I said at the time that what he did was a potential season wrecker given the location and the timing.

Our slump is almost entirely his fault. Don't underestimate the damage he caused through his arrogance. He has a lot of making up to do. Another frenetic, arrogant performance last night. I don't think the lad has any common sense. He needs to use these mistakes positively because he's wasting his ability at the minute.

Dont know about season wrecker, but it for sure took the wind out of our sails. We’ve been medicore since.

Some mightn't be able to tolerate the truth - but this is the strength of the matter. His derby madness has stopped any momentum we had in its tracks. It's been plainly observable. We've been lacking in composure and self-belief in the last two games that would easily have yielded 6 points off the back of a decent derby result.

I think most sensible people woud accept that.
 
With some stiff competition the last two posts are possibly two of the worst this forum has ever seen.

Mentality and momentum are crucial for a team like us and his mistake came at the worst possible time. We were on a good run and his stupidity unravelled all our good work.

He will still hopefully learn from it and it could be the making of him long term. But he has to take responsibility for this slump. It's hard to recover from.sonething so horrific when the games are coming so fast. Last night he was playing without a brain. He couldn't take goal kicks properly. He was lashing the ball constantly out of play. He was belting it through to Foster. He sprinted out and tried to tackle Keane under no pressure. Yet he was rooted to his line when the high floated ball came in.

He plays for show and it needs to end. He's not too good to act like the basics are beneath him. Until he learns to show some humility and concentrate on the basics then he wont reach the very high levels he should.

He has the poorest judgement of any England international GK that I can recall...and that includes duffers like James and Green.
 

He was actually a similar GK to Pickford; impertuous most of the time and every now and again pulled off an outstanding save.
