Silly goalkeeping antics

[zak attack]

That Man City keeper would have had us kids laughing for a whole year back in the day. Why? Cos blunders like that were so rare you just wouldn't forget. These days you see something like that happen every week. It's completely beyond me why managers don't clamp down on vain keepers wanting to showcase their dribbling skills. Instead you have Pep saying "this can happen" when it shouldn't cos it's 100 percent easily avoidable if you whack the ball away in time.

It's the "way" to play modern football ,keepers are now expected to be sweepers ,ful! backs, wingers and most are just not good enough and hence the dire mistakes every week at every level. Yesterday Man shitty played 22 passes from a goal kick and got no further then the final pass to the goalie , who booted it out of play and they were still 3-1 down ,complete waste of time and completely boring football ,thank God Bart boots it down field,Swansea were very good at this type of play but could have been 2-0 with the early mistakes if we took them

Spot on, phil, most of the time they can't even reach the halfway line with their fancy build-up play from a keeper's ball, instead they get cornered in having to do tiki taka in their own penalty box. Whacking it upfield might lose you possession but at least it covers some valuable ground towards the other end.

Pep Guardiola was the manager that disposed of Joe Hart because he wanted a goalkeeper that could play in his own area.

Goalkeepers are in goal for a reason, same as Sunday football and school , the kid who couldn't play went in goal,
