He fucked up for their goal.
Yeah, as I said he should be our No. 2For a young, inexperienced keeper, think he has done sterling work when he's played. Yes of course, he will make mistakes - name one keeper who doesn't. For me, as long as we don't lose the game, not too bothered.
I thought he pulled off one great save in the 2nd half, all the others saves you'd expect any 'keeper to have made. Their goal was a howler from him.On last nights showing he could/should be our number 2
However, to me anyway, there seems a bit of doubt about him being a vampire, not only for their goal but also for the "penalty " shout that the commentators were praying to be given, He came for it, stopped, went again and then backed out of it.
A keeper needs to be decisive, whether that decision is right or wrong, otherwise the defenders won't have a clue what he's going to do.
The more he plays the more comfortable he will get IMO. He'll grow more comfortable in the box as time goes on and let's be honest not every keeper is going to be a sweeper. Some are just pure goal line shot stoppers.I thought he pulled off one great save in the 2nd half, all the others saves you'd expect any 'keeper to have made. Their goal was a howler from him.
What I really enjoyed from him, however, was the way he celebrated/congratulated almost every tackle his defenders put in, especially that tackle on lurch in the 2nd half.

HE'S GOT A TASTE FOR BLOODI didnt get the vampire thing
He will not play in this team if he can't sweep or play with his feet.The more he plays the more comfortable he will get IMO. He'll grow more comfortable in the box as time goes on and let's be honest not every keeper is going to be a sweeper. Some are just pure goal line shot stoppers.
He's definitely earning his stripes for us this season and losing Vorm in the summer (most likely) is going to be very much painless.
Play with his feet won't be an issue at all. Gazza probably has the best ball control with his feet out of all our goalkeepersHe will not play in this team if he can't sweep or play with his feet.
Honestly, haven't seen evidence to support this at all. I'm not saying he bad at either, just given the few games he's played it's not what I would say is a stand out feature to his game (slightly unfair because it's such a small sample size but his pass completion rate is bellow Lloirs, which goes against your claim somewhat)Play with his feet won't be an issue at all.

I know keepers play until they are older but he is 26 - not that young.For a young, inexperienced keeper, think he has done sterling work when he's played. Yes of course, he will make mistakes - name one keeper who doesn't. For me, as long as we don't lose the game, not too bothered.
I beg your pardonDoesn't look confident in the box at all. Which is surprising considering his size.
He don't like crosses.I didnt get the vampire thing
