Craig Shakespeare has no doubts Jamie Vardy will pick up the ball if City are rewarded a penalty again at Bournemouth tomorrow.

Vardy’s saved spot kick proved crucial last week as City succumbed to a fourth defeat of the season, going down 3-2 against Liverpool, but it was only the second penalty Vardy has failed to convert for City.

His penalty taking technique was highlighted on Match of the Day and pundits have said he is too predictable where he places is penalties, but Shakespeare said he didn’t believe that would affect Vardy’s belief when he takes his next spot kick.

Vardy scored a penalty at the Vitality Stadium two years ago when City claimed a late point at the start of their Premier League title winning season.

“I think the obvious thing is we want everyone to score, so as long as it goes in,” Shakespeare said of the criticism.

“It is a cat and mouse. I have heard lots of experts talk about this was the time to change it, but ultimately as a penalty taker you decide where to put it and very often people tell you not to change your mind.

“We will speak privately and those conversations will take place but what I do like about people who are prepared to take penalties because I have had it before where people say they will take them and when it comes to the game they haven’t.

“Jamie does have that belief and confidence, and inner resilience to put his hands up and take it.”
