Pay more attention, id start him over Adringra every time but Minteh should have been on at H/T

Adingra didn't play RIGHT WING. He played wing back - where you really need a right footed player.
Had we played a back four and needed to select a RIGHT WINGER then I daresay Minteh, Gruda, or most probably Rutter would have been picked ahead of him.
He got his body behind it, because it was the one place he was standing. It was a terrible finish

Not what I saw on tv. It was a one handed save with his elbow bent.
He may have looked like a right winger though, because his positional discipline was so poor and he rarely tracked anyone.
Definitely supposed to be a RWB though, so agree

Not really. Or he'd have done some actual defending.

It wasn't a terrible finish.
It was a great (lucky) save.
Adingra hit it well, back in the direction where it had come from, the ball hit the keeper's hand away from his body.
If he'd scuffed it towards the far corner he probably would have scored.
It was obvious to anyone that watched us play Saints that Rutter and Ayari would get a rest. They ran themselves into the floor.
Gameplan nearly worked. If we'd taken our chances at key moments it could have been different. As it was, Fulham subs changed the game, and having to take JPVH off due to the booking was sensible but didn't pay off.
Fulham are really good. Tough result, but onwards and upwards.

Fulham are really good, they’ve assembled a decent team and have a wily manager overseeing them, there is no shame in losing to them…..but I do feel we shot ourselves in the foot to a certain extent.
Still, never mind, on we go.
Most of the goal to aim at, he goes centre.
That is poor - the goalie was naturally central, staggered anyone thinks otherwise

Just watched it, the shot is literally next to Leno, he didn’t have to do a lot.
His arm certainly wasn’t outstretched (so agree re elbow bent), not difficult though

He definitely didn't have most of the goal to aim at .
Robinson was in front of him, blocking a big chunk of teh goal.
Big chance, should have scored, but it was nowhere near as bad a finish as some people are claiming.
The goalie stood still. Adingra screwed up.
Half the goal plus, is a fairly large chunk.
As you said if he scuffs it, it will trickle in because there is a lot of goal unattended.
A classic agree to disagree, I thought it was as bad as people are making it sound and then some…..

The goalie stuck his hand out as he spread himself. It was a good/lucky save. Of course if Adingra had shot one foot farther left or 3 feet to the right he would almost certainly have scored.

It didn't hit his body. It hit his right hand, which was sticking out from his body. It then ricocheted into his body. It was a good/lucky save.

I think we can all agree that Adingra should never be asked to play RWB (again). He is simply too lightweight/disinterested.

His hand was away from his body and it hit his hand first. It wasn't outstretched but it was "outside the silhouette of the body".
Then next to him (as per my second post it wasn’t outstretched) It was a lucky save, but a poor finish.
Edit - he hardly spread himself, unless your definition is different to mine.
