Gerrard should take the kicks - As captain i wish he would demand to take them. GH should grow the balls to give the job to somebody else. Is he worried Michael won't sign another contract if he can't take the penalities? I can't think of any other reason for persisting with MO for spot kicks.
Surely not Carragher for penalties? Seems a bit like asking David Batty to take one!

Those of you who suggest Hamann don't you remember the worthington cup final?
The fear on his face... the only red to miss.

Generally good free-kick takers make good penalty takers, depends whether you class Hamann as a decent free-kick taker
Shearer
Zidane
Beckham
Van Hooijdonk
Henry
etc

Murphy is the only natural penalty taker we have, although he's hardly John Aldridge.
Michael Owen has the temperment for penalties but he doesn't strike a ball that cleanly.
Kewell has the arrogance and strikes a ball sweatly, but he could put a few in the stand as well.
Gerrard would just blast them as hard as he can. If you blast it and keep it low and on target, its very difficult for a keeper to save unless he gets it in the middrift, chest or thighs.
Hamman would also blast it, as would Riise, although Riise is no longer a first teamer and I could see him fluffing a few.
Cheyrou strikes the ball very well, but I could see him curling up and dying if he missed!
As for Carragher....Gareth Southgate anybody? Carragher is not a penalty taker. He would be a real "hit it straight down the middle and hope the keeper dives the wrong way kind of guy".
I don't think we currently have the luxury of great penalty takers.
