Big Ben Foster
Correctly predicted Portugal to win Euro 2016
He was fine. Hard to judge his ability based on a match against Newport, but can't complain about the performance.
He didn’t need to.He didn’t set the world alight today. Ok performance
Onana gets crucified every time we concede a goal whether it’s preventable or not is what he’s saying and it’s true.That's my point, though. No one will crucify him because none of the goals were his fault. Onana get's criticism because of his consistent bad form and mistakes.

Ah, don't spend much time in the Onana thread do you?That's my point, though. No one will crucify him because none of the goals were his fault. Onana get's criticism because of his consistent bad form and mistakes.
When did he look dodgy with his feet? Dealt with everything very well.Ah, don't spend much time in the Onana thread do you?
Decent performance, some good claims and saves. Looks a bit dodgy with the ball at his feet though.
It’s very true even the media does it.It's not true at all.
Why?Good to see him get a game today, he did ok but im sure if Onana had have conceeded any of those 2 goals he'd have been crusified.
Passing choices and execution didn't look good, came close to giving the ball away a couple of times with it and looked rushed at other times under a bit of pressure.When did he look dodgy with his feet? Dealt with everything very well.
Why?
The first goal was a humdinger that took a deflection off Martinez and the second was Varane's to stop.
More of a stable presence than Onana, but he is ropey as hell with his feet. Against an elite pressing team, we would have conceded a chance from playing back to him.
Absolutely. We do this constantly in here with our players. Decisions, passes, finishes, tackles that would be absolutely fine from an opposition player are seized on as evidence of incompetence. He was good with the ball at his feet.Feck I thought he was very good with his feet. A few passes looked a bit risky but if it was Ederson or Allison doing it we'd trust they knew what they were doing. It's how I want us to play trusting players technical ability to get out of tight spots. If it was McTominay or Maguire rather than Martinez or Shaw I wouldn't be encouraging playing out to
Not sure, I thought they were great passes and well weighted but those types are always going to be risky, it's the nature of them.Passing choices and execution didn't look good, came close to giving the ball away a couple of times with it and looked rushed at other times under a bit of pressure.
Agree, but at least he doesn't instil a sense of 'omg what's gonna happen next' as Onana does.Nothing he could have done with the first. Almost nothing he could have done with second.
Other than that he had very little to do.
I mean we were playing against League Two opposition...Agree, but at least he doesn't instil a sense of 'omg what's gonna happen next' as Onana does.
His passing under no pressure was fine, but his touch and passing under pressure was ropey.Feck I thought he was very good with his feet.

Agreed. Don't think we can learn too much from this tbh, beyond the fact that we probably need a new keeper in the summer.His passing under no pressure was fine, but his touch and passing under pressure was ropey.
Great effort for a goal that we conceded. This is where we are at.but his full length dive for the first one demonstrated his athleticism
He’s miles better than Onana - he moves like an actual goalkeeper for starters.
Did quite alright. Looks a bit nervous on the ball when under pressure, but I like that he looks like a goalkeeper: lean, very tall and moves and jumps like goalkeeper.
It's only fair and well deserved he gets to play in the next game vs Wolves.
