Joel Robles

[nsno-chris]

Yes he needs to improve he is still young , but some posters on here expect him to save everything, we won 4-2 they seem to overlook that point!

Ti be fair to him he did pull of some good saves as well

Yes but forget them just highlight one mistake !
The same critics went missing after his performance in midweek!

In the week you said this about De Gea and laughed. So are you saying he did two mistakes.

what let the ball go between his legs you mean?lol

Hope we get someone in the summer.

poor for the 2nd goal no doubt about it and didn't command his box on a couple of crosses but great save at the end.

I don't think he's the answer to our number 1 conundrum but there's no doubt he's trying his best and he'll be as disappointed as anyone with the goal conceded from the free kick

Poor comms clashed with jags a few times due to it, needs to open his mouth its big enough.

 

[toffeejack]

It was straight at him and he put it back into danger. If that was Howard you would want blood.

It was mainly tongue in cheek, this forum does jump on him a fair bit after a dodgy moment. I think that free kick was a bit of a freak tbh and can't find it in me to blame him too much. I just like it if he gets praised for the good things, I think it was a good reflex save myself

My opinion remains unchanged. He's a decent no.2 but not good enough if we're wanting top 4.

Thing is what top 4 keepers can we get? Hart, Heaton, Schmeichel and Pickford not even close to that standard, that is the issue I have. I like Robles but if we can get better we should, but even being in the Europa league isn't going to attract a top 4 standard keeper

He jumped forwards as the free kick was being taken. His feet are off the ground as the ball is struck.

Pickford is a couple of levels below but will improve possibly to that level. If we want to dominate teams we need to play a high line and that means a keeper whose very good with his feet like Pickford....the opposite of schmeichel.

Butland if fit would be the ideal keeper, he's going to be in the same bracket as de gea etc once he gets into a better team.

Robles is a good keeper though and I think would be a perfect backup and I'm sure lower/mid table teams would snap him up

wasn't the free kick for the second goal for obstruction? If it was, the free kick should have been indirect.

Isn't his distribution the thing Schmeichel is known for?

His dad was great at throwing but did you see today where he just launched the ball out of play or straight to our defenders over and over?

 

[argietoffee]

Exactly mkfrand

A rare misstep from Ronkoe was keeping on this clown instead of bringing in Hart

Stek is better than Jo Hart.

He has been awful at Torino too.

Joel is with ten of that bang of nerves.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Could have done better with the goals but also made some decent saves

Grew into the game as it went on

Typical Joel performance really. Solid enough but I really think he needs to be showing a bit more in the coming weeks, otherwise Koeman might look to the market to replace him
