Third from bottom Fulham have missed their last three spot-kicks and boss Scott Parker admits scoring from 12 yards has become an issue at the club.

"We've missed our last three, culminating in points being dropped. When you look at it there's no denying there's been a bit of an issue here.

"If those penalties had gone in they'd have maybe contributed five points. So certainly there is something here we need to look at and it's something we are doing.

"We are trying to work out what the best processes are, the best penalty takers. It's the same as it would be if you concede a lot from set-plays, or were conceding goals due to a deficiency and working out the best solutions. This is no different.

"Of course there is a psychology behind it, in terms of who feels they are best equipped to take a penalty. And then we work backwards from there."
