Joel Robles

Seems a good guy.

I am not directly comparing the two but Big Nev was the same age as Joel by the time he nailed down the starters spot permanently.

Hopefully Steve Walsh can see what any fair minded fan can.... of the 3 keepers we have had over the last year, he is the best by far. Then he needs to learn the Dutch for "bin your crap mate"

And he is only going to get better with age and games.

Bet Big Nev will say the same too.

Did very, very well today.

Still in desperate need of a keeper, though.

Even if true that really isn't saying much.

That ball up top to Mirallas was unbelievable watching it back. It was a bit lucky to some degree but it was drilled and did make it very hard for the defenders to cut out

Stutheblue · December 27, 2016

Wasn't happy with him for the goal in the Derby (from original bobbling shot). Although I haven't watched it back yet to be fair. Too painful.
But of the two keepers we currently have, I'd just favour him. Not much in it though. Both just standard keepers. Ok ish.

Joel made everythink look easy yesterday, the sort of things Stek makes look extremely difficult.

He definately deserved to be in goal until we sign a boss keeper.

KaiserEFC · December 27, 2016

Impressive yesterday, in total control. Would like to see him against a team with more of a threat than Slimani though

Ring master · December 27, 2016

Didnt have much to do,but took crosses/catches quite well,made the Slimani header look easy,so many probably would have pattered that down and dropped on it,think even koeman was a bit more happy about him the way he spoke of him after the game as well as though he might stay as keeper friday,still not a number 1 for me and still want a new keeper,but feeling a touch more confident with him

Carlito · December 27, 2016

He's a bit slow at getting down, but other than that I like him.

blue61 · December 27, 2016

Two full league games, two clean sheets. Deserves to start on Friday.

Robles isn't a great keeper but he is better than stek,not by much but better.

Joel will not even be 10% of the keeper Nev was it's ridiculous to compare them directly or indirectly

Correct.

Moomin · December 28, 2016

He won't be here next season.

Stop dreaming he will be like Southall, that's an insult to a legend.

Like trying to say Cleverly is the same age as Bracewell when he bossed our midfield.

Get real, he is not good enough. Harsh but true.
