He's available for a good reason, has to be one the most vastly overrated goakeepers in the history of the game.Back to Joe he did himself no harm over the past week in two important games, he needed that hope it gives him a big boost.

It's worth noting that although he hasn't copped any flack for the goal conceded, Joe gave himself no chance of making a save. He got in a great position for the bicycle kick, but because his weight was on his heels, he couldn't move. This is evidenced by his backwards movement after the goal was scored.
I doubt any keeper would have made the save, but it's another example of his poor concentration.

Exactly. I thought he is making an effort here and half way through he didn't make any attempt to save it even if he couldn't. Lost count how many times he's done that

Didn't really fault him for the goal, which came because Garcia was the wrong side of his man. Overall, though I thought he looked a little jumpy and lacking in confidence throughout the game - there were a couple of times he seemed reluctant to come and claim a ball when the defender was doing his job in blocking off an attacker. More worrying is any real improvement in his starting position at corners - he wants to pre-position himself where he thinks the ball is going to come, is consequently too easy to block and gets stuck under the ball when it does arrive, trying to jump from a standing position with his arms already in the raised position. The very best keepers start from a deeper position and can create some momentum with a run to attack the ball at the highest point possible. One wonders what the coaches are doing to rectify a long-standing weakness in Joe's technique.

Also spent a couple of corner kicks with concentrating on pushing Nolan instead of focusing solely on what was going on around him. What's up with this shoving? Am I missing something here or is this weird?
"I used to be 6 foot 2 with curly hair, look what it's done to me"
"In my career so far it's the most important goal. You score the goal in the last minute to win the title. You're not sure if that's ever going to happen in your career again. I wish I could tell you how I did it but I can't. I thought for all the world that Mario was going to have a go himself but he just moved it on one more and it fell at my feet and I just thought: 'Hit the target, hit it as hard as you can and hit the target.' And it went in."

The second Nolan pushes back its a free kick so maybe he was trying to bait him?

agreed. flapping at simple balls into the box and charging off his line into no man's land. still not good enough, imo. his lack of confidence is infectious for our back line.

I never said he does it every time, but you must be blind if you cant see some of his half arsed attempts to save some he has conceded. It's a fact he's not been great these last 18 months. That long shot against everton last season and the scuffed Shrek goal that come to mind instantly.

I said last season so that's two games to chiose from. Sure you can find it. He makes no attempt to save it and because it was against us the commentators and presses creamed themselves over it.
