Joel Robles

Did fine. Not tested that much but we defended much better and were only undone by a piece of skill from aguero which happens.

Hopefully a clean sheet from him on sat now

AaronTheBlue · January 6, 2016

Still rusty obviously but a lot calmer with him in goal and stones actually trusts him enough to pass back to him

Bigmaclad · January 6, 2016

Anyone else think defence looked more assured with him at the back?

Crucial save that and played well. Hopefully he retains the jersey for the next game. Defence looked a lot more assured tonight.

Stones passed and pointed towards Robles for others to pass to him more than ive seen him do all season with Howard, think that speaks for itself.

Possibly could have tried to cover the angle a bit better for the goal but made a couple of good saves and just makes me feel more comfortable to watch than Howard who you expect to fall over if a gust of wind picks up

Great saves against aguero and debruyne aswell

At two key moments as well. Superb display.

His kicking has improved massively

Great save, thought he could have done better with the second one. I wish Martinez would make robles number 1 keeper

Yes a smart save aswell, Tim would have dived for that like a tree falling down, shame about the break away goal, nothing he could do about that, he commands the area the defence looked so sure with him racing off his line!
Tims best position is chewing gum sat behind RM!
Give him a run in the team RM!

is there anyone who watched that game and didn't think that?

Should retain his place

AaronTheBlue · January 6, 2016

Also Robles with game time behind him would have saved the goal imo

He should but he never does.

True, it was the simple things like playing it back to him. He's still a bit dodgy but I think he's worth a run! Take nothing away from the fact we defended so much better as a unit tonight
