How many balls did he drop today, 4?

 

I know it was slippy but there were a few he came to punch too and wasn’t convincing. Tough opposition in terms of shithousery in the box tbf.

He was OK but he made 3-4 mistakes that could have led to goals if someone had latched into them. We don’t have anyone else so it doesn’t really matter.

 

Drop all those balls with Rashford and Martial around next time and it will be very different

Thought the commentators were a bit harsh. Seemed more vindicating the other England goalkeepers. Conditions weren't great. He was solid up to losing control, which could have been conditions or lack of concentration. He has a little wobble after but did well. Solid back up, as mentioned to Dubs. This is the player we signed from Forest and were hyped up about. He just needs more confidence and authority at times, which will come with more games.

The feed I was watching had Michael Gray as co-commentator - after half time he said something about Darlow being a candidate for the England job, then hammered him for every error he made thereafter.

 

I don't think it's that the commentators are harsh, it's that they're idiots.

I like Darlow. He’s a really solid backup keeper for this league but that’s taking the piss. The visual improvement when we upgraded to Dubravka was incredible.

 

Pickford has been shite but Pope (despite being poor yesterday) and Henderson are miles above his level.

Classic English player shite that, has a very good games and then getting talked about England squad.  He's also 30, he really should be at his peak now.

Exactly, also reflective of the Newcastle issue, where a player can have a few good games in succession, then their actual quality is subsequently overblown and vice-versa

 

That's not to say it's an exclusively Newcastle problem, but it's more keenly felt here I reckon

He's shit. Makes routine saves look spectacular, incompetent at catching the ball first time and looks like Mats Sels gave him lessons on how to palm the ball back into the danger area.

 

Can't wait till Dubs is back. Darlow is probably about Pickford level.

He really hasn’t been shite the last few games and is fairly competent backup like
