Watson dropped another clanger. What’s new there ?
Putting all the supposed conspiracy bullshit regarding Campbell and Butler to one side. Watson isn’t good enough and never will be.
How much more leeway is he going to be given when he keeps making mistakes ?
Granted there were a catalogue of errors in the lead up to the shot which he palmed straight into danger, but come on….he’s got to do better than that. Any GK with basic, good solid fundamentals gathers that in.
Before certain people start wading in with the age old “you hate Butler” or “you have it in for Watson”, which I may add is complete horse shit, please take into consideration that if any other outfield player was continually making the same mistakes I would be saying the exact thing about them.
Phil, I acknowledge the fact there were errors in the build up to them having the shot, but a capable GK easily deals with said shot.
Even commentary from Boston’s end called it a “goalkeeping howler” which it was. We need to be better as a collective unit, but having a GK who is essentially keeps making basic errors, it’s making it worse.
Having a GK who’s so unsure coming off his line to collect high balls into the box is hardly going to get the best out of the CB’s for instance as they’re going to be on edge and stretched feeling the need to compensate for Watson.
What CB would want to play in front of a GK who hugely struggles to command his box and looks so unsure when claiming high balls ?
