joondalupjambo Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Celtic win today and we are only 3 points behind Killie and 4 behind the Sheep, still plenty of time to catch them both. Oh and Motherwell go ahead of Hibs today whihc has to be ok. Always look on the bright side I guess,. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference in ability should have removed the risk of making such a mistake. It didn’t so it might be argued that mistakes are in all keepers irrespective of ability. The post was about selective memory (as are the threads about Best/Worst players) and that all keepers make mistakes that cost goals. That said, I don’t remember the same level of criticism for Gordon after that game. An outfield player makes a poor choice or a blunder and it is quickly forgotten but a keeper will have to live with his mistakes for some considerable time.

gowestjambo Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Yet another disjointed performance, this group of players should be capable of better. Our tactics of hoofing the ball to Uche was so predictable. To play a back 3 when Motherwell had two direct fast wingers, was asking for trouble. Berra is a shadow of the Player he was previously. Another opportiunity to make up ground lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All keepers do make mistakes, even the best and when it happens the consequences are often dire. But I think why Doyle is getting such a hard time compared to Gordon is that with Gordon it was seen as one of those mistakes that happens despite his talent whereas for Doyle, it's something people felt was coming and confirms their fears that he isn't good enough.

If Doyle doesn’t make that error I suspect most people would have been saying “decent point away from home against the most in-form team in the league but we had plenty opportunities to win it” On the very rare occasions we do actually play well you must think you’re watching Brazil if you think today was a good performance. Lets just remember we were playing Motherwell today, a bottom 6 team. Yes, they had won their last 5 games but iirc all against fellow bottom 6 teams, but still managed to get pumped at home to Ross County during that run. It’s not like they’ve been beating Juve, Barca, etc. Bottom line, Motherwell are pish. We’re a bit less pish, that’s why we’re above them but still hanging around in mid table mediocrity, which is where we will finish this season. We’ve got far too many fans willing to accept mediocrity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I went through today having taken in yesterday's results with thoughts that we could make up 2 points on clubs above us. It was difficult walking away from that game knowing that rather than making up ground we ended up effectively being a further point behind those who had drawn yesterday. We certainly did nowhere near enough to win today, but I think a draw would have been a fair result, as it was too poor teams who were in contention today. It was unfortunate that the game was decided on a goalkeeping howler, as Doyle had played well up until the easiest thing he had to do all day blew up in his face. Nobody stood out today, but there were some disappointments. Mulraney was the starting point, his poor pass (not the first nor the last) formed the basis of their opening goal. It was compounded by Christophe Berra continually backing off their player as he got near our box. I thought Christophe was very poor today. I've thought he has looked unfir since he came back into the team after injury, but in most games he has got pass marks because he has continued to be strong in the air. Today against a team who kept the ball on the ground he just couldn't cope. We need to turn it round in style next week versus St Mirren and follow it up with a win at Firhill.

I’m not clear on what basis people felt a mistake ‘was coming’. His record since getting the first team gig has been pretty good and his handling, positioning and reading of the game have all been fine. His main faults, from my (Gorgie Stand) perspective, are that he is often slow to recycle the ball and he isn’t as vocal as McLaughlin when it comes to managing those in front of him.
