The fact he wasn’t Tim Howard or Stekelenburg and he did actually make saves was a novelty for us in the first season. But he definitely has got much worse at that part of his game over the last couple of years.
He has got worse, but more in a regression to the mean I think. I think you could see in his first season that he had issues with his positioning, decision making, angles, technique etc. He was a 'good shot stopper' though, in that he had good reflexes and instincts. The problem is, that won't save you forever. There was always a pretty good chance that those shots he went at with the wrong hand but still saved would start creeping in, or his liking for just getting his hands behind the ball rather than his body would come back to haunt him. Part of it is being worked out, people identifying your flaws, and part of it is just that there's only so many times you'll get away with not knowing where your posts are before things start to unravel. It's like boxers who cruise through their first 20 fights and get bigged up as the next big thing and then suddenly get dismantled by the first person who hits them back. They haven't gone backwards, it's just that the weaknesses they always had get exposed.
 
His departure would be a great loss to this forum. He provides so much to get people worked up about. Davies, Siggy and innumerable other crap players are way behind him in the forum hit list. Rest assured, in 2 years he will be gone,hopefully after 8+ others have been shown the door.
 
Literally couldn’t have picked two worse examples. Go to bed.
Just got out of bed. You are in a minority on this forum if you rate Siggy and Davies as little more than a waste of space. Just saying like, but the general opinion seems to consolidate around the view that our midfield is priority for scrapping and starting again. Fix that area and we might get somewhere, then attend to the inadequacy of the goalkeeper. It will take time unfortunately and a lot on here sound like they have lost patience. Few would blame them.

He can’t aim his kicks properly because of the stupid flailing arms thing he does when he kicks it, he’s so off balance and has no control over the direction he’s kicking it. No idea why he does it unless it’s an attention thing, in which case I completely get it. Lad has serious issues.

Absolutely this 100%.

And the answer is that he does it for the cameras, attention seeking. No other goalkeeper in the league flails his arms about and follows through with their trailing leg the same way he does. In fact, no goalkeeper worth his salt in history would kick the ball like he does and it would never be taught to be done that way. Every other keeper in the league just kicks it normally.

He does it to make out like he's this amazing technical goalkeeper with his passing. It must be a faff trying to remember to do the action each time instead of just kicking it normally.

Was excited for his signing
Did well first season
Gotten worse as his everton career has gone on
Also realized what an unprofessional ***** he is personality wise through his antics here

Sadly isn’t the priority replacement because the rest of the squad is worse but will be glad to see the back of him someday
