.
In the EPL this season 6 out of 34 penalties taken have been missed/saved. With Man Utd (Rashford and Martial) managing to miss two in the same game, a 3-1 victory away to Norwich. I'd say if you were missing 1 in 5 you were doing reasonably well.
Good shout !Tavernier
Failing that, Ryan Jack. Just get foot through the ball
Didn’t realise pen stats were that bad in general!
You see his NI one?Davis if fit
Best striker of a dead ball at the club imo.Borna.
I saw him take one for Osijek at PSV and he used to take them regular for them.
Borna.

Shouldnt matter, every player in the team is a professional football player and should be scoring
So Tav should never take another penalty for the club ever again as per your original comment, because Morelos missed?
Gerrard said post match as well that it had been agreed in advance Morelos was on them.
Was it fk agreed in advance. Obviously he's going to say that. He shat it.
Unlike the precision of Taverniers right foot that has scored 95% of the penalties taken?Barisic is our only player IMO who has precision with that left foot and hes shown from free kickshia accuracy

So Kent then? Some set on him for a young man and you'd imagine that with his technique and self confidence would be a natural?Penalties are best with players who have complete belief and lots of bottle.
Do you think it’s beyond the realms of possibility it could be different people?Barisic maybe? So many posters are rewriting history regarding Tav, there was a massive clamour on here for him to give up penalties after the Motherwell miss.
