Why is it that goalies can play a blinder one minute, then have a brainstorm the next? I suppose that they don't really have room to make mistakes.
Oh well...

For the first goal Richardson gave the ball away on the edge of the box which led to the shot which VDS failed to save, then Brown was so slow to react to the ball falling about one meter away from him he allowed the Portsmouth player to go past him and score. Yes, VDS made a mistake by pushing straight back but Portsmouth shouldn't have had the ball, but did because of Richardson, and then Brown should have cleared it. The second goal today was Ferdinands fault imo, you should always look before you pass, which he obviously didn't do.
Yes VDS has made a couple of big mistakes in the past two games but he has also made a couple of world class saves that have kept us in Europe and kept us in match today. I think he is by the far the best goalkeeper at the club at the moment and is the best we have had since Schmeichel.
