Horrendously flawed keeper and here we see an inability to develop over time. The same mistakes are being made years later. His footwork is downright awful yes, but his decision making is atrocious. Why is he falling to the ground while trying to raise his hands in both these screenshots...
I've heard the same re: Boland. After the debacle of last Summer it really does seem like JL has learnt quite a bit with regards to how the pitches perform. Boland's MCG numbers are impressive, while in comparison Neser's are not. I say this as a huge advocate of Neser and quite underwhelmed...
