The attacker lead with one arm so not a natural jumping stance so in the modern game it should have been chalked off as it would have been in the prem! however im old school so no foul and patto was just weak as piss and way off the ball!
Said this yesterday but we need to stop allowing teams to simply put crosses into our box. The crosser is 20 yards from goal on the corner of our box, the pass was rolled to him from 20 yards away and no one made any attempt to get to him. If we’re going to allow that we need 2 big, strong CH…..
Genuine question, have you ever seen that happen? I'd not be against it, just never seen it happen. On the other hand, I see goalkeepers often clatter players when collecting the ball and often win freekicks themselves in the progress when attackers have done nothing.
I like Patto and have been a big advocate of his but don’t believe his form has suffered because of the views of fans. If that is the case he’s very weak mentally and will never play any higher than he is now.
That is bollocks, very easy for 1 mistake to lead to another for gk’s. Even Allison had a sticky patch not so long back.
This is the worry. His distribution and command of his area have been weak points for a while and I just don’t see any improvement in either aspect at the moment
I said if it’s a case of him making mistakes because of criticism it’s a very serious flaw. What that’s got to do with Allison only you know. Yes it’s true one mistake can lead to another but what’s that got to do with supporters, Allison made those mistakes but wasn’t getting any abuse as far as I can recall.
That wasn't a mistake though it was a clear foul
Perhaps i should say not good enough hand eye coordination and reaction time to make it in the prem and has to many flaws in his overall game ........he might i hope get a run in the prem with us but the prem is an elite league and there are defo 20 better goalkeepers out there than patto so he might get a back up gig at a top team but unless he improves significantly he wont get a slot as a number one at a prem team.Basically im a fan and ive made a judgement about patto i think the is to heavy ,lumbering and slow to make it as a prem goalie his distribution is awful and his decision making is of a very poor standard ,he just hesitates to come off his line or come out for the ball when its clearly what he should do and turns what shoud be a cakewalk into a nightmare!If someone had terrible eye to hand coordination for a goalie, wouldn't that still mean they were a totally shit goalkeeper? He has had a bad spell coming for crosses lately but over the course of his time in the first team, surely you'd have him down as a plus rather than a minus?
I was at the wrong end for the Cardiff shot that hit hit the post second half but to me it looked like a great save. I think keepers have a hard time in general, their good bits get forgotten unless it's a genuine worldie but everyone remembers the bad things.
I reckon there's a decent chance Patto will play Premier League football within the next 2-3 seasons, the same as a few of the other lads. Cracking young team we have at the mo, just hope we can keep most of it together and keep building
It looked like a mistake to me .... if the defender wasnt there patto would not have touched the ball he was way off as he had simply misjudged the fright of the ball !
Maybe Liverpool fans support their players through rocky periods?
I think the nature of the game today is everybody expects a free kick as soon as the keeper goes down. It’s telling if a referee doesn’t give it.
Aye. I’ll be critical of the goal but you need to give him equal credit for that save.
The referee agreed with me
