Green got away with one

[dsqpr]

Can't agree with that he tried to take it quick and short and passed it to their player that's not knowing what your doing that's clumsey and a liability he's been saved by the rules

He knew the West Ham player couldn't touch the ball so just ignored him and went for the pass. He wasn't at all bothered that he intercepted the ball and put it in the net so he obviously knew it wouldn't count. That West Ham player should have been booked.

I have to say here that I think Rob Green is a decent keeper who can come up with big performances and he proved it last season. However, he has not been playing well recently and players who don't play well need to be dropped to keep them on their toes. Time for a change in goal, but not necessarily a permanent one.

If the player had tried intercept pass I agree but from my recollection green kicked it at him. Green distribution is appalling today is an example of that the player being in or out area is neither here nor their

We have got 2 good keepers on the books. So if form dips we can give the other a go. Doesn't hurt, and sometimes after conceding game after game a break isn't always bad.

I think his pass would have gone straight to one of our players if the West Ham player hadn't intercepted it. I also think Green was assuming that because the West Ham player was inside the box he would leave the pass alone or be booked. Unfortunately the ref didn't book him.

Edit: I just reviewed it on PVR - 79th minute. You're right West, Green did kick it straight to him. The West Ham player was dancing around in front of Green, illegally preventing him from making the pass he wanted to make. If the West Ham player hadn't been there it would have been a good pass but since he was there, Green essentially kicked it straight to him - presumably to make a point to the referee.

It's always dangerous assuming the ref will make the correct call while you make your point, even at this level! There have been some MLSish blunders by the officials in the EPL!

Yep - witch hunt against him from some.

Tbh he is the least of our problems. If we switched keeper, does anybody really think we would be any different in terms of results? Would a different keeper mean we would have beaten Hull, Tottenham, Utd, Southampton & Wet Spam? No, of course not. We have far more pressing issues to worry about. It's like having a broken leg but worrying about a chipped toe nail.

I don't know what he was thinking .....but that goal was rightly chalked off. I can only think he was trying to make a point that the fella wasn't 10 yds.

The decision by the officials was the correct, but Green's to kick the ball out like that was ludicrous.

Witch hunt?

He's the quitest keeper I've ever seen & does not inspire confidence. He's not a bad keeper by any stretch nor our worst player but we can improve that position which in turn could improve those in front of him. That's why we have a squad. It's not there for the fun of it.
