Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

I wouldn’t go too much on that .. bad defence gives you no confidence and even look at De Gea who’s had a number of poor games... it happens...

I am willing to give him every opportunity to prove himself given his early career form, however some of those long range shots that appeared to go right through him as if he wasn't there, are worrying.

You do wonder if he lost focus after dropping out the PL for a few seasons, and losing his England place. Maybe being back in the PL will give him renewed ambition.

He will never be a success at this club to many as he is not Speroni and even worse has the temerity to wear the hallowed No 1 shirt that some feel we should have retired after Speroni left. However good or bad he is is irrelevant.

However good or bad he is is irrelevant. Not sure about that. We have always supported our goalkeepers well and been fortunate to almost always have had a decent stopper between the sticks. I remember Speroni's first game after Kiralys decent spell and he had a mare, but the fans stuck with him and he became a favourite. Guaita is well liked and I think Butland will be too if he produces the goods. I hope he comes good because he will save us a fortune if he does.

Yes when Speroni first arrived he looked out of his depth hence we signed Gabor. But since then we have seen keepers such as McCarthy Mandanda and Henessey and possibly others come in and no matter what they did for some fans especially on here they could do nothing right. Equally look at the collective social media mutterings when shock horror we gave the number one shirt out again with fans suggesting either it should have been or some saying it actually had been retired. The phrase Speroni hater appearing on these boards if you either dared to suggest he had a bad game or indeed another keeper had a decent one. I just think for some the keeper role is totemic and they struggle to see it clearly - each having their own hero or villan.
