I thought he caught the ball well? It was his punching that was dodgy - but that’s not unexpected for an 18 year old goalkeeper.
I think on the whole, A league keepers are quite poor. You can spend some decent coin and get a fairly average goalkeeper like Vuka or Moss, or get young keepers who aren’t that much worse but have the potential to be better. I’d say he isn’t much worse than a few other keepers in the A league, and much cheaper. In a salary capped league I’d call that value gained.
He also didn’t have a bad game at all. That’s why I find it odd he is receiving so much negative attention for fairly minor flaws that he will improve on. I guess this makes him the new designated scapegoat with Lia gone.
