After watching Everton highlights it’s a shocking indictment on GON that he managed to lose 4-0 to them. Putrid side who are trying to draw their way to safety.

I know it's the crappy defence that people throw out in favour of Sa when he does something stupid, but the current standard of PL goalkeeping is not very high. How has Verbruggen let that in?

Yep, goalkeeping is really poor.

It is obvious but it comes from the modern expectation of wanting goalkeepers to be excellent ball players, but also capable of being agile shot stoppers, physically strong coming for corners, and fast off their line. All 4 things together are difficult for the human form.

A good point - much like CHs used to be “stoppers” and weren’t expected to be good on the ball. I guess simple physics explains why agility and coordination are generally better in shorter people. Not many 6’ 3” gymnasts!

When I was 18 I knew a lad who could lick his own dick! Got us chucked out of countless pubs.

Lower centre of gravity?

I'm 73, have brilliant reflexes, it's just putting my socks on in the morning, where i struggle a bit.

Well you know what they say.
"If you're old, and not in pain when you wake up, you died in the night".

That's a red for davis all day long. Tit of a ref.

Ipswich 1 up v Fulham puts us back in the bottom 3 as it stands.
