hes scored some massive penaltys in massive games, the ones he missed were when he was younger and a bit more inexperienced i cant remember the last time gerrard missed a pen but he scored all the big ones in the pressure games.
molby missed one penalty scored in all the big games not only watford , but auxerre at anfield , and the cup run of 1992 molby all day .

I think it has a massive bearing on what a penalty means in the long run, you look at Mark Robbins goal for United against Forest in the F.A.Cup all those years ago, he is probably credited with scoring United's greatest goal ever because, it saved Fergie from the sack, helped United win the Cup that year and therefore provided the platform to become the british games greatest ever Club, thats why pressure penalties, goals and what they mean overall all play a part when judging these things.

ok maybe you still dont get it EVERTON WOULD HAVE WON THE DOUBLE , the club seriously might have sacked or moved dalglish as aside thinking it never worked out thats how big that penalty was , i dont think gerrard has took a bigger peno than that .

steven gerrard is a big game player wether its penaltys free kicks or just screamers from outside the box hes saved us more times than i can remember when we were undr unbelievable pressure, so for me hes a pressure player who always comes up with the goods under pressure more so than molby without doubt. thats not taking away from molby who was also exelent, thats why id always pick gerrard

gerrard has done what you say but taking penalties sorry molby is ahead of him so is phil neal maybe even john aldridge and fowler , personally i think kuyt if he is in the team should take the peno's talk about pressure his two at goodison and his peno against chelsea in the 2007 shootout .

Faz I think he understands the importance of the penalty by Molby and we all do but his opinion is Gerrard. It's based on opinions so it's no point trying to change his mind because he has his thoughts and you have yours.

In current times I would go with Dirk Kuyt...he seems so cool and calm under pressure and I don't remember him missing one for LFC. I think any penalty we get and Dirk is playing then he should step up and take it!

But that's just my opinion :-)

Yep Kuyt'll be the one to save my life.
I think modern players have it alot more difficult to score a penalty with all the research and training done by keepers nowadays. Gone are the days where a pen is a foregone conclusion.
But that's not to say the keepers of yester years were not good.
