I don’t buy that tbh - we are in the slightly unusual position (for a squad our size) of having two great PL seasoned GKs in the squad, so that’s a luxury not an entitlement - the situation was never going to be sustainable in terms of keeping them both happy indefinitely. GKs cant be rotated...

Yeah, not a happy experience I’m sure. If Silva and Haaland put 6 past us on 24th, I hope the same people knocking Sanchez now for getting pissed off he‘s been replaced and saying he deserved it for ‘his mistakes’, won’t afterwards be knocking RDZ for playing Steele instead of Sanchez 🤷‍♂️ (of...

Firstly- you have a right to express a POV as I do so respect your right to hold a different view to mine - but that’s all it is - POVs based on rumours, hearsay and obscure remarks from the manager - none of us are in complete possession of the facts. Secondly - yes, Sanchez is not only a...

This isn’t an ideal situation for any top player wanting to play football rather than gather splinters for the sake of it but for a GK it’s worse as coaches rarely sub GKs off the bench unless for injury. Sanchez has been a great stopper for us and served us well for several years in the PL2...

To be fair, much of the starting line up decisions depend on what the coaches see in training, so I agree that your point is valid for Steele’s goal saving - however, while I agree we haven’t seen much of him, especially in league ganes where the oppo is always fielding their first team, I...

Nice analysis but tbh anyone that is very familiar with both RDZs style of football (from watching us since September last year) and Sanchez’s style of play (who most realised would be on a steep re-learning curve with RDZ from day one) will not have been surprised by this having watched Steele...

Steeley standing in for Sanchez is nothing to do with ‘punishing Sanchez’ or Sanchez ‘not being good enough’, ‘Sanchez refusing to play DeZerbi ball or pushing back on RDZs style’ or a sign that ‘we won’t see Sanchez again’ - as I said above, Steele is not necessarily a better GK than Sanchez...

RDZ’s style of play and what he wants from a keeper in terms of leading play out from the back is something that seems to come naturally to Steele whereas for Sanchez, it’s been a steep learning curve that he is still not entirely comfortable with IMO. Steele is not just a great keeper on his...
