He has made a few errors, and flapped at some crosses lately. True enough. But let's look at your points. He's conceded 4 goals from direct free kicks. 2 by Nakamura, one by Leighton Baines, one other I can't recall. 4 from several dozen free kicks. So that's %@#$&!s. His positioning is flawless. His reactions are average. Not as fast as Foster, faster than someone like Mark Schwarzer. He's one of the best kickers of a ball I've ever seen, with either foot, and no matter how poor the backpass. So other than that, your points are valid. |

don't make me list all the goals he has been DIRECTLY to blame for this season, anyway there probably isn't enough room on this thread, but it's at least 15
his positioning for their second goal yesterday was a joke and his positioning at Pompey for their second...well I don't need to tell you other games where he has cost us this season are Newcastle (a), West Ham (a), and Chelsea (h)...he has made other mistakes that haven't cost us and he is shot to pieces the way Barthez was before we got rid |

He's been at fault for, at most, 6 or 7 goals this season. If you're putting down Fernandes' goal as a goalkeeping error, then naturally you'll be blaming him for dozens of others that are also not his fault. |

Why was VDS to blame at West Ham, I seem to remember Rio #@&%!ing up with his marking. To jump on VDS's back now is beyond me, he's been class since we signed him. Yes he's looked unsettled lately but we've changed that back four so often over the last few months. Remind me of what Happened for Paul Robinson's goal against Watford? |

I think Foster's the better keeper at this stage.
I've no doubt he'll make the odd mistake but the word I'd use to describe VDS right now is "wobbly". He seems to go down in slow motion for the simplest shot. We should remember what age VDS is, its that moment when you go from "experienced" to "a little too experienced". Foster looks the business to me and has the ability to pull off unreal saves of the sort that can really intimidate opposition forwards and win you a lot of points over a season. I wouldn't be upset to see VDS start as No. 1 next year, I just think he's more in the Van Der Gouw territory now than the Schmeichel. |

VDS made 2 top drawer saves at Fulham that won us the game.
He made 2 top class saves at pompey that kept the score down, blame the forwards that day. Had yesterdays 1st goal covered till Carrick stuck his foot out and had a hand to taht. 2nd Everton goal, no keeper would have had that. Overall, he has won us more games this season than he has lost us. You remember the istakes, yet you dont remember the saves, its a goalkeepers way. |
