Who should take the Pompey penalties?
Which way will you vote in the latest Vital Pompey poll, suggested by myself, as to who YOU would like to see take our penalties following failed efforts from Kevin-Prince Boateng and Aruna Dindane already this season, which have only been added to a string of penalties misses over the past few years from various players?
Who would YOU want to see taking our penalties?
Boateng might have already missed against Stoke but he made up for this against Manyoo, so perhaps he should carry on with this duty?
A hat-trick was completed against Wigan by Dindane back along, but after fighting with Boateng - who, despite his quality seems a 'selfish' player - missed against Burnley in our last game. Luckily for HIM it did not cost US, but should he have another go?
On-loan Jamie O'Hara strikes a good ball, so why would he not be able to strike a good penalty?
The Herminator is a no nonsense player, and he can hit a shot with power and accuracy - as he showed against Burnley with a 'strikers' finish. He is known to hit a free kick, and I 'think' he has taken penalties in the past so why not let the iceman show how cool he can be under pressure?
Head down and power it! That seems to be Younes Kaboul's way with his efforts, especially from free-kicks - that is not exactly a bad way to take a penalty is it, so why not Younes?
Maybe you think that someone else altogether would be the better option?
Make sure you vote on this latest poll to your right, but share your views on this issue below too...

based on this season, and this season alone i reckon that the herminator has the balls to step up and be the man but i think baoteng will want them - and i am not confident in him taking them as he does not always strike the ball clean enough for me, so i would leave it to kaboul, power the ball into the roof of the net or straight down the middle, no messing - give the ball to younes!
