He had a good Cup Final and showed how good he is in the air anticipating crosses and in doing so took a lot
of pressure off our central defenders.I believe that our young
keeper had previously tired
of Mertesackers frailties i.e.
lack of pace, poor defensive heading and constantly ducking away from the ball at last moments.Hence his rather rash and angry attempt to tackle outfield against Southampton to make a pretty futile point Must be a nightmare to
play behind that guy.
I fail to see how complaining that your players
lack character and aren't good enough, that the transfer policy has left you with a poor «mish - mash» squad
of players, and that your
keeper will have to
play against Manchester United (despite not being good enough) is going to help Spurs improve results.
