Rousseau 9,647 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 A better 'keeper - in terms of style - helps us build out from the back and helps negate one of our defensive frailties (the counter). I would argue those skills are more important now that someone that can pull off a wonder-save now and again. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A picnicker who gifts goals when playing out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any keeper who has a picnic on the field of play has to be suspect. 😉 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His distribution is as bad as it always was and we saw in the CL that if you just give possession back to teams from a kick-out from your keeper, they will punish you. We get away with it in the league, but even then, we often give possession away which breaks our rhythm and invites opponents on to us. He's a legend. But he also looks another year older and a wee bit slower that he did last year. Gio sticking with him after that semi-final at Hampden baffles me to this day.

I didn't mention a player. I meant a new signing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
