Joel Robles

[Mercedes]

26 now, maybe he is good enough after all. No point playing Stekkers now, give Robles a run and give him chance to prove himself till the end of the season.

I fear he may not quite cut it for a team with aspirations like ours but I'm 100% behind him.

Commanded his box gave the defence confident his distribution was very good - made save when needed another clean sheet miles better than stek imo!

Been saying it for a while but other than Chelsea or United there are very few keepers better than Joel in the prem. Not a priority right now as he's done nothing wrong and is starting to cement a place as No1

 

[AaronTheBlue]

Maybe the new goalkeeping coach is helping him come on a bit too?

 

[Chimpy Glassman]

Saw that and laughed me head off. Really, really like that lad and his January BBQ's.

 

[ToffeeDoug]

Across his career with four clubs, Robles has still only made about 80 starts and has always shown massive improvement when given a decent run in the team rather than an odd game here and there (and some were very odd indeed). Good enough to be our long-term no.1, no he wouldn't be, but absolutely no issue with me staying in the team until the summer if Koeman needs longer to secure the no.1 he wants.

Did well sweeping up but didn't have many saves to actually make.

 

[Woolly Blue]

Did very well today, and it looks like the jersey is his now this season until/unless his form dips.

Well in Joel.

I can think of a few, one very early on

2nd half ideally placed for Aqeros shot tipped it pout for a corner - commanding his box made it hard for city to play ball inside us today!

Fair play to Robles. Let him continue in goal.

 

[Trout Masked Replica]

I think he's boss, not necessarily for his ability to keep the goals, but just all round eccentricity and merrymaking

 

[bobbydigital]

Thought he was proper rubbish when he first arrived but fair play to him, has improved immensely. Hope he gets a good go now and shows he can be consistent.

 

[jinkyali]

Geeing up the Park End at three nil too.

Top guy. All the attributes to be a great goalkeeper. Just needs a chance to either prove it or not.

He never lets us down when called upon. Glad to see he has the shirt for the foreseeable future.
