Premier League's Worst Penalty Takers by solodree(m): 12:21am On Jan 18, 2013 |
10. Steven Gerrard A poor penalty taker by Premier League standards. Penalties Taken: 21 Penalties Scored: 15 Pen Success Rate: 71.4 per cent 9. Robin van Persie It may seem odd to see the Dutchman in 'worst' list but however lethal he is from open play, he still misses from the spot. Penalties Taken: 14 Penalties Scored: 10 Pen Success Rate: 71.4 per cent 8. Michael Owen Stoke City striker Owen scores almost three out of four times from the spot. Penalties Taken: 20 Penalties Scored: 14 Pen Success Rate: 70 per cent 7. Wayne Rooney The Manchester United hotshot's latest miss, against West Ham in the FA Cup replay at Old Trafford last night, isn't the first... Penalties Taken: 21 Penalties Score: 14 Pen Success Rate: 66.7 per cent 6. Jonathan Walters Stoke City's Jonathan Walters hasn't taken many penalties but the stats don't lie...His miss against Chelsea capped off a great day for the defender who also scored two own goals during the match. Penalties: Taken 9 Penalties Scored: 6 Pen Success Rate: 66.7 per cent 5. Ashley Young He may win plenty of penalties for Manchester United but he doesn't convert them all. Penalties Taken: 8 Penalties Scored: 5 Pen Success Rate: 62.5 per cent 4. Kevin Phillips Journeyman striker Phillips, currently plying his trade at Blackpool, has scored 271 career goals in 620 appearances yet he is still fourth on the all-time worst list. Penalties Taken: 18 Penalties Scored: 11 Pen Success Rate: 61.1 per cent 3. Steed Malbranque The former Fulham and Sunderland midfielder now plays in his native France for Lyons. During his time in England he proved to be quite profligate from 12 yards. Penalties Taken: 10 Penalties Scored: 6 Pen Success Rate: 60.0 per cent 2. Jermain Defoe Spurs striker Defoe is similarly skittish when faced with a keeper standing still. He does pretty well from open play though. Penalties Taken: 14 Penalties Scored: 8 Pen Success Rate: 57.1 per cent 1. Juan Pablo Angel The Colombian is the last player to have scored more than 20 goals in a season for Aston Villa, but his predatory instincts did not translate to the white circle. He managed to score only half the time, even missing two penalties in the same match – against Fulham in 2005. Penalties Taken: 10 Penalties Scored: 5 Pen Success Rate: 50.0 per cent http://telegraph.feedsportal.com/c/32726/f/568360/s/27a04cc3/l/0L0Stelegraph0O0Csport0Cfootball0Cpicturegalleries0C980A86590CPremier0ELeagues0Eworst0Epenalty0Etakers0Bhtml/story01.htm |
