Sa without the brain farts is a top 3/4 keeper. He wouldn't be playing for us

Mendy has plenty of brain farts. Penalty yesterday and got away with a massive howler against MU. Given his workload is significantly lower than Sa’s he’s not doing too well.He's absolutely nowhere near Ederson/Alisson/Mendy, come on now. Let's be real.
I do too. He's made two really good saves yesterday and his distribution was excellent.Thought Sa was very good yesterday. I like him.
I'm not sure he's too far behind any of them.He's absolutely nowhere near Ederson/Alisson/Mendy, come on now. Let's be real.
Not keen at all but he's nothing like what people are suggesting. We've played 15 games, conceded 13 and he's objectively at fault for at least 3, maybe 4 (in fact Lycan blames him for Everton's goal too but I wouldn't go that far). He doesn't make loads of saves, we don't concede many because Kilman, Coady and (to a lesser extent) Saiss have been excellent. He's had numerous games where he's had as good as nothing to do.Not sure Deutsch why you are so keen to die on this Sa hill.
He not, 1 goal conceded in 3 games.If he carries on with a brain fart every game, allied to our inability to score goals, he could be a problem for us. It's OK making good saves and decent distribution but if you're serving a gilt edge chance to the opposition every game it more than cancels that out.
Jota should have scored, absolute sitter. No thanks to Sa that he didn't.He not, 1 goal conceded in 3 games.
I would argue with the 3/4 goals. I'd probably put it as 1 and 2 1/2's so call it 2. Appreciate there's been a couple of get out of jail moments like yesterday's, but surely you can see his anticipation on the edge of the box has saved numerous opportunities and we are the only PL side not to have conceded directly from a corner this season - he's played a significant part in that, along with ditching the zonal crapNot keen at all but he's nothing like what people are suggesting.

He's ok, but he's worth about what we paid. Which is way below what you'd expect a top half PL keeper to cost....so we don't really have a top half PL keeper. We have a bit of an oddball whose flaws we can mask as we have decent defenders and we fundamentally set up not to lose more than anything.
1) It was a foul by Jota as he pushed Saiss into SaJota should have scored, absolute sitter. No thanks to Sa that he didn't.
How we defend corners so far has been really interesting and actually quite enjoyable. So rare teams leave two players up at corners nowadays!I would argue with the 3/4 goals.

I like how we are positioning RAN also for corners. Cuts off the short corner option and also creates an outletHow we defend corners so far has been really interesting and actually quite enjoyable. So rare teams leave two players up at corners nowadays!
Yes he did, my lad has been ranting about this for 3 daysHaven’t seen it again but didn’t Jota push Saiss into Sa? He also was a massive reason it was 0-0 after 93
No more than when Adama "pushed" VVD and passed to Hwang who decided to neither shoot or pass to the man in space.Yes he did, my lad has been ranting about this for 3 days
Yes but it doesn't count when we do it to themNo more than when Adama "pushed" VVD and passed to Hwang who decided to neither shoot or pass to the man in space.
That was appalling from Hwang but it wasn't a foul by Adama.No more than when Adama "pushed" VVD and passed to Hwang who decided to neither shoot or pass to the man in space.
