Talking of dickhead keepers, Martinez is being heavily linked with a move away from Villa so that could potentially be an option along with Spurs and Chelsea.
Couldn’t give a toss about Sanchez sulking. Lots of players do it, they’re human, young lads who have big ego’s (you have to have a big ego to even make it as a pro), of course they will make mistakes and do things they regret one day. No issue with that at all.
But what I do care about is the...

The highlight for anyone who had any doubt why RDZ made this call: “in fewer than half as many minutes, Steele has recorded double the number of shot-creating actions.”
I think De Gea is worse. Can’t remember the stat exactly but he has a pretty awful record. He didn’t get near any of ours either today. Spanish thing?!
Agree. Great attitude and excellent keeping, the save from Rashford’s deflected effort was fantastic, but De Zerbi is right, his distribution just isn’t as good as Steele’s.
Personally I’m bringing Steele back in when fit.
Comparing Mac Allister, Mitoma etc’s missed chances to Sanchez’s absolute howler today is as ridiculous as saying we should get rid of him.
Sanchez is a good keeper and suits the way we’re play, he’s generally a very good performer for us and crucial part of our team. Hopefully he’ll be with us...
Not a great night for him but I still trust him.
Don’t forget, he lost his coach and mentor just 2 months ago and has also had to get used to a new manager who uses his keeper in a different way, there was always going to be a difficult period of adjustent for him. Confident he’ll come through it.
Bit shaky first half from crosses/corners and got away with the disallowed goal but excellent second half. Hopefully that will performance and win will give him, along with the rest of the squad, the confidence boost they've looked like they've been missing recently
It’s one of the position’s Potter’s been badly let down in by the recruitment team along with centre back and striker.
We should have got in another first team ready keeper as back up and competition. He needs to be dropped/rested for a bit to get his head straight but Sanchez won’t be as he...
