While this can be frustrating, I don’t blame the player for this as this is clearly an instruction. I’d like FH to change this and tell the keeper that while this is the standing rule, to use his judgement if and when a break is clearly on
I thought he could've done better for the goal, watching it live and directly behind the Arse player's shot. But I'll reserve judgement and wait until the replay. I also think he's made more mistakes playing out from the back than Steele ever did, but he's young and learning, so I forgive him a lot.
In an ideal world, you want Bart the keeper and Steele the player, combined as one.
I don't think he's shit. But he's not (yet) a top level keeper & there's plenty about that can do as good a job.
The lack of urgency (& pace of passing) starts there & spreads through the team
Control of the play is the manager's priority
Yep. You have to criticise pervis, igor, jpvh & ayari / baleba 1st for allowing the play & shot to come in. It was a tight angle & straight through him unfortunately
He was out of position but wasn't alone. Igor was covering for pervis who wasn't at left back doing his defensive job. Jpvh should have gone across earlier to stop the shot (which of course would mean the player has to pass to the striker jpvh has had to leave) & ayari (& baleba) let the runner go through midfield without following him - so a few at fault there & not solely igor
I too am looking at the defenders there rather than the goalie. For Bart, it's the space under his body he can't get an arm or leg to.
No, it's absolutely Igor. He was in an attacking midfielders position making an attacking midfielders challenge. Went totally awol. He was miles from our defensive line with half the team between him and them . Absolutely criminal.
Understatement on the goal. No way should the ball be squirming under his body.
