This is going to sound like a really petty criticism of a player who's been largely excellent for us, but what the hell is wrong with his distribution?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that we get rid of him, drop him or even give any of it too much thought, but it's fairly frustrating to watch someone whose overall game is of such a high standard taking such poor kicks.
Michel Vorm had a rare runout against Newcastle in the League Cup recently and the difference was quite startling.
I've got so used to seeing the ball wasted by the keeper that I almost forgot how it can become a potent weapon to have one who's good at starting breaks and picking out a frontman.
It's nice to have the various options that we've got between the posts, including our highly experienced third choice Brad Friedel, so I'm not going to make too much of an issue of it.
Might be an idea to get a little work done on it in training if we ever have a little bit of a break, though.
We haven't had many of them, to be fair.
