If you won't catch it in your own 6 yard box, at least don't punch it to the opposition on the edge of the area and sustain the attack. Don't think I've ever seen someone go round a goalie so easily vs Leipzig, but maybe this one is harsh. Getting done at your near post from this angle vs Swindon is a sin. Going for a walk vs Saints, which was similar to what he did to get City knocked out of the Cup the season prior against Chelsea, where he just gives up a square ball for a tap in. What the *** vs Liverpool. I think he should do better for all goals in this game too. ------------------------------------------ So someone posted this on reddit.. How he has so many mistakes with so little game time is actually alarming. Imagine being so desperate to discredit a signing to go and seek out any tiny little thing they could find to criticise him, most of which are behaviours you'll see from every keeper at one time or another. That's embarassing. (The original post, not you posting it here) 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

LBP 3,035 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Graeme Bailey @GraemeBailey 19h Understand Middlesbrough have agreed a deal with Arsenal for Emile Smith Rowe. Boro have been looking for a new number ten and they have landed a very good one in the English playmaker. @90min_Football 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites

smogsterking the Inspirati 2,490 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Ah had me going there for a sec and now I'm disappointed in any transfer activity we have having thought we pulled off the signing of the summer for this level 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Think at this point well just want his wages off the books so will be looking to give him away on a free. I know it's not the best thing to go by, but football manager has akpom on about 30k a week - they don't tend to be too far off Link to post Share on other sites

Can't say I'd be overly fussed if he did, though I'd obviously prefer extra money for transfers. Link to post Share on other sites

So he's essentially slap bang average at shot stopping, compare that to Lumley's this season of -6 and it's a vast improvement. Then on top of that he'll be conceding fewer goals as a sweeper with his better ability to run off his line as well as indirectly through better distribution: the more (and the better quality) of possession we have the less likely we are to concede and the more likely we are to score. Was sick of Lumley punting it long to a 5ft6 Striker or just straight out of play.it’s worth remembering that The stats are not directly comparable as they’re from different leagues. It’s also worth remembering these stats are not from the same league. ZS has much better stats, and has been doing so at a much higher level. He had the 2nd highest number of saves when in Germany. He’s been training with world class players for years. He’s an international starter, ahead of a player Arsenal have just spent 6m on. The only genuine criticism I’ve seen so far is that he’s injury prone. That is a worry, but we’ve also supposedly got a decent number 2 now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
