Rickie Lambert-The Best Penalty-taker in the World(?)

With 34/34 from the penalty spot and 100% accuracy Rickie Lambert is regarded one of the best-if not the best-penalty-taker in the professional football.

[@janovesakkestad7097]

Le Tissier 46 of 47. I rest my case.

[@SuperBillKent]

It's the power and the accuracy that makes Lambert so deadly. The keepers actually mostly go the right way and even get a hand on a few of them but they are smashed so hard the power of the ball just takes it in

[@tomstephens1177]

What a record!! Those were some great pens!!

[@imdarkorbitcrazylol]

I'm a saints fan and thanks ricky what you did at Southampton, wouldn't be where we a re without you today :D good luck at Liverpool bud hope you get your playtime and as they say YNWA aha :)

[@ben___l6016]

this guy was a legend

[@MatthewJBD]

Is*

[@chanwoopark6346]

Matthew JBD was lol

[@sthill1993]

Gerrard? Balotelli? Pirlo? None of that shit, THIS is the real deal.

[@patrickferris9601]

I like how Hazard takes his penalties, makes it almost impossible for the keeper. But you can't argue with a 100% record.

[@thelightbearer349]

oh ya? well say bye bye to Southampton, he's ours now.

[@_XPERIA_]

Zefa don't be a prick, I feel for Southampton fans having to sit by and watch their team being ripped apart by a clueless owner (coming from a fellow Liverpool fan)

[@sthill1993]

He's a scouser and a boyhood Liverpool fan. But he had great times with us, some great memories personally, and I wish him all the best.

[@richmac93]

Martin St. Hill Well said :)

[@fibromanmusc4369]

I remember Sir Alex Ferguson praised Lambert for his 100% record. When Rooney missed 2 or three consecutive penalty at that time, Sir Alex pointed it out that penalty should be converted like Lambert did

[@paultokjian7915]

England now I feel have the best chance ever to break their penalty hoodoo. Gerrard, Lampard, Rooney, Baines and Lambert are all great penalty takers. Thats a 5/5 if only they take them without fear.

[@paultokjian7915]

No need for name calling pal. You create your own "luck", there is no such thing as luck. Its all about Technique and Mentality, thats what penalties are. England players were always plagued with fear, have zero confidence and are not expert penalty takers, thats why they lose. They dont know how to outsmart the goalkeeper ( in the case of Portugal in 2004 and 2006 the goalkeeper Ricardo) and they crumble under pressure. These are the times England have lost to penalties: 1990, 96, 98, 2004, 2006 and 2012. These were the pen takers who missed: Pierce, Waddle, Southgate, Ince,Batty, Beckham, Vassel, Lampard,Gerrard, Carragher, Ash Young and Ash Cole. Review their misses again, it has nothing to with luck. They were all nervous, anxious and terrified of missing, thats why they missed. Owen Hargreaves scored two penalties against Portugal bec he was confident, the rest werent. Of course anything can happen just like you said but taking responsability without fear is more then enough when you have expert penalty takers.

[@LJV3NOM]

***** He is saying that there is a good chance they wont miss or get saved as they're good penalty takers, obviously. You need 5 pens to win the shootout and if they're good, then we will only need to rely on joe hart to save them. So shutup, you "mong"?

[@paultokjian7915]

No i didnt say it was guarenteed. I said we have a great chance to score all 5, it does not mean i believe they cant miss. I also said If..if they take them without fear, its conditional.

[@bennicoletti5293]

You don't have to worry about Penalty shoot outs because England won't be making it out of the group stage anyway :)

[@elimun10]

Danyal Shakur Actually some goalkeepers can. And to be fair, alot of goalkeepers launch themselves at just the right time, and if they guess the side, many players don't get a chance to change the course of the ball so they end up missing. That's why alot of penalty takers kind of "fake" the shot before actually shooting. To get the goal keeper to launch

[@nathanhowe2860]

I’ve watched this so many times I first watch it in the first month of it being uploaded

[@nadimal-naser343]

He is literally arrest penalty taker. Good job and nice video

[@irnickkkknowles]

Best player I've seen at Bristol Rovers and I'm old...

[@weirdo4653]

the best penalty taker of all time

[@michaelchapman4269]

Great player, great that he didn’t celebrate against Bristol Rovers. Top man. UTG

[@ronnetperumal7370]

Well made video brush, happy that he has made his way to #LFC the club he has always dreamt to play for #Winning

[@lex9904]

Edwin van der Sar has also never missed a penalty for his club

[@The6385]

We have a penalty taker here in Sweden (Marcus Jonsson) who hasnt missed a single penaltry.

[@janovesakkestad7097]

Le Tissierr 48/49

[@BanMedo]

12th was awesome :)

[@liamhigginson4472]

rickie lambert - southampton legend

[@marinladan1232]

Well, even the 'best' misses. To be exact he has missed 4 penalties in his senior career. Lambert never took a penalty in normal play for his first two clubs, Blackpool and Macclesfield Town. However, on 28 November 2001, he missed in a penalty shootout for Macclesfield in an FA Cup first round replay away to Forest Green Rovers, but Macclesfield nonetheless won the shootout 11-10.[78][79] Lambert scored six from six attempts at Stockport County, and five from six attempts for Rochdale. The single miss for Rochdale was against his future club, Bristol Rovers in a 2-0 win on 29 April 2006. Lambert transferred to Rovers and continued to score well in penalties, achieving 13 goals from 14 attempts. His last miss to date occurred on 21 February 2009, against Leicester City in a 1-0 loss. At Southampton, he scored all 34 attempts.[80][81][82] His first penalty for Liverpool in a friendly game against AC Milan was saved by goalkeeper Christian Abbiati.[83] He scored Liverpool's first penalty in their Europa League round of 32 shootout against Beşiktaş, although they would go on to lose 5-4.

[@aussierules79]

I like Rickie Lambert, I like the Music , I like the video :)

[@footballfundamental2897]

Nonce

[@emmanuelenyinwa1443]

Impressive.

[@SuperBillKent]

Also he's either banging them high and hard or low and hard to give the keeper as little chance as possible. None of them are at mid height, which is a nice height for a goal keeper

quality uplifting tune

[@honlimerick5481]

Liverpool player now :-D

[@Fryhtaning]

For never having missed a peno, seems like the keepers guess right at least 2/3 of the time, and I've never seen so many that came an inch from being stopped. Really gets it in there in a hurry, though.

[@fandbzgt100]

Ortigoza, Balotelli and Lambert are the best penalty takers in the world.

[@nathanhowe2860]

100% true

[@jaspercasper9195]

I support the rovers and I love this

[@eAtte]

So different technique compared to Balotelli, who tries to watch what the keeper's doing and juking the keeper to go in the wrong direction. Lambert just relies on powerful and accurate shot.

[@bryanguerra855]

Check out Raul Jimenez. I dont think i have ever seen anyone as good as him in penalties. A goalkeeper has yet to save or pick the right side. Take a look at him.

[@4you430]

Bryan Guerra the player of club america ??

[@joanho4529]

Never saw Ibrahimovic failing a penalty.. Balotelli is real impressive too there are a lot of peple very good there isnt only 1.

[@sthill1993]

He missed one in Ligue 1 this season, but I think he has failed before that.

[@NostalgicMem0ries]

i heard that he missed once, that s why in fifa he has 95 not 99

[@imdarkorbitcrazylol]

Early in his career for Rochdale

[@SASMADBRUV7]

He has a bit of matt le tissier in him i think

[@joacimunicorn]

If Gerrard gets injured, he may get to take one at Liverpool lol

[@a4ad1]

So Lambert has never ever missed a penalty? Liverpool fan here

[@sthill1993]

You jinxed it. Oh well. 34/34 for us!

[@jb894]

Even better at pens than le tiss

[@DogWuffy]

Had he had stayed, would he have beaten Le Gods 48 in 49?

[@liamhigginson4472]

defo

[@bookmarkmybrain6799]

Even as someone who considers Messi the GOAT, I am inclined to go with Ronaldo (or Ronaldinho).

[@seetow01]

alan shearer

[@jeffersonmatos3925]

Alan Shearer is the best for me

[@garsm2290]

He missed a penalty for Stockport ...

[@rytekkerz-_-fifayounas4391]

He is the best penalty taker!

[@rcordoba_]

Check out Raul Jimenez

Hope he takes them in Brazil and not Rooney.

[@argumentcreator.4278]

He's missed one in his career.

[@vagabond789]

HARRY KANE 2 actually

[@argumentcreator.4278]

SWIRLY4LIFE ok my mistake

[@AdrieAgent]

He recently missed again for Nice, so that's a total of 3. Still one of the best tho

[@abuaduriyami]

Now it's 4 misses

[@aureliensladen5727]

Yet manages to miss his first penalty for liverpool in a pre season friendly

[@awesome1ru]

[@vagabond789]

[@veloro7]

I thought Balotelli was the best.

[@NostalgicMem0ries]

search matthew le tissier, best pk taker ever

[@tdyerwestfield]

Balotelli had a penalty saved by Pepe Reina against Napoli last season. It's in the intro to this video.
