The goalie has done ok for what he's had to do, which is very little in most matches. Rafa could have changed things up with what he had at his disposal but chose not to.
By all means argue it differently.

He chose to play that way because he was over cautious and got stumped for it. Playing Joselu when he had other options was bordering on mental.

One man to blame and that was Rafa.
He's getting it right but he was to blame earlier on as far as I'm concerned. You can think what you want to but you won't change my earlier thoughts.
