It's not entirely the goalkeeping coaches' fault for the sub-average form of our 2 goalkeepers, a lot of the blame has to go towards the Defenders in front of him, and in turn their coaching. A goalie is only as good as the men in front of him allow him to be.

Mandanda started off positively and made some great saves. He gave us that moment of what Jules was trying to do all those years ago with the ball at his feet. Since then though, with our change of style to passing the ball out - which will always lead to mixups whilst getting used to the system (ideally minimised by GOOD coaching, I might add) and a number of individual mistakes in front of him, has lead to his dip in form.

A sports coach should be in shape enough to move around a pitch without breaking sweat, or making the guys he's meant to be training wait for him to get into position. It hardly breeds confidence seeing someone not practising what they're preaching. Alternatively, if he's all about mentality, he should have a small group of younger coaches helping him with the physical side of what he's trying to get across. Unfortunately, this 'mentality' side of his coaching hasn't got into Waynes head.

If I can't blame the coach, who do I blame for being unable to get rid of that nervous twitch of Hennesseys where every free-kick outside the box looks like it will go in after he takes his OCD step in the wrong direction. Or help improve his distribution, presence, or decision making? It's down to coaching, and we've had the same goalie making the same mistakes week in, week out.

As for BFC, he doesn't have to physically kick a ball, whereas the coaches below him do, so they should be fit enough to do so.

Mandanda has made 9 appearances for us, a player who has been Captain for his previous club for years, and yet people are giving up on him for having constructive criticism about our coaching methods, in a team that has precisely ZERO leaders on the pitch.

Is it strictly necessary to refer to the Palace manager as a Big Fat C*nt? That's the sort of thing one expects to read on NSC

Aside from his mistake at Burnley, what has Mandanda actually done that gets him such a bad reputation from fans? I think it's very typically "palace" to write off a player that's only played 10 games for us.

As someone mentioned above, he's playing behind a back four that's low in confidence, and a team that has zero direction at the moment. When you add the fact that foreign players usually take a while to settle anyway, I'm not really sure what people expect from Mandanda?
