With Declan Rice having missed two out of his three penalties for West Ham, he really should be relieved of the job. Declan is a great player but not a great striker of the ball — a lot of his shots go over the bar as we saw with the chance he missed against Man City. Being captain does not mean you have to take responsibility for penalties.
If Manuel Lanzini is playing then he has a decent record from the spot, though he wasn't on the pitch when the penalty was awarded at Forest. Antonio is probably better at instinctive finishes and missed a penalty last season. A technical player like Benrahma should be able to stroke home a penalty while Soucek might also be good for the job. And if Scamacca is in the side then he is a natural goalscorer who should enjoy adding to his tally. Cresswell might be another option as he can take a decent free kick. What the side does need is some certainty and Moyes should decide who the official penalty taker is quickly.

The squad is improving, we should get Nobes back to be around the trading ground and meet the new players
Training ground that is..
And tell them how to take penalties! Yes, we should use his experience.
