sim0n - thanks for the question (rather than just a rating).I must say, everyone else praised Brad and the ratings here are all 7-8 from SC folks. 5 for Friedel yesterday, really?
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I do not see any evidence to support your very low rating for a Spurs player who performed well yesterday. Just an observation, no other agenda at play from me. Since it was the only one like it, your rating caught my eye.
COYS!!!
I did wonder about the marks when reading everyone's ratings for Brad. he made 1 really good save and a couple of good saves - this i have no problem with.
However, QPR were piling crosses into the 6 yard box and brad was rooted to the line. QPR were winning most of the headers and Brad really should have been coming for these balls to help the defense out. We have conceded most of our goals from set-pieces this year and teams have bombarded us at times knowing that they can put the ball right into the 6 yard box and the keeper will not come. If Brad came and caught/punched a few out team would need to put their crosses out of that zone, making it harder for teams to score.
This is not an anti-brad rant from me, but something that i believe is hurting the team. Every time the ball was cossed close to the goal i was worried yesterday and i think this was a tactic from QPR knowing how brad likes to stay on his line..
