Mannone

[naughtynose]

Average keeper at best. Thanks for Old Trafford Vito but bye

 

[TopCat]

Had a shit attitude all season.

How so?

 

[Maravilla]

At fault at Wembley

Definitely not worth discussing with you!

Should have done a lot better for their 3rd goal.

 

[Littlerobbieh]

Well I like him.

He should have like.

Well, not really. I don't recall it being said at the time either...

 

[Maravilla]

He has them in his locker, utter shit mistakes, that one v city last season is one of the all time go howlers like.

Once he makes one he seems to make an absolute load of them in quick succession as well.

 

[The Omega Man]

Confidence knackered playing behind some right crap.

Most of you consider Pants being poor because of his kicks but when he played for City didnt had problems with his kicks ... and what he should do when the club tactic is to send ball forward and pray for a bit of luck ? The sad truth is we dont have construction ... we just send the ball forward where is only 1 striker. If you look at stats Pantilimon has the highest average of long balls . It's hard to have precision at that distance . Only De Gea, Curtois and Hart are better than him . Ospina better ? he made a lot of mistakes but Arsenal have 70-80% possession each match and their defense its better than ours.

Doesn't harm pantilimon...

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Never been the same since Southampton away, his heads gone along with his bottle, shame.

That game followed by his howler against Arsenal (not helped by Brown's earlier howler).

 

[The Omega Man]

Never been the same since Southampton away, his heads gone along with his bottle, shame.

Agreed. That game was his undoing.

Mannone was mentally gone after the Southampton game.

Howlers here there and everywhere

Ok I agree there

 

[Maravilla]

Never been the same since Southampton away, his heads gone along with his bottle, shame.

Don't think he was ever the same after Wembley, that Southampton game just absolutely finished him.

 

[CARLOS CLASS]

Pickford playing for Emgland you are having a laugh he will be lucky to be an average championship keeper.

Clueless

 

[Ch1982]

He sits on the bench every match. Never seems excited when we score, never seems happy when Pants does well. Usually just walks straight from the bench to the tunnel after the match ends with no worries. He left the club emotionally months ago.

f***ing hell

 

[Mick Dundee]

I'd say Lloris was in the first tier rather than Ospina.

As for Mannone, if he wants to leave for first team football, fine, if he wants to stay as back up to Pantilimon, also fine.

I forgot Lloris even existed TBH. Yeah he's up there with the others I said. I'd have them both in there, Arsenal appeared much more assured defensively once Wenger dropped Csezny (who would also be in the 2nd tier IMO).

 

[bedlington mackem]

Today doesnt make any difference, but the lad had a brilliant start as many keepers do, then faded quite badly last season. He's a excellent back up, but not really a top flight keeper.

How can one who is not a top flight keeper be an excellent back up ?
