Didn't actually have much else to do as Kane penalties are pretty much unsaveable. He'll be back. Last errors were v West Ham and he was excellent next match v Arsenal so usually bounces back with a clean sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinicius had judged the pass a slight second ahead of Konsa so he'd have been favourite to get it and be in on goal. Right decision, just poor execution of the kick.

the_eristic Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 3 hours ago, S-Platt said: I think he is carrying an injury personally that is effecting his kicking. I agree. It has dropped off massively over the last several games, and having had to have an injection and Mings take goal kicks for him a few weeks back says playing with a niggling injury to me. Regarding the goal, it wasn't a great ball out to a player under pressure, though I would guess it's because we really needed to try to hold onto the ball as we were winning nothing from high balls. In any case, a turnover near enough the center circle required a number of mistakes by the rest of the players in between for it to end in a goal, wasn't like they chipped it over him or blasted it in from 30 yards out. Defense needed to be more alert there for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo he posted of the team after the last game suggests morale is still high and this chap is as much at the centre of it as anyone else. Another contender for POTS.

It's Your Round Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 That save in the build up to their second goal today was world class. He’s done his best today and made some brilliant stops, commanded his area and just been let down by his team mates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That save should've got us the point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Even the save for the first goal was brilliant. However Mings was on his heels and Salah came from.behind to ram it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings got outpaced by a player that is quicker than him. That save pretty much summed up the game for me though. The ball falls perfectly for Salah whereas the Trezeguet shot off the post doesn’t fall kindly for us. Fine margins and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t hit with that much power so his normally getting a stronger hand on that. But overall he played well as always. I find it more infuriating that there left back is getting a shot off from the edge of the area when we had the ball a few moments earlier (I think). We just couldn’t handle them for large periods of that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 POTS for me. He is class. Brilliant attitude too. He must have been worth at least 10 points so far this season. He deserves better protection from the midfield to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted April 11, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 11, 2021 Just listening to his post match interview. He strikes me as the sort of character that could really make it as a manager in the future. I'm not sure of many keepers that go into management (rather than just goalkeeping coaches) but he seems to have all the attributes to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 he has looked quite dejected in the last couple of interviews he has seen, he clearly see's our form dropping off a cliff also. Great player, great guy, one of only 4-6 players i think are actually top level players for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Amongst a lot of the negativity of recent months, this guy continues to be a shining light. What a signing he has been. Two or three midfield players to have a similar impact next season and we will be transformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
