    It's going to be a good thing that the owners realise just how **** these players really are before the summer. It's private probably a bit unfair to be overly critical considering the opposition, but we all know the likes of lacelles, Longstaf and quite frankly the entire side bar maybe Bruno are good enough.

    Max? He's absolutely gutless

    So you've named 2 errors in the premier league. How many saves has he made? How many errors under Howe?

    Lots, but that's his job. Those errors cost us points, he's been decent, but not outstanding.

    I agree however that GK is not the first area that needs strengthening.

    Depends what your definition of "good enough" is.

    Yes Hayden, Lewis, Clark, Laecelles, Longstaff etc should be shown the door, but the others have got us comfortably out of relegation and to mid table. The transformation of the team is gonna be gradual, like City's evolution over several years.

    That's the problem for keepers they make an error and nobody is backing them up to rescue them from an error. Even the very best keepers made a couple of big errors, but when you're a keeper in a **** side you're facing more situations in which a mistake can even happen.

    We probably do need better players in every single position tbh and yeah there's other areas that are more deprived.

    I suspect they'll sign Henderson this summer.

    None of those players are good enough for this league maybe Lewis but there is obviously something not right there.

    Problem is the error today highlighted 2 weaknesses in his play - first not being able to comfortably hang on to a shot that was hardly good enough, secondly a lack of strength and authority to claim the loose ball.

    Jordan Henderson? Id be very surprised, but very happy.

    He's catching that 99 times out of 100 and I therefore wouldn't conclude he's got an issue with it.

    Dean Henderson the keeper man united got robbed for off the back of half a good season at sheff United.

    Christ who've we got next arsenal....another walloping..... It's the last few games watching so many championship players playing though, so it's still a celebration in my eyes.

    Not to compete at the top which was what I was getting at... He's good enough to play in this league though.. He's a very good player.....
