On a positive note, at least we now know we need a new keeper.
 
The goal wasn't at all his fault, he went to catch the ball with both hands, and was quite obviously impeded when that blond Spurs player hooked his left arm.

The "went for it with his right hand" narrative is nonsense, that's just the only hand he had free as the other one was impeded.
 
Did we really need to give him a go? I mean, already so many changes, tough opponent away... Seems like this rotation is a bit overkill.
No we didnt. Our coaching stuff must know he isn't up to this level. It was stupid to play him. We need to sign a better backup asap.
 
shyte, but not surprised. he's never even played for us in the league, right? nor in CL. whatever was his level before, it's pretty much gone after sitting on the bench for so long. not everyone is Romero.
 
Not close to the level needed for a premier league club, amateur. No need to be nasty but I hope we don't see him play again for the club, nowhere near level required.
 
Why did we sign this fella? We already had Tom Heaton when we bought him and our #1 always plays. Not seen anything to suggest he's made for English football.
 
How much did he cost and how much can we get for him?

feck me.

Pretty sure that was known, tonight was extra bad but he has looked poor in his other limited appearances and was woeful when he played for Turkey at the Euros. There was a story a week or two back stating he could be allowed to leave in January and honestly if we could find anyone willing to take him it would be fine by me. Heaton can cover number 2 until the summer and in a pinch we can utilize one of the younger lads as 3rd choice.
 
Going from Sergio Romero to this guy is a pretty downgrade.
 
Surely we have a lad in the under 12's who is better than him? Shite.
 
Kovar was looking good in preseason under ten hag and we go and sign him.
Surely this is corruption
 
He wouldn't play for a Championship club. Absolutely awful.
 
The problem is he plays a game now and then so lacks match sharpness. Other teams field their GKs in cup games and Amorim clearly understands that. Still personally baffled we let Kovar go as he should have been our number 2.
 
Always had the feeling he’d be a bit pants. I know it’s hard to barely play for your club and be expected to step up but that’s what a backup is. Would rather Heaton.

I don't think it's a sharpness issue, he's just really naff.

That was PSR.

Kovar was an Acadamy lad and so the fee was pure profit and with amoritization Altay is only costing around 1M per season. It freed up around 5M towards financial compliance which we met by the skin of our teeth, a classic case of PSR causing clubs to make decisions for anything but football reasons. Vitek is getting good experience on loan this season and I don't see why he can't be considered for the backup keeper role next year whilst we address more pressing needs.
 
Ridiculous transfer the guy. I don't know what the hell we were doing in the market the last few years.

No one new knew he’s this shite:lol: If he didn’t start we would never know, he would hide till eternity and we’d think we got a semi decent keeper on the bench. Now we know so respectfully sell this fraud.
 
Don't see much wrong with the goal, he missed the flight of the ball completely and then cried about it. 2 shocking basic errors.
 
Fenerbahce fans were happy when this lad left for a reason.

Some fans that were asking for him to come in and drop Onana are laughable.
 
Sell.

I remember reading a few Turkish sources saying he's very below average.
 
I'm all for criticizing ETH's eye for talent (or lack thereof), but I don't think this one had much at all to do with him.
 
Spurs away isn't a good game to start after almost a season in hiatus.
 
Even Taibi and Goram played better, let alone such legends as Van der Gouw

The truth can be more complicated than that. It was a clear foul and the goal shouldn't have stood. But he also should do better, as a keeper you can't give the referee a chance of making the mistake given how inconsistent (well, how shit) they've been... especially on the corners recently.
