He's made a couple of saves during those matches that only a Reina of many years ago would have got a sniff of...
If he carries on like he is, in a few weeks the fellas on the telly will be talking about how he's suddenly turned the corner. Then I guess everyone else will start saying it too.
And if he doesn't they won't.
Although, to be fair to "the fellas on the telly"; after four seasons, any marked improvement could be safely described as "sudden".
Me? I'd be happy enough if Simon "suddenly" matches [or better still, exceeds]
his career high total of 11 clean sheets in a season - never mind matching those that a 'poor' Reina, of only two seasons, ago.
Credit where it's due; there are very few keepers who can 'stop' [punch & palm] as many shots from outside the box as Simon can.
And... he had a very good game last night.
