Juande has replaced Jol and Poyet has replaced Hughton, which many people see as the best move the club has made, not forgetting Alvarez and Dr Escribano and his baby food. However, the club also sacked Hans Segars and said that they were on the lookout for a goalkeeping coach. What has Comolli done? I haven't seen any evidence to suggest he has been searching for one. I know we have Perry Suckling who was the youth coach now but he wasn't seen as the long-term solution.

I saw the final on tv again last night and Robinson just didn't set his wall properly for their goal, he also committed the same problem against Slavia Prague. Obviously there is no-one that seems to be guiding him properly as no keeper in the modern game should be making this type of fundamental error. I for one am worried.
It was so sweet to see King lift that cup again last night!!!

I have asked the same question several times but, no one seems to kno whats going on. Although at one point I heard that Robbo's old coach from his Leeds days was being talked to about the job.

I expect they're doing their business pretty quietly plus it's not as interesting for the tabs so we don't hear much about it.

Maybe Ramos is waiting to know who his number 1 is going to be before getting a GK coach...

i thought big pat was there!

From what I remember, Hans was our goalkeeping coach, and Pat had some odd role. Something like 'Head of keeping' or something dumb (maybe not that bad, but still). I get the impression it meant Segars was much more hands on with Robbo.

I'm pretty sure Pat Jennings was our goalkeeping coach a while back and then was moved to the title of 'Goalkeeping Consultant' when Hans Segars was bought in as goalkeeping coach.

It was a very strange move unless Jennings didn't want the role anymore, hmmm...

When Robbo first arrived at spurs I thought he was very good. Even the 2005/06 season we had quite a few 1-0 and 2-1 wins where he made some cracking saves earning us points and became the undisputed England number 1. Maybe through the years working with bad coaches/no coach is the reason why he has gone downhill a quality GK coach could see him become the England number 1 again.

Seconded

Or at least........get this coach when Ramos has decided which keeper he's buying this summer.

Which was, doubtless, why Arsenal employed Bob Wilson to coach Seaman.

Of course a good goalkeeping coach can make a difference. And it seems to me that Segers made one, only the wrong kind. Eddie observed months ago that ever since he took over our keepers seem to have got worse rather than better. Is this a coincidence?

Rubbish, a top class goalkeeping coach will be able to improve our keepers much in the same way that Ramos/Poyet/Alvarez have improved our outfield players.

Seconded

Or just go out and get a top class goalkeeping coach that is at the same level as the rest of our management team because that is what is important.

What you mean you haven't seen any evidence he's looking for a keeper coach? You got proof that he isn't looking? Or you want him to keep an goalie-search daily update?
You may be disappointed but I don't think Comolli as so stupid as he's not aware of the problem...
