Freddie Woodman

[irnbru1903]

Woodman's kicking is atrocious. He does not command his penalty box, does not communicate with his defenders, stays rooted to his goal line and rarely catches the ball. All sounds very familiar but hey even Clangers got a Scotland call up at some point. Rodgers must be really honking in training if he is not even getting a chance to prove himself in the face of such mediocrity.

I've no problem with 'keepers staying on their line and letting the defenders take on the physical stuff, but there has to be decisiveness. He came off his line for Forrest's cross last week, and completely missed it, a really stupid call and action. Whilst not exonerating Arnason for failing to challenge the Tim striker, the 'keeper's presumed shout and movement from his line is a signal that he is 100% confident of taking/punching out the cross. Leighton and Theo were under strict instruction to stay on their line and let 6 and McLeish deal with the nasty stuff outside the 6 yard box, unless they were certain that they had crosses covered.

Woodgate now inspires no confidence from those in front of him as a result. "Fit the ****'s he going to dee next?" is a poor basis for building confidence between the centre halves and the 'keeper.

Take a bow son! To save 3 of 4 penalties is a good effort.

Saved 3 of 5 I think.

Not too impressed by him BUT did say before kicks started that I thought we would win cos he would save a couple at least. Proved right for once. Very rare.
