The goals he conceded are whatever, he’s usually better than that, so can chalk it up to a bad day.
On the ball/in build up though he’s a liability. Why is he suddenly hoofing it all the time now, gone from one extreme to another. If we want to continue playing out the back(and we definitely should), he’s a problem.

That was absolutely the managers tactics to hoof it up.
If it was it suggests he doesn’t trust Leno on the ball, which is a problem. Can’t imagine that was by design though.

Not Leno imo, more Holding, Ceballos bit of Chambers and then the fact Liverpools pressing is brilliant.
With Luiz and Xhaka we play out more. Leno is the start but there's no point passing it around with guys like Rob, Chamber and Cedric. Arteta knew this and we tried to win the second ball, it worked once and we had a little bit of an attack but that's it.
I thought this too. Seems like Arteta bottled playing out because he didn't trust the defenders back there. No Luiz, no Xhaka and literally the only one trusted to take the ball off Leno is Partey. Gabriel's serviceable as a passer from CB but it's not his strength, as shown with their 3rd goal.
That said, Leno has been shaky lately and it's a bit of a concern but no more than that. He's still one of the better keepers IMO, and to upgrade on him would be an unnecessary task in the short term.
Having a bit of a shaky spell but he’ll come through. The nutmeg was poor but I also felt as though he could’ve done better with Jota’s header. I could be being harsh here as I’ve not watched the goals back again, obviously.
You kinda need to back him, no other choice. He's our first choice keeper, that's it. He'll get another contract this year or next too I bet. Maybe in another universe he'd be upgraded on, but in this one there are myriad bigger problems elsewhere in the team and he's a good keeper. Unless Leno decides he wants to play somewhere else, he'll be our keeper for many more years to come.
Arsenal Keepers and the near post, a match made in disaster.

How is that goal his fault?
Country: England
Time to try Ryan out in goal, Leno has paper wrists right now.
He palmed it back into the net. Not the first time either.
Not his fault, but he HAS to do better there.

Seriously need to think about moving him on. Racking up to many mistakes now for it to be anything other than really poor keeping in general from him, seems to be a rut he can't get out of.

Doesn't appreciate the mighty Nacho
Nervous all game. Kicking it long, kicking it out of play, not claiming his box. Also at fault for the goal.
Second week in a row he’s punched the ball into the net. Average keeper.
