I cant believe what I'm reading from some on here, the boy had a great game and that shirt is his now.
His kicking ability is probable the best from a goalkeeper in the PL.
Agree about his kicking, not seem anything like that for a while.
 
He had a poor first 50mins. He parried too much, was beaten easily twice and had to have it cleared off the line by defenders when it shouldn't have happened. No doubt he was poor. Not terrible, tragic or bad, but poor...first 50 mins. .

This is utter horseshit. Weapons grade horseshit. The lack of understanding about anything goalkeeping on here has always been infuriating.
 
Not sure about him being automatic number 1, but think it's sealed pantillimon trying to be sold now and him and Vito being left to compete for the goalkeepers position.
 
I don't think the lad done anything wrong and had a solid debut. Obviously he would be nervous, what you kid wouldn't in his position. He's definitely got a bright future and will be or number 1, no questions.

The only thing I'd have liked to of seen, was him take a cross, I don't think he did in the whole game, mainly because arsenal don't cross much. I've therefore no idea what he's like at crosses, which is crucial.
 
I thought he played well, are people saying he was shite like?

Needs to start every game. Better than Pants and Vito

:lol: you posted this after watching him for 45 minutes!

Chant of the day:

'We lose every week, we lose every week, you're nothing special, we lose every week'

Yeah unbelievable wit

How tall is he? He looks really little. He doesn't have that huge, commanding posture that a lot of keepers have. Pants is like a giant (well, he is a giant) striding out to claim the ball.

Yeah but Pants is poor, anything remotely low down and it just goes straight in

Had a horrendous season

I thought he done ok but not sure if he showed everything needed to be a regular premiership keeper just yet. Not knocking the lad mind and he will be our number 1, just hard to say 100% he's ready right now after 1 game surely. Mannone has done well the last couple of games, so not as if we are desperately needing someone to step in asap. We have a little bit of time and he will be number 1 eventually.
 
Decent debut, made a couple of canny saves. Definitely one for the future but not now IMO.

Completely over board about his kicking mind. He did one awful clearance along the deck that could have led to a goal. His other kicks were long and down the middle of the pitch. Nothing to get too excited about just yet IMO.

I'd play Pants, commands his area and is generally solid.
 
Well if you read it right and the rest of the comments then I'm right and I'd like to hear you argue against it.... Because you haven't.
You changed your tune throughout this post though mate, you will have to tell me what post to respond to and I will. My comments at present are based on your first post in which you were highly critical of a young player only 35 minutes into his debut. And another thing, some supporter you must be typing away when you claim you were at the match.
 
If you can actually read the thread and pay attention to what is written and when then you will see that I have not passed judgement on him. I said he was playing poorly up up to the 50 minute stage. I believe and stand by that.

I have also said that the last 40 mins he played well.

I have stated my final position as an overall judgement of the game, once it has ended as being that he had a decent game. Not great and amazing, but not bad either. Why some people cannot read the entire thread or the post time is beyond me.

I cannot compensate for their idiocy in this thread. Apologies.
The idiocy is coming from you though. My comments were made after your first few posts. The first u said pretty much he's pretty poor, then when a few pulled u on it u started back tracking saying he was average overall.

Haven't read the full thread (after my comment) but flicking through it seems you've took it on yourself to deflect your comments by having a go at others, writing essay length replies, calling everyone else idiots and at one point using different coloured text to highlight different points.

Get a grip man and stop taking it so personal. You've had a mare with your first comment and almost everyone who's commented has pulled u up on it. Take it
In the chin, Blame it on the booze like the rest of us would (even if it weren't) ;)
 
Mannone is a disaster waiting to happen every time he plays. You know there is always a mistake in him.

Done well in his last couple of games but overall he's proven that he isn't good enough. Only saw the highlights and it sounds like Pickford did OK yesterday, if that's the case I'd make him number 1 from now on.
