He missed one against Huddersfield in his first season with us. It was a bad penalty and a bizarre situation as well because we didn't have a specified penalty taker then. Milner was usually taking them but when he wasn't playing you never knew who was going to take it. So, Firmino was first one we tried, he missed, then Salah missed so we switched back to Firmino, he missed again, then Mane missed the next one. If they scored, maybe salah would not be taking them today.
But after that miss he scored all of them and now has 16 scored out of 17 attempts - which is a great result. I disliked his style at the beginning as well but he's worked on his penalties a lot and he really takes them confidently now.
Ah man, you certainly helped trigger a memory but yes, Milner was actually our designated penalty taker for a while (he was pretty okay too actually, no nonsense) but I know he still takes it if Salah isn't on the pitch. It's actually pretty amazing to look back and see how Salah became our guy for penalties but wow, 16 out of 17 is as good as it gets for anyone!
Huddersfield narrowly missed relegation too, for another throwback. Not nearly as dramatic as Derby, but it's crazy just how easy it can be to slip down the waves once you relegate from Premiership money.
