On the second goal and I know goalies post on here.

I agree with the ex-ref:


"If I'm critical as a spectator, I think the goalkeeper was a bit soft and weak in trying to do what he did.

Leno was embassingly weak and I believe goalies have been overly protected but it was a foul. Leno certainly didn't help.

You come for the ball and take everything what’s in your way. that was pathetic from Leno.

Whilst I agree he was so weak, I still do not understand how The ref hasn’t given it . I’m less surprised VAR didn’t rule it out as we seemed to have p. ed off that VAR computer. For the last 10 year or more, if you touch a keeper it’s a foul. Holding now being allowed makes it very tough to disallow anything for a foul on the keeper.

As an ex-keeper, like Wilfred said, it’s my area, if someone gets in my way, they get smashed. I would be upset though if Leno would have pushed or hit the holder and then have a penalty awarded against.

Ultimately though, as my Dad taught me, when you come to punch the ball, you use two hands, one for the ball, the other for the head. Funnily enough you do that once and you suddenly get more space. Leno had to be stronger.

yeah not a big fan of leno tbh either. In my view all the best keepers are tall and physical he is too lightweight in the box in my opinion so he shy's away from taking command when needed. Especially with out flaky defenders as it is a more commanding keeper would do a world of good. at set pieces for sure.

Yeah definitely selling Martinez was big screw up he clearly should have been our no1. Leno has never really impressed me in any game at best he puts in average 6/ 7 out of 10 performance were he saves what you kind of expect him to save really, but he has made plenty of screw ups along the way that have cost us.
