By the way can anyone tell me why keepers rarely catch the frigging ball anymore?
It is to do with the way that both boots and balls are designed these pass years... Boots are designed to make it easier to put swerve/bend on the ball, and like wise the ball is designed to have more movement in the air, hence keeper consider it a safer option to punch the ball rather than risk spilling it
I spoke in defense or Karius, and still do. The lad made two errors, but these things happen (posted a video of top goal keeper errors on this forum), it was just unfortunate that he made his in our biggest game in 13 years and that he made two...Still i don't think that we should write him off just yet. These things happen...
But I feel (Uncomfortably so) that maybe too much is being made about the concussion being the reason for the errors. And that everyone who were calling for Karius's head (wrongly, IMO) seems to be back tracking, as if they are embarrassed for doing so, and do not want to appear as foolish as those signing petitions calling for the Finals to be replayed...
I stand by my remarks made about Karius and his errors, and that we should be trying to help him get over this and move forward, instead of making him look like a figure to be pitied as we are doing now, for (to me at least) It sends the message that the supporters will only forgive you if a player can come up with a medical excuse of a mistake in a game that cost us
