why did we sell Kovar to bring this guy in? Never fully understood the rationale. Was it PSR or whatever related?

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

I swear to God he is against us.

I think PSR was part of it, the other part was that Kovar wanted to leave to fight for a starting spot at Leverkusen and we weren't going to stand in his way.

Ah, thanks for the answer.

I'm in a position where I don't trust any of our keepers. Feels bad

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.

I don't really agree with that, as a player you can't really do much about it when the ref ignores you being blatantly fouled in such a way that prevents you from doing whatever you were going to do.

Bayendir would most likely easily have caught the ball with 2 hands if one of them hadn't been hooked mid jump.

Didn't cover himself in any glory with the other Spurs goals, but the last one really wasn't on him at all.

Kovář asked for the transfer (multiple times — he asked to leave for Sparta Prague as well). Ten Hag didn't really rotate keepers even in the cups so the perspective of being an actual reserve keeper (instead of a token name on the bench) for Leverkusen seemed more appealing, I guess.

 

[golden_blunder]

Oh dear

 

[Varane around town]

Dodgy isn't he?

 

[Baneofthegame]

Don’t think I’ll complain about Onana, even though the fourth goal was definitely a foul.

From the European land of hair and can't even grow a full beard.

You havent seen Kovar played, have you? He is miles, miles away from premier league standard.

 

[OverratedOpinion]

It's amazing that Forster conspired to actually be the worst keeper on the pitch today.

 

[klayton88]

I was willing to look past the sideburns if he was a half decent keeper but they are simply unacceptable.

I don't know about that. A Premier League keeper conceding from a corner kick. Fecking hell. Come back Onana all is forgiven.

 

[Bwuk]

Move him on and get a different back up. I don’t even rate Onana highly but we’d be fecked if we had to rely on Bayinder.

To surmise that the suggestion was that "he's premier league standard", after a cup game and from the Bayindir thread, sure is something.

I have seen Kovar play, and I think he's better than Bayindir

 

[Shane88]

That blunder compilation that was going around social media when we signed him seems about right.

The first goal was atrocious. It's coming at him centrally from 30 yards and he still makes a balls of it.

 

[Thom Merrilin]

I don't really get the uproar about his performance. He should've done better for the first goal but Yoro and the other defenders were culpable as well, aside from that I didn't see any mistakes except for a few inaccurate long balls.

 

[elmo]

One of the only times where ETH was justified in not playing someone.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

It's a long time since the days of Sergio Romero...

And yes he probably was fouled on the 4th, but at the same time, I honestly don't think he'd have saved it even if he hadn't been "impeded"

 

[Eugenius]

He let in a corner.

 

[André Dominguez]

Rúben did the "classic" thing that is kinda usual in portuguese top clubs: cup games are games for the substitute keeper to get game time on case he is called to action.
Unfortunately this also shown that if Onana gets sick, or worse, injuries, we might be in a bad place at our goal.

 

[AaronRedDevil]

We had the greatest backup keeper ever to this guy. Romero was a rock for us.

 

[JB08]

Thought he was great last night.

 

[hasanejaz88]

Not going to blame him for Son's goal at all. It was clearly a foul by Bergvall and would've been recalled by VAR, had it been available. He would've cleared the ball had Bergvall not pulled them down with his hands.

The first goal wasn't a howler. The ball came through a lot of bodies and yes he should've done better to clear it away from danger but it wasn't a horrible mistake.
