It was time to move on from Eddie and this guy was available.
Hardly a bad move and PSG dominated with him.
I think he is part of a solid spine.
If he had the same team in front of him as Ederson did, he wouldn’t be seen as a problem.
Ederson is to blame, he’s the fucker in the net. He need his hand holding with how to save a penalty now?
anyway, a real shame that Ederson regressed his way to three golden gloves in a row, a treble and 4 premier league titles in a row.
Guess Xabi is just good at putting the cones out.
Not at his best with the crosses and I wish he’d just clear the fucker instead of punching out but most of Fulham finishes wrrr unstoppable
Yes mate, our defending was shocking tonight for them goals but Donna couldnt have done much about most of emBy him they were but as Pep alluded to, we don’t close the edge of the box down quickly enough.
I remember Hart repeatedly fucking up in the CL. Parrying crosses into the on-brushing strikers. There was Madrid too where we threw the game away in the dying minutes.Literally none of that is remotely true.
I’m not overly bothered about his supposed glaring weakness. I’ve watched him for a decade and he’s always been the same at crosses.I tell you what, as this is clearly going nowhere, we’ll see exactly how good a coach he is if the 6’6 giant world class goalkeeper we have can catch a cross by the end of the season or if no one’s bothered to address the glaring weakness in his game.
Just play Trafford, he is not Ederson, but much better than Donnarumma on the ball.
Exactly.He’s not the one getting skinned by wingers. He’s not the one being brushed off the ball or giving the ball away through sloppiness
I don’t have a problem with his performance.
What I have a problem with is our wet team who get overrun by Fulham. I’m not having that we were under pressure for 30 odd minutes non stop because of Donnarumma’s kicking
You just let in four goals, keep quite, Don.James, just ask them for a transfer.
Absolutely baffling how so many big fuckers are back and the only one who deals with headers is the striker. Even more baffling how Erling is mint in the air defending but a bit shit on the other end!A keeper dealing with a cross in a packed penalty box should be a last resort, and firstly we should be better setup to deal with the cross with the 10 other lads that are in the box with him
We just simply don't attack the ball physically enough, you can see that with the way that Dias and Gvardiol are often dominated by any striker that wants to give them a physical battle, and if they aren't up to it physically, then what chance have the rest of the team got
There's only Haaland that defends the box from corners, its very rare that you see any of Dias, Gvardiol, Nico, Reijnders etc winning those headers, who are all comfortably ~6"2
zonal marking doesnt help their moving ours jumping from stand startA keeper dealing with a cross in a packed penalty box should be a last resort, and firstly we should be better setup to deal with the cross with the 10 other lads that are in the box with him

Bullshit of the highest order...His shite kicking is impacting us more than his shot stopping. It’s a massive contributor as to why we lose control of games and can’t regain it.
Clown^And for a guy of his size/weight his goalkicking ability is poor. No point in playing Erl way into the opposition half as his kicks struggle to reach the half-way line
