He is a great keeper, but by fuck he drops some howlers.

He hasn't really been great though for about 18 months, has he? He's been good in that time but no longer anywhere near the world's number one anymore. I think he is now replaceable.

Today's goal conceded was not just a mistake. It was totally inappropriate tomfoolery, one for the cameras, gone horribly wrong.

Don't rate him this season at all. He's had a really ropey 18 months, throw in the Man U debacle and I'd move him on this summer.

Thanks for the good times Emi, time to go in the summer, far too many howlers for a supposed top keeper.

Thought exactly the same watching Forest yesterday, where Dyche prefers Victor who’s currently crocked. 

Should have gone for Kelleher last summer.

Costly fumble today.  Wasn’t the toughest shot yet buggered the catch on a wet day.

The shot was a routine pre match warm up one. Not full length, get your hands on the ball and hold it. His effort was shite. His mind hasn't been there all season.

I'm not too sure what this means but no because I don't think he's shit and I won't be itching to get over to his thread after every game.

He doesn't seem to care as much, be as vocal with the team or show any leadership. And the sloppy mistakes have become too frequent.

The summer situation was odd, we had the tears at the end of last season, the open flirting with Man Yoo, the Palace game and then some world class saves mixed with rubbish errors.

He has a ginormous ego so I think the fans' indifference toward him these days probably has more of an impact on Emi than it does on others.

Actually think he's been better this season than last.

But it was a bad mistake tonight, as was Pau's.

Pau was a fuck up but could easily have been saved and not punished us  . Like people said trying to look good  for the camera but palm it off near the corner flag If you are doing it .

He has definitely been better than last season, I just don't think he is of the level anymore where I'll be really gutted if he goes. Saying that, maybe I should be worried after our summer recruitment.

He’s made some great saves this season, and not just inconsequential ones but ones that have won us points. Conversely he’s also started getting stuff that should be basic wrong, and that’s cost us goals. Crosses under the bar and today’s goal come to mind. I think he probably nets out positive at the moment, but he needs to cut the sloppy stuff out.
