He is better with the ball at his feet than a lot of keepers, for sure. But what he does isn't really that complicated.

The atmosphere was very flat tonight, so we got the chance to to listen to the constant communication that goes on between him and the defenders. There is something interesting going on between him and Greer that I hadn't noticed before.
Added to that, he is so comfortable with the ball at his feet it's like having an extra outfield player.
So far from having "nothing to do...", I'd suggest that he's actually quite busy - just not in the orthodox way we have become accustomed to League One style of play.
He's been crucial to our success this season and is not a "6.5" player.

..which begs the question, if it's so easy why don't other teams in this league employ the goalkeeper to play like that ?
.. and why doesn't Poyet rotate the keepers ?
I tend to think of scoring in a completely different way, the manner in which many lecturers mark exams. You start off with a maximum score and remove them as mistakes are made.
Struggle to see why you would remove 3.5 marks from the goalkeeper tonight.
I think he must be the only 'keeper in the league that has more contact with the ball with his feet than he does with his hands
