Out of interest, would you say he doesn't deserve to be crucified for that?

Yes. He made a mistake, it happens to everyone :shrug:

Of course, it will be because he he is old and shit though amirite? Oh yes, it seems that that was the consensus. :roll:

you cant write someone off after 5 mins thats absurd...I know plenty want to be able to say told you so, but Jesus lets all calm down a bit.

I think you've hit the (crucifixion) nail on the head there. Still a horrendous piece of goal keeping though.

I just wondered if you were coming at it from the point of view that he deserves more of a chance or if you were offering a discount on some wood and a bag of nails.

I agree, mistakes happen to every goalkeeper, you could pick out a number of errors by any one of our goalkeepers. Friedel's problem is that he was such a strange signing in the first place, this mistake will just highlight that to most people (me included). The key thing, as with any goalkeeping error, will be in how he responds. I think he's fortunate the second goal was offside but he's not someone I would consider a weak mental character. Just one that's physically rather old for a position that requires good reactions and agility.

If Gomes made that error, you'd want him sold. Now that Friedel made an error, you want Gomes back....make up your minds, throughout his career he's been far more consistent and doesn't make many errors compared Gomes so don't panic

Glad to hear Wilson having a good game and what with Sandro out, I'd be loathe to let Palacios go and I still feel he has a hell of a lot to offer us this season.
