The pressure on keepers these days to play like sure footed centre halves out and inside their own box is both ridiculous and needless. No wonder the kid ballsed up he should be under instruction on his debut, keep it simple and clear your lines at all times.

However as much as i said on Sat and stand by it that WBA would have been out of sight first half if Pears played the opposite is true tonight. If he'd been in goal as he should have been he probably doesn't concede that and it's a different game.

Again though don't blame the players it's just piss poor management at team and director level.

Who was the genius who first looked at their squad and said, “we should play our attack through you.” And pointed at his fucking keeper?
