Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Leeds United

An on target shot can't be an OG even if deflected.

 

Of course it can.

An on-target shot to the far left corner
deflected info the far right corner via an
attempted defender block, for example.

 

Depends on the deflection

If it deflects a couple of inches beyond the keeper's reach, it's given to the shot-taker
If it deflects in a completely different direction, or takes a wild spin so loops over the keeper, it's given as an OG

 

No. If it's on target, goes to the shooter.

 

You don't get the negativity because you don't share it I just explained my negativity in the comment you replied to.
I do not like keepers who parry rather than catch. It's an age old argument and it's all about opinions.

IMO Vicario is a poor decision maker in his distribution. He does not command his area, often looks to be in a panic as he screams at a team mate. He is often an amazing shot stopper but the rest of his game does not fill with me with confidence.

He has improved, if you remember how he was bullied at corners that's now a bit better but IMO he often fails to come and catch a ball that he could to snuff out the danger.

These are just my opinions it's not scientific and I won't die on a hill for them. It could be that I am just out of touch with the modern game. I get the idea of trying to draw the other team forward by passing about at the back but they don't often seem to take advantage by then playing a deep ball forward. Having said that, I can see that Frank is addressing that and we are mixing it up more.

 

Vicario 'came for the cross' that Rodon wastefully headed against the post. He didn't get anywhere near being able to flap at it..at best, he was yards away from it.

We'll not be winning much of anything with a 'keeper whose judgment on 'when to come' is that far awry.

He's very lacking in the coaching that could have made more of his natural talent. We need to go shopping, as he ain't ever going to be good enough.

Did Ange really choose him over Raya...?

 

Raya did exactly the same thing in the match against West Ham! He probably makes fewer mistakes but stops fewer goals too.
