Looks like he's lost all confidence recently.

He's never been a great shot stopper however a big part of his game was handling/distribution.

Since Hull at home he's certainly lost his way. He's not saving shots that he really should be saving, his legs look like led when he's moving across his line and now he doesn't even have the confidence to claim crosses.

Is it worth putting Ustari in for the rest of the season and taking Mannone away from the firing line (especially when our next 2 are City and Chelsea)? Then Mannone can focus on being first choice for next season.

None of the players look happy campers. Obviously something's going on behind the scenes.

Poyet isn't giving them their way probably but because he's not rebuking any of them by name in public they can't do anything as they did with PDC.

Looked really uncertain mind. Really didn't want to catch the ball and that's the biggest part of his game. He's said before he's a confidence keeper.

Arguably could have done better with the own goal and there's quite afew goals recently you can say that he should have done better with (i can name them if you want).

Want him to be first choice next season but when he looks out of form and with our next 2 games ...

He's not mind his shot stopping is poor, he's caught on his heels quite a bit, never seen the ball go just past a keeper so many times. Also he is left standing more than any other keeper in the division.

His big + is his handling, command of area, distribution. When he looks like he's lost his confidence so he isn't coming to claim the ball it seems strange to keep playing him.

I like him but he is struggling atm
