Willy has to play in the Final

[Lancet Fluke]

Five goals conceded in our last two home games by Joe hasn't been great (although he had little protection versus Leicester). Joe has had a good season overall but he's also out of form too at the wrong time! The save Kasper made against Fernando Joe would never have made.

You're talking absolute shite about Joe IMO, he made more big saves in that match than schmeichel, at least three one on ones so who is to say he wouldn't have saved that? And can we not call him "Kasper" he's schmeichel and he's a ****.

Goalkeepers form is a very important thing to manage. After a game like Wily had against Chelsea, he needs to be taken out. Manuel needs to be consistent here. He took Joe out for way less a couple years ago. If you asked any of the players in the back 4 who'd they'd rather I'm sure you'd get a unanimous answer.

No room for sentiment here. Joe minding our goal, they way it should be.

The point is that anyone thinking thinking Joe's selection will guarantee the win wants to leave the drugs alone!

Out of form? Are you taking the piss.

Agree with the OP. It would make perfect sense to leave the best 'keeper in the country on the bench and play a keeper who at best, is shit. After all it's only a cup final.

At least it will probably be the last time we see him play for us. Roll on summer when Pellegrini and his sub standard cronies are gone.

Yes Joe is great with the one on ones but he's got to demand players on the posts for set pieces versus Leicester!

The manager insists we don't do it.

I remember the "Charmless Man" from Trafford being faced with a similar dilemma with Jim Leighton in 1990. Jim had followed him down from Aberdeen and was his first choice keeper. He had an absolute mare in the FA Cup Final against Crystal Palace and so the GPC dropped him for the Replay. He brought in, the then on loan, Les Sealey who played a blinder and the scum won the Cup. Nasty? Yes. The right decision? Yes. Sealey gave Leighton his medal after the match (subs didn't get one in those days) but was subsequently given a duplicate by the FA.

Joes's been great at his basic keeping duties but Pep will want to ensure Joe improves at marshalling the defence.
Two goals conceded from set pieces at the near post vs Leicester says a lot.

IMHO this compares with the shambolic wall that Willy "set up" versus Chelski where the chavs signalled where they were going to hit the ball.

Both keepers made mistakes in these games Sunday league sides would be embarrassed about!

I would expect a guy whose captained England to insist on the right tactics. If Pellers is insisting on shit tactics like this then he needs to sort himself out quickly!
