Maarten Stekelenburg

[Jreverton1]

Not impressed. All he did all game was pass the ball back to Spurs and invite more pressure on himself. Of course, he may have been trying to bypass a very poor bunch of teammates in front of him.

I think he did well and maybe he just doesn't trust whats in front of him, have to see how he gets on but at 22 he looks decent.

Regardless of how 'clear' the Negredo header was an infringement, at West Brom and yesterday he showed a worrying inability to stand up to a robust challenge.

one goal conceded from 6 matches where he wasn't flagrantly fouled. that's a cracking record regardless of who the opposition is.

True. Should have gathered it in and held it though.

No, the ref should have done his job and called the foul.

Negredo didn't even make contact with the ball, just the player. Moronic that you are slating one of our own players when it was clearly a foul.

Behind a blanket of players packing our defence out.

A "foul" like that won us a cup mate. No one was complaining then. Maybe we should apologise to Watford?

Only Sours have conceded more goals this season, with the amount of goals that seem to be going in all over the league this seaosn so far, having a serious defense, to be a top four contender you got to be rock solid at the back.

A game against Watford has nothing to do with this.

He was fouled and the ref should have called it. The fact he didn't, doesn't make it Stek's fault, it means the ref was crap.

Jesus Christ.

That Pickford looks a good 'keeper, he'll learn a lot playing for Sunderland this season and he's only 22 as well, or am I gonna get a load of abuse for writing this?

He looks decent, problem is on such a poor team, keepers tend to look good sure to the sheer number of shots they face. An example would be Marshall for Cardiff for instance.

...still good though, yes?

13 points from 15 must be doing something right...hang on a minute, I'm getting drawn into another one of your wind ups, you're good you dave very good.

 

[Caolam]

I would have preferred him to gather the ball in and hung onto it but he was fouled and the goal should not have been given. A clean sheet would have been good but maybe not a reflection of Stek as they didn't have a shot on target.
Still happy enough with him and if the alternative was Hart I am more than happy.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

If he enters a good performance against City, he should be declared our undisputed #1 IMO

That'll be a proper test against a big time side who are scoring a lot of goals

He turns it on against them, we'll know he's the real deal and can put the debate to bed
