The penalty-takers conundrum
It has been a while since a designated penalty taker at Arsenal filled me with confidence, I have to admit.
Aubameyang is the best right now, but who do we have beyond him? Is Lacazette any good at penalties? Ozil certainly isn't.
What will happen if Auba leaves in the summer? I swear to God, I have half a mind David Luiz should take over the penalty duties.
We know he's good at free-kicks and lefties are harder for keepers to deal with. Luiz is also a confident bloke, something I can't say about Nicolas Pepe, for example.
But the situation's not really healthy in this department and hasn't been for a while. I fear we may not put together five decent takers if suddenly it goes to penalties in the cup or in Europe.
