VillaChris Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Frustration is Gollini does the basics well. He makes the regulation saves, is pretty vocal and I really like him coming through crowded areas and catching the ball, Guzan used to do that so well. Ultimately though it's another error that's cost us points so he needs to cut it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens, even to the best 'keepers. If he was all over the shop in his games this far I'd agree. And it takes some time to get a pair of CBs and a GK to learn how to communicate with each other. They've hardly had that. At some point in time, Villa might have to replace him. But then again, that goes for everyone on the squad. Still early days... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midian Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Got to be Elphicks fault he left the ball when Gollini was still few yards away,and Gollinis kick was fine how else could he kick it?Surely the old saying if in doubt kick it out would of been in Elphicks mind.If it wasnt for Gollini tonight we could of concede 2 or 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Two exceptional saves IMO tonight that a lot of other keepers might not have made. He's going to be a great keeper. Couple of freak incidents, that's all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 He had a very good game but that was a howler and was down to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 He was hung out to dry a bit by the defence but if in doubt stick the ball out for a throw in rather than blasting it directly as the striker who is running at you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I don't get this guy. Makes amazing saves but then drops absolute clangers with his kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I blame the defense there. A defender should have taken control of the situation far sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) I dont mind it personally.. as long as he is making saves and catches the ball etc.. he will be okay. I cant blame him at all for the Huddersfield goal. I am amazed people are. If you pause it once the ball is over Chesters head.. he is the closest.. not Gollini.. not even their player. Chester had time to kick it out for a throw or even for a corner. Just play it safe. He signalled for Gollini to come out but the ball was short.. and he had little else to do but kick it. The defender lunged for it.. again could have gone wide.. it usually does.. Unlucky. Sheffield Wednesday.. was his fault. We have to remember he is very very young for a goal keeper. De Gea made quite a few errors when he first signed for Utd.. and now hes regarded as one of the best. They need time on the field to gain experience.. we wont see the best of him for a little while yet. I just hope this hasnt affected his confidence too much. Will be playing on his mind in the next match. Especially if the Derby fans get on his back. We will know if we have a player if he bounces back from this and not crumble like Enkleman did.

lexicon Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Youngsters will make mistakes - it's how they learn. It's very important that people don't get on his back and destroy his potential and confidence. Edited August 17, 2016 by lexicon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Freak occurrence that it ended up in the back of the net. We need to get an exorcist in before the end of the transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunther Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 You could run that scenario a thousand times without he ball ending up in the net. Yes, maybe he should have kicked it to the side but you live and learn. It shouldn't have mattered as we should have been three or four goals clear by that time with the chances we had. Let's not get on his back, he's stupidly young for a keeper and has some ability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Thomas Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I thought he did very well and made some good saves. Think he is going to be very good this year. Agree with others - must keep backing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt seem to have learnt after the Wednesday mistake, just kick the ball out for a throw for gods sake, dont take un-necessary risks at 1-0. So frustrating.

kurtsimonw Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 The mistakes are completely unrelated. If anything he did learn from the Wednesday mistake as he ensured he put his foot through the ball and didn't slice it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Are same people who are applauding RDM for assembling a strong spine (Chester , Elphick, Mccormack and hopefully Jedinak) are the same people who praising the purchase of a 21 year rookie as first choice ? Does the basics well ? - Really I would have though ensuring your clearance get past the opposition player is pretty much as basic as it gets. Might be one for the future - But if we want promotion we need an experienced guy between the sticks whether that's Mark Bunn or a via the transfer market remains to be seen. Many more like last night and Im sure the word will come down from big Tony to sort it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
