Nice one Rocka!

Right I'm finishing work in half an hour and then Mrs. Blonde and I are off to a barbecue where I'll be getting straight on the pale ales!

I wholeheartedly condone and endorse this course of action.

The only thing that I am annoyed this signing about is Els part of his name as without it this thread would be Matz Willy Selz.
It's a girl's name too...

And we got him in the January window when the entire world knew that we had to sign a keeper no matter what, for only 5million. Our recruitment guys played a blinder.

I like that when you look at Sels you feel he's just gonna grunt at you, slap you and carry on walking. Strikes me as a tough bastard. Love that in my keepers

ross didn't do much, i think it was mat's agent that distributed his name to ross once setz wanted to leave. Ross left it to the goalkeeper coach to determine.
 
What was he doing with the 2nd? He's surrounded by so many players have to try to catch it or punch it out somewhere not push it into the mix.

Not had much to do but still conceded 2 goals.

Yeah, that second one was terrible. But whether Sels' fumbling the ball into the mix of players or their guy getting an initial free header at the cross was the worst part of the defending there, I don't know. Very bad all round.

It looked like most obvious routes out with a punch were off because of the crowd of players and a lot of keepers these days don't really try and hold on to situations like that because the balls are a bit lighter and there's a high chance under pressure they can drop the ball into the mix anyway.

Not really convinced it was either an error or that he had much better options, as a team we appeared to defend the set piece badly. The eventual shot appeared to go through Murillo's legs, for example. And when VAR checked for handball against Neves then he was having somewhat close attention from one of the defenders, which on another day could have been a pen.

Yet again it's ultimately another set piece which as a team we have failed to defend adequately and which has led to a goal and us losing more points. 51 points now dropped from winning positions since promotion.

We can analyse Sels' contribution but it wasn't an obvious keeping error which solely led to us conceding or a Muric moment - and it's also the first where perhaps he really could have done better. Even Keylor made the odd mistake (or again, one where he just could have done better).
