I think the keeper being unable to pick it up from a back pass is why we’ve seen a big drop off in the ball being rolled out.
The only real opportunity to roll it out is when the keeper takes the ball cleanly rather than parrying it out.

We all want the perfect footballer, mate. Unfortunately the only keeper who fits your bill is perhaps Allison? Even Pep junked Ederson for Trafford (until Donnarumma became available).
If we could give Kinksi's distribution to Vicario then we'd have the perfect keeper. But we can't. So we don't.
You're making "perfect the enemy of good".
It's been over 30 years...
I know it has, but we have keepers that prefer to parry out which is why the only opportunity to roll it out is if the ball is held by the keeper from a shot or cross etc.
Hugo used to roll the ball out much more often than Vic does.
The distribution is much less of an issue for me than Vic’s inability to effectively command his area.
I agree, I think Vic's distribution isn't too bad. His long balls aren't accurate but he's decent with his feet and dealing with backpasses.
Crosses are his biggest weakness.
Again this is a metric that is of secondary importance to the main skill - stopping the ball going in the net.
I, too, would like to clone Petr Cech but we can't so in the meantime I suggest we get behind out current number one who is genuinely elite at the single most important aspect of goalkeeping = shot stopping.
To buy what you want would cost north of 70 million and I'm not even sure where to start looking. But when you find them and we've sorted all our other fucking headaches - I'll be first in line behind you demanding we replace Vic
I agree. But I also think his distribution is... adequate to poor.
But we can work around those things by being better across the back 4 and CDM's. But we'd be in a heap of shit of Vic hadn't' been having a golden gloves season so far.
To bring it back to Kinksi - I like him an awful lot but he's got so many weaknesses to iron out before he's a starter. Problem is he needs to play to learn.
A keeper being able to command his area isn’t a big ask IMHO.Again this is a metric that is of secondary importance to the main skill - stopping the ball going in the net.

Is there any other keeper in the prem as big a flapper as Vicario?
Genuine question as most lower level keepers seem quite capable of coming and collecting a cross.
Did say plenty times on here over the summer that we needed to address the goalie situation...and that's including the mad Italian. But ENIC, Levy and all that, so for the zillionth time since they took over, they left the squad short and full of glaring holes. And with our legendary luck, course it's gonna bite us in the ass sooner rather than later. That's their MO, that's what they do...and even with the evil dwarf gone, it ain't gonna change anytime soon.
We're the undisputed kings when it comes to spunking money on shite.
You hate just about every player we have. I don’t think it’s possible to address all of them.
Like when he threw it directly out for a throw in?
Because the lazy RWer didn’t move. Also name me a goalkeeper that completed every pass they attempted.
No, I don't. Not even gonna bother to list the ones I rate, such cheap posts don't deserve it.
"His distribution is elite because we say it is."
Don't bring evidence into it.
The person who originally suggested Pochettino as a potential manager got pelted with Disagrees on this forum.It's good to remind yourself that a healthy proportion of football fans are also complete fucking idiots.
Wouldn't be a very long post though would it
Last year he played a few games in a row and got progressively worse
What is it that makes people want to pretend he is something he isn't?
There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to think he has any more potential than any other random 22 year old keeper.
He didn't get progressively worse - the starting line up in front of him did.
The games he was playing in had a makeshift defence
