If he has a weakness :cool: it is his wild distribution. Why does he not throw the ball to a player on the half way line, instead of those huge kicks? Someone should have a word. I wonder to what extent goalkeepers "do their own thing", unlike outfielders who play to a pattern dictated to them?
 

All goalkeepers are a bit unhinged - if they are any good, that is. The best goalkeeper we ever had was as mad as a box of frogs.
All goalkeepers make mistakes, even the much-lauded Alysson, Ederson, De Gea, Schmeichel. All outfield players make mistakes but keepers' mistakes are generally more noticeable and critical. Hence they make easy targets for all us armchair super-pundits.

least of his worries, he now has the lowest save % in the league and only deGea ahead of him in errors leading to goals, yes keepers need to be on edge but his confidence is nowhere near aligned to his ability. He is a bad goalkeeper end of
 
The dive for that free-kick was quite ridiculous. He just loves chucking himself through the air. Bet he goes "geronimoooooo" in his head.

Plus he'd have been nowhere near it if it was a yard lower.
