He's caught a few where he's been clattered, but he is a European goalkeeper, so he'll have grown up punching first, it's a tough habit to break. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
AnglianRed 6,229 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) God I hope the rest of the half isn't going to be like this. Not sure my nerves can take it. Woeful kick into touch by Stojanovich...something else he needs to work on. Link to post Share on other sites

Doesnt have to be broken, top keepers know when to punch and when to catch, both are valuable skills - not sure why english football is the only league where its looked down on. I think hes made the right decision the majority of times. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I'd be considering replacing Spence with shotton. I dont like shotton and all but spence has gotten everything wrong in the last 10 mins. Link to post Share on other sites
RiseAgainst 3,777 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Clinton Morrison on SSN keeps talking about Stockovic. Is it too much to at least attempt the correct pronunciation, Clinton? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think hes made the right decision the majority of times. I agree in general, although European goalkeepers do have more of a tendency to punch even when they could catch it. Only once have I thought Dejan punching was the wrong idea though. Link to post Share on other sites

AnglianRed 6,229 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Stoke definitely having the better of the half so far. They're looking like the home side now. Boro looking very reactive and a bit panicky at times. Sliding back into recent habits? Link to post Share on other sites

Even so, the first half has given me confidence I haven't felt since Luton on the opening day of the season. Give Warnock a fortnight to drill the players, and we should be able to beat any bottom-half team. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
