Have never rated him as a goalkeeper, his strengths are with the ball at his feet and in that regard he is one of the very best. But as a goalkeeper he’s like a hologram half the time. He's rash and often miss times and misjudges. That said, like the rest of them he gets my support when he’s on the pitch.

What on earth was he doing for their second goal today?

Well, he’s not a bad keeper though his statistics have been enhanced by the team that until lately has been playing in front of him. His distribution skill are, or could be an asset, but how often this season have benefitted from a fifty yard precise pass. The way we play sees him routinely using 10-20 yard passes that most keepers are capable of. If we want to make the most of his distribution skills we need fast direct attackers who can outpace defenders from the halfway line.

I just don’t rate him as a keeper. He's a liability when we’re on the back foot at times.

Totally agree with the rest though, mate. My frustration is that we have a player, and potentially some of those players that would benefit from a 50/60 yard pass but the system were utilising just won’t allow it. Haaland should be screaming at him to drop the ball in the opposition’s half occasionally.

The goalkeeper position just shows how muddled Pep’s thinking is at the moment.

 

[argyle]

We had a composed keeper building confidence, and Pep subs him out for a keeper that was absolute shit in Europe and who might be gone to Saudi by years end

Pep masterclass.

Amazed by the amount of snide posts aimed at Pep in the last few weeks.

How quickly people turn...

 

[TFC]

His head not in it at all this season. Him and about 8 others.

There’s no manager in world football I’d rather have, especially right now.

But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t call a spade a spade. Pep benched a keeper who was steadying the ship for one who just came off a very poor performance, and likely unsettled both.

He gets things wrong. We should call them out.

 

[Roachy]

Think he needs dropping and staying dropped.

Think he needs dropping and staying dropped.

His attitude of dint give a fuck which many lauded as one of his big qualities is coming to the fore now but in the wrong way, I think he wanted away in sumner but we wouldn’t accept a low fee, he looks to me not to give a shit, his passing is nowhere near his levels of years gone by. The way we play at the moment Ortega is a better option because we don’t need defence splitting passes we need a good shot stopper who doesn’t get caught in no man’s land.
