Mate you can be as argumentative as you like, it's what we're here for <laugh>

Goalkeepers are very isolated and any mistakes they make are seen as huge and glaring. Whatever other mistakes occur in the build up to a goal, the buck stops with the keeper, he has nowhere to hide.

I agree.

Can think of very few glaring errors.

Mingolet v arsenal.
mingolet v chelsea free kick year before for example


I think its more about confidence in the team as a whole in their GK and that odd worldie save that really makes the difference. A well oiled defence concedes few goals. A defence all over the shop concedes goals.

It was clear to me last year that we drew too many.

we won 21, drew 12 and so lost 5.

We were mean v lower half but conceded 2 per game v top half

would a better keeper have changed those results?

12 draws
Watford A 3-3 (windy rememebr)
burnley H 1-1
newcastle A 1-1 (terrible centre halves. 1 on 1 with keeper. unfiar to think this would have been stopped but maybe)
man utd H 0-0
chelsea H 1-1 (willian fluke, was this mingolets fault really)
Everton H 1-1 (lvoren error pen)
West brom H 0-0
Arsenal A 3-3 (mingolet error)
Tottenham H 2-2 Karius semi error, deffor pen given away by vvd)
Everton A 0-0
West brom A 2-2 (pish performance all round)
Stoke H 0-0

You tell me...... can i put down 3 errors leading to draws to GKs?

Unless he's Superman then I'd say no another keeper wouldn't have done better. Keeper wasn't at fault for most of those - as your analysis shows.

A losing game is very rarely one players fault. It's a team game and so speaks for itself that all parts need to play to perfection to achieve a perfect result. The game isn't perfect, teams aren't perfect, as close to perfect is dreamland but once in a while isn't good enough either.

exactly.

I think we all agree that we won't win stuff with him but its not like you can specifically point to too many games like the CL final as to why.

Its just general jesus he's a dodgy one feeling just watching him.

shaqiri out of world cup. will see if rumours had any founding in reality.

Germany.have been out a week and no players bid on

If only fekir is of interest obviously nothing can happen there.

It’s always a domino effect .....World cup complicates everything. I still think that we’ll sign 3 more as Keita was already in the bag

three?

that'd be lovely.

we need to sell and buy but who knows..

5 or 6 was my view if... if we were to challenge.

as we stand we have added 2 and bid on a third.. after that... who knows

There was. Statement made before the window that we were looking to add a few.

We’ve signed fabhino and the Chelsea kid and obviously Keita.

Minimum 2 more. Hopefully 3. And one has to be a keeper, surely??
