AVTuco Posted August 28, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2016 Our keeper situation is unacceptable. A young inexperienced number one, and two others no-one has any faith in. Need to bring in someone Tony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 watching highlights and in 1st half they took a weak shot from outside the box and he parried it out for a needless corner he needs spend next 10 days or so working on gripping long shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted August 28, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2016 Only just seen the 'save' that was parried to the striker, for me that is worse than the kicking errors by far. Disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwj Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) I just watched the goals again about 10 times here: I really have no idea what the **** you're all on about Goal 1: It bounced in front of him. Keepers are coached to parry bouncing balls. Could have been MAYBE a bit more to the side. Amavi asleep for the rebound. Goal 2: Wtf was Westwood doing for the assist, holding the midfielders hand? Chester up out of the line. Finish was decent for 1v1 Goal 3: He didn't need to take any steps before the leap, so positioning was fine for me, finish was top corner. Where's the problem? Or are you all just looking for a scapegoat? Edited August 28, 2016 by mwj 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I remember De Gea getting slaughtered for pretty much his whole first 12 months. Armchair experts at it again. Kid will be fine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical villa Unfortunately Richard he has cost us points thus far, people were ok after the first, second but he was poor against bristol city so righly he is getting critised. The only way for him to turn it around is improved performances. I think we need another keeper as competition for him. Imagine he makes a clanger against blose at the sty for example? Fans will never forgive him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me he has looked pretty good at times but he is costing us too many points, if this continues then he has to be dropped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that at this stage id rather give him the chance and support him rather than completely knacker him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans will never forgive him. He's going to make mistakes, he isn't the finished article. If he was then he wouldn't have come to us and even if he would come to us he would have cost three times as much. He's a kid , I would prefer a decent back up as I don't rate steer or bunn but the important thing is this kid will improve and we want it to be with us. Just typical for us that we demand perfection and in so doing will do our best to finish his career before he is finished . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) We have a couple of options with Gollini Either drop him, or start scoring 2 - 3 goals a game so the mistakes he makes do not matter Harsh but if we want to be promoted we need a solid goalkeeper to build from i'm not convinced Edited August 29, 2016 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 international break comes at a good time for him. More time to spend working together and relaxing before the next match. I'd stick with him for a while longer before taking him out of the firing line. It would help him and the defence a lot if the forward lot could actually give the side a breather by scoring 2nd and 3rd goals more often!

I don't think from my point of view anyway, it's demanding perfection it's just the mistakes are costing us. I would rather have someone challenge him for number one to keep him on his toes. As you say bunn, I dont rate him too. He is young so foes have potential that's why I think we need someone competing with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 We aren't scoring many goals. That highlights the defensive/goalkeeper errors even more. Strikers/midfielders get more chances to get it right during a match, the defensive unit get one chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonno_2004 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Think he has potential but it's the one transfer I felt with we might regret - didn't need a fancy keeper this season, just a solid one with a bit of experience. Gollini might develop to the extent he is an international regular but the points we've dropped already might prove crucial come the end of the season.

In all seriousness the the capacity of us as fans to shoot a player down in flames just because they are not twice as good as we expect them to be is astounding. Back on topic Gollini will be fine, we just need to have some experience as back up and that's not Bunn. I watched the Boro / Sunderland game last weekend and observed Guzan making his usual error of not holding onto shots. He got away with it that time but I did heave a sigh of relief that he no longer our keeper. Is Gollini worse than Guzan? I don't think so.
