There once was a kid from Toronto...
"Come on, we can't even score a one goal"
He looked shell shocked."Come on, we can't even score a one goal"
Course you can blame him. Most goals have a number of mistakes by the defending team, some big and some small. Maguire's error doesn't mean he wasn't at fault too. No keeper should get better from that distance by a shot so central. It's the kind of shot he'd save with his feet at his best.Can't blame him for that one. The defence should've stopped the attack long before it got to that stage and Maguire just let him shoot without trying to close him down. Anything hard and low would skid off the surface, as it did.
It's hardly a surprise that you interpret it that way, given your general ability to analyze situations.Another error for me, that shot was far too central and shouldn't have gone in.

It's a fair point that his view was blocked but I'm curious as to why you find that funny. DDG is one of the best about at saving shots with his feet where other keepers would dive.
Because the ball isn't close enough to his body that he'd get his foot anywhere near the ball.It's a fair point that his view was blocked but I'm curious as to why you find that funny. DDG is one of the best about at saving shots with his feet where other keepers would dive.
Watching the live action replay, it looks like he's plenty close enough. I will concede that the angles could be playing trick because there's no view square from the back of the goal. Do the stills from where he's stood initially before the ball is struck and where it went in the net. The thing about saving with your feet is that you can stretch and dive pretty far with out wasting the time it takes to dive down.Because the ball isn't close enough to his body that he'd get his foot anywhere near the ball.

If you watch the angles straight towards De Gea or straight behind him, it's pretty obvious that he's never getting anywhere near that with his leg from where he's standing when he sees the ball, not to mention his feeting due to constantly adjusting his position. No way.Watching the live action replay, it looks like he's plenty close enough. I will concede that the angles could be playing trick.

Fair enough, perhaps I was being a little harsh on him. Watched back some of his feet saves too and he doesn't dive into them all that much.
I agree. Not at fault. But possibly could have been a save of the season which on a different he might have been able to make.
We already wereInjured tonight.
FFS. We're fecked for the Liverpool game this weekend.
Probably the least of our worries. He's the one player where we've got a good replacement to come in. We're fecked either way, but its not like its Roy Carroll replacing him.Injured tonight.

Oh, the humanity! Those were the days.Probably the least of our worries. He's the one player where we've got a good replacement to come in. We're fecked either way, but its not like its Roy Carroll replacing him.
Its amazing Romero has stayed with us for so long. He's definitely good enough to be the number one for a top European team.Romero is quality anyway, if we lose I doubt itll be because of a goalkeeping mistake.
It's not about a mistake. Defenders are definitely more mentally comfortable with De Gea behind them. De Gea also makes saves that keepers shouldn't often save and he excells 1v1 which is a chance we're sure to concede against Liverpool so whilst Romero might concede a goal or goals that isn't his fault at all those could be goals that De Gea was more likely to save. Not to mention Romero hasn't played much at all.Romero is quality anyway, if we lose I doubt itll be because of a goalkeeping mistake.
What matches have you been watching??Not much of a loss really at the moment. He's the one person we can afford an injury to.
And if we do lose due to a goalkeeping mistake, it’ll mean we actually played well enough to be close to liverpool. Win-winRomero is quality anyway, if we lose I doubt itll be because of a goalkeeping mistake.
