Steven Gerrard claims he is now so confident taking penalties
that the implications of missing never occur to him.
The Liverpool captain has a 100 per cent success rate from
12-yards so far this season, netting seven times, including two as
part of his hat-trick in the Reds' 5-0 thumping of Aston Villa on
Sunday.
"I've got more confident the more penalties I've taken," Gerrard
told LFC Magazine. "Missing doesn't ever enter my thoughts
now.
"I used to miss the odd pen here and there because I was
frightened. I'd beat myself up before I'd hit it.
"I've grown into taking pens and I always feel as if I'm going to
score. I wouldn't be hitting them otherwise."
