    who should be the main Free Kick and Penalty Taker and should we stick with them no matter what? I myself believe that McGeady should Take them from now on as he is probably the best dead ball kicker we have. What do you think?

    Mcgeady's shooting is dreadful. Ki on free kicks and Rasmussen on penalties, saw him on youtube scoring penalties.

    The new bhoy Ki is a deadball expert apparently so he should get a shot at it when fit as for Aiden a think he's woeful at set peices also Crosas could maybe take pens as he has a good range of passing and doesn't seem to ge nervous .

    Ki on everything, his corners in his debut were probably the best ive ever seen by anybody ever and his freekick from over 30 yards was excellent.

    Ki on free kicks and corners from both sides, until we get a left-footed set piece expert.

    Yes to Ki on free kicks.
    No to McDonald on penalties. He does the same thing every time. He faces away from the goal until the ref blows his whistle, then turns, runs, and shoots to his right, the goalie's left. Every time.

    I'd say Sammy or Crosas for penalties. Maybe give Fortune a shout?

    Ki and Fox to take free-kicks, NOT Naylor. And corners too, Fox seems to be excellent at them and I guess Ki can take some good crosses too. Penalties... Tough one. Samaras, Hinkel and maybe Fortune as he would probably smash them hard and keeper wouldn't stand much chances.

    I agree..that freekick that Hooiveld hit from way out on youtube was ridiculous, Ki's freekicks were superb in his debut and Fortune and Morten could use the confidence boosters of getting a few goals from the spot.

    Ki on freekicks & corners.

    Rasmussen or Fortune for penalties.

    Never seen Ra Ra, but his record shows he knows where the goal is - worth a try.

    McGeady & Skippy should never be allowed to take another penalty ever again...ever!

    I'd let Hinkel hit the penalties, German efficiency. Very rare to see a German international footballer hit a bad penalty.

    Ki is supposed to be almost machine like with a dead ball but I'd rather witness that with my own eyes than rely on youtube or hearsay.

    anybody but McGeady

    he cant shoot and his efforts are powder puff as exemplified recently when clean through on goal and his poor penalty attempt earlier in the season

    how about Boruc for penalties and Paddy for free kicks?
