A New Keeper

The only blame for that goal yesterday goes to ETH. Malacia was getting murdered on the right hand side time and again yet ETH made no changes till late after. Was it so difficult to put Lindelof at RB and have Maguire at CB with Martinez.
If not for Garncho's goal we would have spoken about it more.

I thought this at half time, but in fairness Malacia was fine in the second half and Lindelof was excellent at CB.

The goal comes from a sloppy bit of play from Bruno, but I think anyone trying to blame Lindelof, Martinez, Shaw or De Gea are being incredibly harsh. People seem to expect players to react to things as if they are playing in a slow motion replay.

ETH in.
Champions of mediocrity. Out

He does that for nearly every shot though. He makes himself as small as possilble.

That is why De Gea is the worst premierleague goalkeeper in away games in 2022. He has conceded over 11 goals more than expected in side with one of the best defences away from home in the league on 2022.

De Gea will probably survive as he has done before on the basis of more urgent needs eslewhere in the squad.

But equally he does look to be improving weaker aspects of his game, which does rather make me wonder what the hell we've been doing with these players the last few years.

A very good point. Well, Josée was busy criticizing his players publicly, and Ole doing the opposite: praising them and asking them to go and enjoy themselves on the pitch. Not a single player improved under these two mangers.

Apparently we are interested Diogo Costa from Porto.

Wolves could go down. I wonder if Jose Sa would be an option?

I actually quite like Sa. But Costa is apparently much better, and will end up being Portugal’s number one. Could sort the position for years given his age as well.

It would be worth buying a relegated keeper just to see the reaction on here
