Pepe Reina: Signs for Lazio

[Dazvillain]

Return flight tonight or more overtime money requested due to how busy he’ll be ?

[Toronto Villa]

He’ll be asking for a bonus for every ball he picks out of his own net.

[TheMalandro]

Welcome Pepe!

[cdbearsfan]

Better get practising picking the ball out of the net.

I think it was clear today why Nyland isn't up to it.

[PeterWithesShin]

I don't think many keepers are saving any of those today.

[Brassneck]

Just forced myself to re-watch the goals.

Apart from the first and possibly the last, there was nothing Nyland could have done.

Probably opens the door for Reina to start next week though.

[LukeJames]

I haven't seen any of the goals back but from were I was it looked like the 3rd went straight through his hands.

Was little different to Heaton being exposed in the Leicester game. He could've easily let in six that game despite being little at fault for the four that did go past him.

Thought Nyland should've tipped the first round the post and probably could've done better for the sixth but the others were too well placed.

Experienced keepers like Heaton and (hopefully) Reina are about more than saves, the they control their areas and by extension the defensive line, and furthermore the shape of the whole team if they're really good. Nyland made some very good saves, which is great, but I didn't see any of that kind of leadership.

Good point.

Heaton was exceptional in this respect.
