The rumours that were abounding regarding Eriksson in training while Siegrist was still here are unfortunately proving to be true IMO. He can’t catch the ball, comes for crosses he should leave and leaves crosses he should come for, he can’t pass the ball, his positioning is hopeless and yes he’s a decent shot stopper - but there’s the rub, shot stopper. He palms the ball away every.single.time. Often back in to dangerous areas.

I have no doubt this is affecting the back 4/5. They’re not just worrying about what’s in front of them, I suspect strongly they’re also worrying about what’s behind them as well. And it’s making us in to nervous wrecks at the back as a result. It’s Newman in for me - at the very least he can’t be any worse.

In fairness both their goals on Saturday had absolutely nothing to do with the keeper. Just poor defending from the defenders then midfielders.
