Such is the life of a back-up keeper.....
Peeps are chatting about Henderson, but he's had less than half as many games as Gollini:
I didn't disregard the mistake. Do I blame Gollini for the goal? Yes. Do I blame him the most? Absolutely not, that corner was on Tanganga to clear. Here's another example:
Newcastle at home last year was 3 shitty events in a row that led to a late equaliser. A non-existant foul where Shelvey? throws himself into Hojbjerg, Dier jumping with his back and having his arms on a natural position after the free-kick, and the penalty. Does Dier have any fault in that ? A bit, but not much. The ref was stupid enough to give the free-kick on the first place and then the penalty. You can't take every event isolated, that's not how football works.
It's not easy for back-up keepers these days. In the past they could play in the reserves etc but now they only get to play if the first keeper is injured or in a lesser game.Such is the life of a back-up keeper.....

Their lack of game time is always a worry and i'm sure if Gollini had a run of games his confidence would come back.
To be fair how many good keepers are willing to be a No2, knowing they will be benched pretty much every week
Indeed.
To me the topic of Gollini comes back to the most pressing matter:
If he plays 6 more times then we are obliged to buy him. So, unless we are keen for that to happen, we must avoid playing him and save those remaining appearances for the undesirable potential that Hugo may get injured.
End his loan now, sorry
Terrible keeping. Terrible decision to have him keeping
That post doesn’t really make sense.
He’s been at fault for 3 of the 9 goals he’s conceded.
That’s not a 3rd of the goals spurs have conceded this campaign?
I think it's just poorly worded. He's directly at fault for a third of the goals he's conceded is the point I think they are making.
Nothing against him personally but we should really terminate his loan, or just not play him another 5 more times.
Madness to pay any money for this guy has no confidence whatsoever we simply cannot afford to play him and hope he improves so far he has been rubbish .
This is Ricky Sacks isn’t it? Bloke is a fucking idiot
Managed to have both a decent game and an awful game at the same time.
He let in an absolute howler which is what people are going to remember, but also pulled off a good few decent saves.
His main issue seems to be focus, on a lot of the goals that he has conceded he just doesn't seem prepared for the shot coming. And that's a big concern.

10 games, 11 goals conceded, 3 goals his fault and only 2 clean sheets (against Pacos in return leg of ECL qualifying round + against Burnley in Carabao).
So he has had one more direct mistake than clean sheets over 10 games?
What is point of such goalkeeper? We could have continued with Hart as 2nd glove, compared to how he is playing.

Barring an injury to Lloris, he won't be playing much now.
And that scares the shit out of me that Hugo gets injured
