He's not shit.
We paid £7m for a keeper who is no better than Nyland. We've got five keepers at the club and they're all shit.
Kalinic will be fine long term for us. Will help once we actually have something of a defence in front of him
A shot got under him. It happens. Of more concern was Bowen, 10 yards out and where you'd expect a player to score, utterly unmarked.If you're letting the opposition have a free hand like that you're going to concede.
He’s an upgrade on Nyland but has made some simple mistakes time will tell
Sam Johnstone would look no different than Kalinic behind that defence. We are all over the place at the back. That starts with Chester who needs a solid defender and organizer next to him. Chester is an ok number two, but between having lost a partner in AT he was developing a relationship with, playing on the left, trying to be captain, having his own form issues, injuries and having to contend with two of the worst full backs imaginable is it any wonder he’s regressed along with our defence overall.

Doubts start to creep in and that indecision can be very costly. To be honest, we've probably had the worst of both worlds this season where the keeper can't trust the defence and vice versa.
