Bickering about the nuances of our reserve keepers performance in a pre season friendly.......

......we've come along way in ten years.

(Ben Alnwick says hi)

I would say the quality of back up goalkeepers is a key point for clubs at all levels of football, I'm not sure I catch the drift of your post.

Also don't want to tempt fate but one bad injury to Lloris and this will be the man in the sticks potentially for quite a while. Alongside a few others I will say his improvement from Southampton days is quite remarkable, was a tad worried about this signing but I do feel confident with him as the reserve keeper.

Interestingly there doesn't seem to be any rumored keeper signings, it will be a great sign of confidence in Whiteman if nobody else is brought in.

We have played a trialist GK in a few recent U23 games. It has been mooted whether or not he might be a potential 3rd GK.

I think that he's probably filling a gap to allow the others in that group to take a step up if necessary.

Wasn’t he a player released from a lower league team to fill in the numbers

Liverpool have done something similar

Yeah, he was released by Southend. I am aware of a non-league youth keeper who trained with us last season, so maybe this is a gap that we've been looking to fill for a while.

The way he did not come off his line for the first goal tonight was very worrying. Such a basic thing for a keeper to do, close down the angle.

See Villa just signed Pope for 8m. Frankly I would rather have him as our number 2 then Gazzinga.

I wouldn't want to have to rely on him for long in the league

I’ve seen Lloris stay on his line and get beat a good few times. It’s a judgement call, he got it wrong it happens. The only way we’d know whether he does get it right more times than not is by playing for an extended period of time. It’s unfair to judge him either way based on the odd game here and there, especially in pre season. The games he’s had to fill in competitive games he’s looked decent enough. Much made about nothing for me....

He was very poor for the first goal. He had no power in his legs at all and should have got across quite comfortably.

It was really poor
He hasn’t been great at all pre season
But he does well on penalty shoot outs

I think keepers come into reborn own when they know their getting a run

I think that his weaknesses would be targeted and exposed. He's an average shot stopper and that costs goals.

 

[glasgowspur]

He's a decent back up, he attracts plaudits because one of his strengths, having the ball at his feet, is hugos biggest weakness.

 

[nayimfromthehalfwayline]

A number of times he played last season I dont think we missed Lloris at all. And I do think its notable his kicking/distribution is better than Lloris.

But of course, its all pros and cons with every player isnt it?

So far as back up goes Im happy with him.

Very poor today at Leicester. I felt that he should have done better on a number of occasions and should have stopped Madison's goal.

the spill for the disallowed effort was criminal as well

It really was.
