Course he can. He's a goalkeeper playing for a top half premier league club and in the Europa League. If you can't save these kinds of shots you shouldn't be there.
So if we put Mitoma on the bench for half a season and he gets annoyed he should be shown the door? Or Pedro? Or Dunk? Wouldn't have much of a team left.
Does it matter? RDZ wasn't playing him if he was nice or if he was moody. The kid was ostracised before his strop and it was a big mistake in my opinion.
Stick Salah on the bench for 12 games and see what he does. Or any player who has played every single game for a couple of years and doesn't...
He was benched for 8 games, got his place back when Steele was injured, played well for 2 games and dropped again. On bench for 4 games, 4th of which we lost 5-1, and RDZ didn't give him a second glance. Come on, it was really clear that RDZ didn't want him regardless.
Let's at least get the...
Dreadful with his feet for weeks though. Barely attempting a short pass and lots of long hopeful and ultimately fruitless clearances. Sanchez could have done that. Sanchez wasnt even bad with his feet!
You don't think RDZ decided he didn't want him? He should never have found himself on the bench for that long. Any top quality player would get pissed off in that scenario
No, he sat on the bench, then was recalled for Chelsea away and the cup semi, played really well, and was dropped again as soon as Steele was fit.
De Zerbi refused to play him. Don't shift the blame to Sanchez.
Proper goalkeeping talent, best young keeper I've ever seen at Brighton, could pull off blinding saves, pluck the ball out of the air, then had a little wobble and was suddenly ostracised.
Apparently not good enough with his feet. Really? I'm watching Steele mess up pass after pass, clearance...
Probably the 91 playoff final should be in there, that was to get into the premier league. Took us another 26 years to achieve that.
Certainly one of the most glamorous games in our history tonight.
No, not really, just sitting here late at night marvelling that we're about to play Roma in Rome in the latter stages of what is basically the UEFA Cup and smiling at the ridiculousness of it all.
The shitting myself will come when they start bearing down on Steele in goal :lolol:
