I thought we'd stopped conceding goals like this. Obvs not same old Everton Barry giving the ball away for the first.
I doubt that's you for today
Stekelenberg has performed well this season, but that said he's made at least three silly mistakes I can think of:
- WBA goal
- Boro goal
- Burnley goal
Those mistakes have cost us points. We'd have won against Burnley if he didn't tap the ball to their striker to score. Thankfully the other two mistakes didn't cost us any points in those games.
There's not really any excuse either for those kind of mistakes.
Robles came in from the cold and performed more than well enough against West Ham. We know he's also got a mistake in him, but we haven't seen one for a good while looking back into last season.
I'd give Robles a few games to try and prove himself.
We still need a top quality goalkeeper. Another giant fuq up from the summer, to go along with the rest of them.
He's also bailed us out a few times as well and was arguably best/2nd best player the 1st month. 8 goals total we've given up, and the while the D has been big reason, Stek has played a part in it too. Granted, Stek isn't a long term fix but he's been fine.
If we had unlimited money and went out and got say Lloris or DeGea we would have probably given up around the same amount of goals. They make mistakes too.
And there's another game he's cost us today. Pathetic attempt on both goals.The Boro goal: Negredo headed his arm
The Burnley goal: The ball took a deflection
