SHOULD the game to go PK’s…. who are your 5

Posted by yamsmos on November 4, 2009 · Filed Under News 

not trying to get ahead of myself here. there is a lot of football to be played before PK’s even come up. but let’s not kid ourselves… PK’s are a very real possibility this coming sunday.

if my memory serves me correct, and i know you lot will correct me if i am wrong, we have only had two pk opportunities this year, and both of them were missed by the 2 freds.

while i quite sure they are still in sigi’s top 5, will montero still be on the pitch to take one of them. he has been subbed frequently in the 70th minute of late, so the question is, will sigi keep him in the match just for pk’s, should it come to that? who else should take one? who do you think has the nerves… this is much more about mental than foot skill and we don’t have a lot of pk history to draw from. often, there are surprise inclusions of defenders who aren’t natural goal scorers, but have the state of mind for the occasion. so who will it be?

i think the 5 will be

freddie – no brainer

vagenas- yeah, i know he isn’t the most popular sounder… but his experience and the fact that i think he would be on the pitch in the AET makes him in this list for me.

alonso – doesn’t seem to get rattled

evans- experience and good touch

le toux – history as a penalty taker

i am sure i will get some arguments on vegenas, but i am picking more from who i think sigi will pick more than anything… and i am assuming fredy isn’t still on the pitch.

… but what do you guys think?
