I've also won West Wolverhamptons best Luke James, 38, dark hair, beer belly, size 9 feet, small sized penis award 2022.
Without wishing to push in here I won the Chair(wo)mans award for 2022 at Warwick Bridge Club for taking home the club laptop and uploading some new software. I appear to have got the job in the first place by being the youngest by about 15 years

All pisstaking aside, let's get behind the chap. Hopefully he's trained well recently, gets his sleep tonight, has three weetabixes in the morning and is raring to go tomorrow evening.

And magically developed the ability to pass the ball with his left foot.

To be fair, he can pass the ball with his left foot - just not to his own team mates.

Shite keepers have good games all the time. Granted, it's usually against us but you never know.

I'm at this stage now, rattling the rosarys and hoping for divine intervention.

I’m more concerned about his ability to read the situation and actually leave his six yard area to sweep up. I’m not sure if he knows he’s allowed outside of the box.

His anticipation of danger seems non existent.

He did ok in the Liverpool game.  Made a couple of good saves but we are just better with Emi in goal.

He did OK but looked nervous throughout and I wonder how much of that was picked up by the defenders.

He was far from poor today. Made some good saves. Can’t really say any of the goals were his fault.

Welcome back Emi

It's the little things. Crashing into Mings which lead to the corner and first goal.

Then when Young chested it back he was slow to react and it went out for another corner.

Did make some good saves but it's exactly like Nyland, defence is on edge when ball is played back to him compared to Emi who had that masterful assurance even before becoming a world cup winner.

Even for third goal I'm not sure he need to come sprinting out as we had enough defenders back to block a shot so just created confusion.

Hopefully he's fine for Spurs.

I’m afraid he was at fault indirectly for all the first two and directly for the 3rd. Don’t wish to pick on the guy, but he just lacks any presence at this level.

Thought he was a bit meh today and definitely should have done better for their third.

Needs replacing, fingers-crossed Emi stays fit and focused.
