[Professor Toffee]

always was

Now he's a great tit

Really bad keeping for there 2 goals, he should command the 6 yard box and Jags face as he sees Tim flapping around nowhere for there second...

Hope there's some good left in him but cannt see it myself

For the first I can understand how a keeper might be indecisive in that situation. Do I come to claim? Do I anticipate the header? Do I anticipate it misses everyone?

'No thanks lad' says Tim, 'I'll just crumple in to this heap instead.'

 

[Dithering Dougie]

TH may as well not be there the goal is open!

Got to look at the whole situation Joe and not just the last touch.

 

[Joey66]

Very poor for the first, but so was Barry, Stones and Jags.

Doug the rain was in his eyes!

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Or get 'fouled'. Nowadays a keeper just needs to run into a player and go down and we win a free kick... It's not pretty but it does the job.

Good point that.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

I understand trying to replicate the WBA game in the next game (even though it was against Man U), but to then try and do it again away to Arsenal after it failed so spectacularly the previous time is pretty stupid.

Someone tell Martinez we aren't going to win every game 3-2.

 

[toffeejack]

Not sure why people are slagging Deulofeu off when his pass to Barkley is the reason why he's there... He's done more than Lennon

he's been fine, just needs help from coleman going forward, he is causing monreal problems, but then alexis tracks back and the left centre back comes over to cover and he's constantly 3 on 1, the dive and assist has shown he's caused real problems with space.

 

[faddy the blue]

Can we get Nigel Martyn in as emergency keeper? Bet he has more balls to catch in his 40s.

 

[Sy-]

Can see either Kone or Kev coming on for Lennon.

The situation is Doug Arsenal know he will not leave his line and he is crap on crosses he is scared stiff -no wonder the played the taller man today easy goals!

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Looks like the beard is making a comeback

 

[The Esk]

Basically he is scared a Coward is Howard!

He needs to spend some time training with the rugby union full backs on coming to meet a ball under pressure. Different I know, but they don't take their eyes of take the ball regardless of the physical presence around them.

I hope he makes a change at half time, we are still in this, just need a bit more going forward, someone with Lukaku like Kone, no point doing at with 20 minutes to go. i would take Lennon off.

 

[Joey66]

Can see either Kone or Kev coming on for Lennon.

I would rather see Robles come on if it gets to 2-2! or even now!
