At Benfica he was one of the best shotstoppers in the world, but it does seem to be sliding. I still don't think he's cost us goals - he's not made mistakes like De Gea's yesterday - he seems to be conceding 100% of those 50/50 goals where sometimes the keeper saves it, sometimes they don't but it's not really their fault.
It was noticeable how Pep angrily reacted to Xabi Mancisidor the GK coach on the bench after Palace's goal on Sunday.
Maybe it's coaching? Maybe it's just form? Hopefully it's not a case of just rarely getting tested so getting out of the habit.
I would imagine that getting the Brazil #1 shirt will be really high on his list of priorities, and if he wants to do that he's going to have to make some big showstopping saves, because that's what people notice.
