No-one questioned Suresh Reina for the goal Van Persie sidefooted in to the middle of the net and no-one questions Reina for QPR's winner yesterday. Rule no.1 of goalkeeping - stay low. He had time to set himself, and he did, and he let the ball go straight through him. Must be one of the most overrated players around. He makes so many mistakes.
To be fair it helps when your defence suddenly decides not to defend. For all three goals, actually.Originally Posted by Syn
Can hardly call anything he did last night a mistake though. And wasn't Van Persie's volley (I assume) right by the post, not the middle? You could say he shouldn't have been beaten at his near post, but the finish was pretty good.
He's had by far his worst season though, and when I pointed that out to a bunch of Liverpool fans was told to "c unt off"... whatever the hell that means.
His positioning is awful. A lot of the time. He gets the basics wrong. He seems to give Arsenal a goal every time they go to Anfield. Van Persie's volley was a great piece of technique but his positioning was awful and he should not get beaten from that angle, from that far out, at that height. He should've saved QPR's winner, too. It was a basic error of not staying low and he had plenty of time to set himself.
Maybe he has been extra poor this season but I've got to admit I've never understood the fuss over him. Liverpool could do better but he doesn't seem to get questioned - that's what I don't get. Every 'keeper makes mistakes, even Hart who is probably the best in the league, but when I read any reaction, people (not just on here, general media) do actually point it out even as a backhanded compliment (a 'keeper of that calibre will be disappointed with himself). Though in fairness to the Van Persie volley I think Motty or whoever was doing the BBC commentary did say Reina should do better.
I've been as critical of Reina as anyone but I don't think he can be blamed for the RVP goal, or at least, it's understandable why he was where he was. I mean, as a goalkeeper I would imagine instinct would tell you any striker would try and go across goal from a volley there, like he did for the Everton one but he adjusted his foot and went for the nearpost instead. Even Van Basten's ridiculous effort was across the goal.
Also, any excuse to post it...
