Sticking to my guns here re Pears.. I have nothing against him as a person, but as a player, he is nothing but a capable backup goalkeeper.. if anybody thinks he is a number 1, then have your heads checked
Yes, the defence could have handled both goals better, but that doesn't mean that Pears couldn't have done better. Both he was again rooted to the spot, where a goalkeeper would be alot more commanding. Rather come out, and get beat, than standing in the middle of nowhere and allow the attacker an easy choice of where to put the ball. As a goalkeeper, you make it as difficult for the attacking player as you can.
Remember this guys, having a competent goalkeeper, could save you plenty of points. Having a poor defense and a sub standard goalkeeper, isnt what we need right now. Either we fix the defensive lapses, or we see what Wahlstedt or another keeper can do.
