That thoughtless Rafa

[waalsendmick]

I stated clearly on more than one thread that both Elliot and Darlow are very good shot stoppers. but people can be fooled in to thinking a good shot stopper is a great keeper.

the very best keepers make less saves, because their organisation and decision making reduces the chances the opponents create.

on that score, yesterday was a good start.

I can only guess, we would've been 6 or 7 points better off if we had signed Reina in the summer, and another 6 or 7 if we had got the striker Rafa wanted before we had to settle for Hosses Poo.

we have a great manager who is undermined by a business man with a penchant for free advertising.

if only..........

Nobody thought Elliot and Darlow were great keepers.
