They are there for when the defence fails. That is why the best teams have the best keepers...

I concur. GK could have done better?

Does that distribution earn us over 10 points over a season to cover the points his Weetabix and kamikaze decision making costs us?

Worth a shot. Different circumstances but I think Leicester would up of have stayed up with Cooper in charge and been relegated had Maresca remained in charge had he not gone to Chelsea.

I forgot about the personal issues tbf. He still stunk the place out though admittedly over a shorter time period. Hull Away sticks in my memory.

Granted but none the less Colin's and Moore were/are shot to bits confidence wise. Colins was nowhere as bad as this last season.

His save percentage was low the season he got dropped for Wilson, down at the 50% mark. He was belting up until Christmas tho (first season back).

First half or two thirds, he was ropey at the end and as bad as Collins has been this season. Colins has also regressed, maybe it's coaching?

Some of the earlier examples look as if he is trying not to save the ball, I swear he pulls his hand away from a few of those.

Post then. I'm thinking the era with Hleb, Fabregas et Al. Though a fully fit and on form Sheaf could fill that role... he's doesn't and will never have that steel tho.

Ole ole!

They'd still probably score if they did that tbf.

I dunno, I caught a bit of one off their recent wins. The place was like a morgue. That or my speaker is fubar.

If they get 10 shots on target, based on Collins's starts we'd concede 5. If I was their manager I would be urging them to shoot on site.

Doesn't help that we largely play a 2 in the middle, gaps everywhere against Plymouth. West Brom we looked compact enough in the middle with Shaef and Grimes working well together to close down space, very similar to Allen and Grimes against Sunderland. In both those games the oppo were fairly...

Its been close all season right? I'm sure it must have been nip and tuck!

Dorking were top for ages weren't they?

Yea, something Pep has always had outside of his first season at City. Fast direct forwards seem to becoming more in vogue which is good!

One full back creating an overload should be easily covered, even away from home! I do think MVE and JDS have been asked to take up more central positions in the build up, they pop up in CM more often in recent times it seems.

Probably a little bit, it doesn't help that Manchester City now don't have the best players in the league from back to front anymore, so many of them seemingly went over the hill in about the space of a month! PSR may prevent them from basically buying a new team over one window too which is nice!
