Fucking livid with the keeper. It was his fault we were 1-1 and he’s fucking standing on the ball as if we’re 5-0 up. Painfully slow.
He was standing on the ball similar to Emi Martinez at Villa. Brighton also use that tactic. Try to draw out strikers.
Dean should have scored, Lofthouse should shoot or pass faster, Harrison touch awful. Lewingtons pass to Bate. Our tactics which killed any conposure we have in final third. So many things wrong, but easy to blame the ball playing keeper - who yes made a mistake for their first goal. We should be livid with the attackers for not killing the game, not the keeper for putting his studs on the ball
I get that, but it wasn’t drawing them out at 1-1 as they were happy to sit. We were chasing the game and he was just massively slowing it down and the reason why the fans were getting on his back.
His passing was decent but not without error. Some of his long passing was shocking and he kicked it right at their player. If we signed him for his passing, then I’m disappointed with what I saw. Tomlinson was also getting pretty frustrated.
All well and good doing a few passes that most keepers can’t do, but if you’re overall game is weak you’re in trouble. In this league, he’s going to get absolutely abused at set pieces.
Hoping he settles and improves over the next few games.
