This forum is so broken. This thread is hilarious.

It does, but then stopping shots is a big part of his job. He can win us points with that ability. We can’t pretend we’re out of the woods with his slightly suspect movement on crosses though. All in all it’s been a very good return for him so far. He will be scrutinised more than what’s fair.This always feels like a backhanded compliment with GK's.

Hope the haters just get behind this guy now, the abuse has been unbelievably classless from some of our fans.

Really? Where, social media or something?

There are areas where Leno can improve. Namely the high balls. To an extent he needs to think about where he parries a ball to, but in fairness, many of these are split split second reactions.
The problem is, some of the fan base are comparing him to an idealized version of Martinez that never existed. For balance, here's the equivalent game at Liverpool last season. Compare their shot stopping.

Leno has always been a good stopper tbf. but he lacks a little bit in other areas like high balls or corners.

lots of room for improvement and I am confident he will learn and improve on his weak areas. Hope he grows in personality and imposes himself and takes up a role as a senior player and leader.

Tbf I think that version of Martinez did exist. But only for about 8 games or so, where he was not only in the form of his life but you could even make a case no GK was performing better than him anywhere. The problem with that is it is such a small sample. No chance Martinez could have kept that up for a whole season. Yet that run of games of his are the benchmark Leno is judged in every single game.

Yeah which is what I meant by the statement.
Some people have taken that sample, disregarded other evidence and extrapolated it into some sort of super keeper and use it as a stick to beat Leno with! Totally agree.

Just doesn't feel the same having him in the goal as when Emi was here.
Hopefully, we can start the process of finding a better GK as soon as next summer!

He was good most of the game, but he parried the ball into an opponent for the goal again...

His handling has always been his weakness. Parries the ball into dangerous areas when you need him to catch it or tip it behind. Same thing happened against Liverpool for Mané’s goal
People really look at anything to blame him he made a save that what important where it end up next that not really his job where was Gabriel Luiz xhaka Ceballos Tierney you have to ask those questions to why they let sterling have free shot after that.

No defender expects GK to just punch the ball straight back into the danger zone. It was very bad from Leno.

What else could he have done though?
Considering the distance Foden was to the goal and the speed of the shot, all he could realistically do was save it and hope.
The one Mane scored against us a few weeks ago was an error from Leno, this one wasn't.
Country: Iceland
Probably nothing he could do because he is just not that good GK. I think decent GK would have done better. World-class GK would pull this action easily!
