Can it possibly be acceptable for a PL keeper to not do his research on the opposing team’s penalty takers prior to a game? And where were the GK coaches - surely they have to ensure that the dog doesn’t eat their #1’s homework?

I mean, wtf?

Almost bizarre this can happen given the support they have and analysis undertaken these days. Admitting it publicly makes him and the GK coaching staff sound hugely unprofessional.

This, probably though they would be 4-0 up by half time so that by the time Zaha got a chance to throw himself in the box it wouldn't really matter. I'm surprised they even named a goalkeeper to be honest.
