The 2019 Summer Clearout

[Maltared]

to be fair to pants for the first goal, colback shouldnt have been beaten like that was disappointing. we never got a grip

Imagine the reaction if that would have been Osborn and not Colback?

Regarding Pants, I have been saying it all season...We need a new goalkeeper in the summer.

First goal he should definitely stopped. 2nd goal the shot was excellent but he really should be doing better in my book. 3rd goal i dont think he could have done much about.

It wasnt his best night's work. Ok every player has a bad game every now and then. BUT, this is not the first night he's had a bad night.

When the pressure cranks up he goes missing.

3rd goal, he should have intercepted it, it was a dangerous cross that defenders expect their keeper to bail them out and not remain stuck on his line. Crosses like those or are intercepted by the keeper or will end up in an own goal as the defender is facing his goal.

I had their third goal down as being as a result of an excellent delivery. It had pace and direction. The 2 CB's were static. I don't think you can put that one down to him to be honest.

Perfect delivery yes, but you dont see much goals conceeded like that in the premiership or some of the foreign leagues, why? because good keepers `own` the box, if not the big one at least the small one... a giant like ours should be more imposing. My guess is that players like Milo and big Ben are used to have keepers behind them that crosses like those eat them on a plate and dont have to risk committing an own goal. Re watch the goal and tell me how a defender facing our goal was going to intercept that cross without the risk of an own goal? ... even their player was surprised to find the ball hitting him...he never expected that the ball was going to cross the whole area with no one touching the ball...
