Great take. I agree.

What in the actual fuck is Milesy wearing. You'd get sent home from school with that shit in my day.
If RDZ thinks Kinsky is the No 1 now then id be inclined to give Brandon Austin the No 2. We do not give our young English players enough chances, and buying a foreign keeper who will barely play as a number 2 taking up a foreign player spot is just crazy
Mate he's 27.
Agree we need a homegrown keeper as no.2 but I'd be getting an experienced one in (Darlow's the name that's doing the rounds). Going into the season with 2 relatively inexperienced keepers would be playing with fire.
Austin strikes me as one of those guys that's gonna be a 3rd choice keeper for life. If he had real ambition he would've left by now. And tbh that's fine - clubs need guys like that for training - but we need to give up on the idea of him being a legit option beyond an emergency back-up imo.
Austin would be a 1st choice somewhere and should take it if it comes up but who drops money like that.
Regardless Kinsky has responded the right way to a hellfire of a baptism. He's made of stern stuff.

I still don't know if the kids going to be any good or not, but deserves huge fucking credit for showing the character to come in after the AM mess (which wasn't all his fault - but he carried the can) and perform the way he has.
Well done kid.
Well done kid.
Kinsky kept us up in my opinion.
Huge saves the past few games.
He's our number 1 next season.

I’m pleased for the lad particularly his redemption curve from Athletico.
However his distribution was meh yesterday. And the save was not that great, 99% of keepers make that (Joe Hart excluded) as it was very close to him and not going for the corner of the goal. If he missed that we would all be angry.
That said I do like him. Not sure he is ready for no.1 though.

He’s done well to come back but I remember big Erik Thorstvedt throwing one in on his debut (on tv against Forest, which was a big deal back then) and he went on to be a great keeper for us for years. So all the crap people in the media were spouting about his career being over with us was just utter nonsense.
Thought this quite revealing…

Yeah he can spot a talent, he's just shit at profiling and his squad building doesn't make sense.
Player of the season.
What mental fortitude.
Also the best passer on the team recently which is a damning indictment on the squad.

That's what I mean, he's been here ages and only got a game in the EL (?)
That’s a bit of a weird take IMHO.
I don’t recall any poor distribution yesterday, I thought he kept it simple, but that’s what the game needed.
That save at the death was anything but simple. Watch the highlights, I think he sees it late because Palhinha is in his line of vision and it requires good reflexes and a strong hand.
I think his distrubution has consistently been well above average compared to most PL keepers. There are only a few in league that are better passers than him and he's as comfortable in possession as any of them.
I have a sneaking suspicion De Zerbi has been asking him to just launch it long more than usual to keep things simple - our passing out from the back has been quite risk-averse by De Zerbi standards. I imagine he'd ask a lot more of him (and the entire team) in possession next season when he goes all-in on his style of play.
You'd get beaten up by girls on your way out.

No surprise, Vicario is the prick's prick.

Feel good story of the season for sure.
