    ..... do we have five penalty takers you would have confidence in?

    And who's the better shot stopper, Green or Al Habsi?

    Austin/Morrison/Barton/Doyle/Traore???

    It will be Carson in goal for them won't it? Not much to choose between him and Green imo.

    Barton, Morrison, Hoilett, Austin and it wouldn't surprise me if hill offered himself after the other bottled it.

    I think their keeper is better and they've had more practice at taking them as they dive so often!

    We should not let it get that far.

    Al Habsi is a more instinctive reflex-type keeper who can pull off spectacular shot-stopping, not as sound positionally. You'd think that would make him a better penalty stopper but it's all down to the players on the night. Definitely squeaky-bum time...

    Carson played the last game so surely he will play this one? Good job to as I think A AH is a better penalty stopper than both green and Carson.

    It wouldn't surprise me if they played Carson and subbed him for the shoot-out if it went that far...

    I was going to say the same...
    Can he be introduced after the final whistle in extra time or must it happen during playing time?

    I don't see it but its a tactic I wished the flyers used as one of the goalies is so bad at them.

    He has to be subbed during play.

    No, only the players that finished on the pitch can take part in the pens.

    Al Habsi is likely best if wildlife happen to make an appearance at Loftus Road.
