Joel Robles

Robles as a whole has played better than expected this season. Still I don't think he is good enough, but one aspect where he is especially below average is distribution. Doesn't make smart decisions and doesnt have the accuracy on the kicks. Whenever the ball went back to him you knew he would just boot it upfield for spurs to easily take it back.
 
Should've saved the first, 25 yards out, he saw it all the way, wasn't that far from him. Second was a howler, no idea how he thought that was a good place to sling it. We all know we need a new keeper but that surely sealed it?
 

If Pickford is 10-13M I wouldn't complain. However I think we need a defender or 2 plus an attacking player and a striker 1st. Williams is old, Funes is not Mr. Reliable, Jags is off to a side like Brighton.

I like Leno from Leverkeusen but he gives up goals like a champ because they have absolutely no defense there.
Agreed...2 centre backs needed.
 
Should have saved the first shot & didn't need to play the ball out to Schneiderlin. But Schneiderlin was at fault with his pass to Williams, he should have just knocked it back to Robles. Personally I think his distribution is fine, it's certainly a lot better than Pickfords.
 

The best keepers in the league have had worse games than this this season.

If any goalkeeper that had a howler wasn't good enough for us, we wouldn't have a goalkeeper.

I think Robles will be ok when we play West Brom and Hull. He still deserves to keep his place till the end of season.
