Joel Robles

[Joey66]

we wouldn't have got anywhere near the semi's if it wasn't for robles.

i just liked how city lumped the ball forward and jagielka lost it in the flight and aguero had nipped ahead of him ... it was carbon copy of costa's goal ... but this time we had a keeper who'd reacted and he was 20 yards out of his goal and calmly headed to a defender.

We have a crap defence who won't come good overnight, but they'd be massively more confident with robles behind than howard for the rest of the season.

20 seconds in and stones passed it back to him despite not being under pressure from anyone, last 4 or 5 games, he's attempted 2 or 3 cryuff turns whilst under pressure instead of giving it to howard.

Spot on it was further out too - let's face it we were undone by another deflection and a ball which was six inches out of play from the cross Atkingson gave them everything the added time was short also!
Robles made two very good saves to with his hands too!

It was the highlight of the game for me seeing a competent goal keeper being decisive, instead of waiting for a gaff.

 

[WarringtonBlue]

Amazing point blank from Silva. Thought that was a goal

 

[MartSlinger]

Had a good game the lad.
Shame he'll be dropped next Wednesday and Howard will make an error.

Should be given the number 1 spot

 

[CynicalBlue]

Give him a run of league games to show his worth, if it doesn't work out ship the pair of them out in the summer, along with some shadows we call players.

Thought he was pretty good tonight, good kicking, great save from the Silva follow up when Aguero hit the post. Both crosses should have been defended better by the players in front of him; McCarthy just turns away from De Bruyne for the third.

Should Of picked him up and body slammed

 

[Huyton Layne]

Do feel bad for him about that. Player goes down near the end of a game from what looks like an innocuous challenge and you're gonna fume.

They'd been diving and whinging all game, like. Boy who cried wolf for me; I was screaming at the tele along with Joel when KDB went down.

 

[CynicalBlue]

I'm sure Joel won't lose any sleep over the incident as he can be excused for accusing a modern day player of feigning injury.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

should be first choice goalie.

Won't be though.

Shame as I'd gain some respect back for Martinez.

He won't be no.

But he did everything he could right today.
