I do feel sorry for Jason - the mistake was an awful ricket, one of the worst howlers you'll see, and it ultimately cost us the match. No getting away from that, but keepers make mistakes, that happens, you move on. it is what it is as a wise man often said. But the miss at the end, that will...

I wish this advice had been taken on about a year ago when the best young goalkeeper I ever seen at the club was going through a rough patch.

Steele is picked because he's great with his feet and then absolutely skanks the chance at the end. Just stick it in the net Jason!

Will he bloody well better be or I'm going to get quite upset 😀 I have faith that he is considering he's been called up to the full Dutch squad already

Costing us points isn't the issue, he doesn't really make mistakes to my memory. What Steele doesn't do is WIN us points, but i hope that Bart can do that (y)

You're probably right. It doesn't really make much sense though :shrug: Bart is very good with his feet. So he immediately nullifies Steeles skills, begging the question why not play him more?

Now you're just being silly :wrong:

I'm not making that link, so don't worry. But they're is a correlation between possession and number of shots. Would you agree that scoring the first goal is important in games where teams sit back against us? So it follows that if our keeper can pull off a worldie preventing the other team...

I remember Sanchez making a good save on his debut too, if that helps. And dropping a clanger at Palace. But I'm shaping a narrative here goddammit man!

Yeah they were all rather turd today :lolol:

See above Keepers do make worldies. I like Steele, but I'm not going to keep liking Everton scoring 5, Villa 6, or West ham and AEK scoring 3 each from next to no possession. It's not his fault today, i totally blame RDZ's formation. But days like today are the only time we really get to...

I was fairly drunk by the fifth, to be fair :) But no, i don't think 'its fine' that he just saves the ones he should, because that just ends up with Everton scoring 5, Villa scoring 6, West ham scoring 3 off 20% possession, AEK scoring three the same way. Is it too much to ask for a keeper...

That's not the point though is it. No, we didn't lose because of Steele, and that's generally true everytime we lose with him. But how many games have we won because of him? Can't think of any. We beat West Ham if they're keeper doesn't have a blinder. We beat Chelsea in the Carabao if their...

Their second certainly, also their fifth and sixth. Third and fourth no, they were deflections. First certainly very hard to save. Point is that no one is blaming him for not saving any of them them, well hit goals to the corners. But the best keepers pull out jaw-dropping saves that you can't...

Sure, we will always have players who have off games or who make mistakes. That's why having a keeper who can pull off worldie saves is such a bonus. Sanchez shanked the ball into the stand over and over again in midweek. But when his teammate made a mistake he was there to make a great save...
