Subject: Leno

I've been a big fan every since he joined. But can't shake the feeling something's not quite right this season. Two goals yesterday when again he kind of just sat down - I would also include Bournemouth's first, Wolves' first, Liverpool's second etc in that category. Munoz lashed it, yes. But it was too easy for him to shoot like that from really close range (I know others were more at fault previously).

At 0-0 Mateta ran through on goal for the game's first chance and it seemed Leno was relying on Bassey getting back in time to put him off - he just stood on his line. Good decision? (genuine question) It felt to me like a decent striker should have put that across Leno into the goal.

At 0-1 he made a really good save from Mateta when he came out and closed the angle (it hit Mateta and went for a goal kick) but that felt like a real rarity of late. Is he becoming less mobile? Why is the ball from a corner being headed by Andersen (first half goal) and Lacroix (second half near goal) from literally three yards out - why is he not coming to claim those balls?

I can remember one fabulous save he's made this season - from Fernandez at Chelsea. Otherwise, it is overly harsh to say that basically, if the ball's hit near him Leno will save it but if it's in the corner, it's a goal?

Just a question, have you ever played in goal or seen the problem every keeper in the league gets with blocking. Thought not. (NT) -- K, Sunday, February 23, 11:38:49am (NoHost/91.190.160.53)

He’s a really sound GK, but not as good this season. As one of the top earners at the club, is he value for money. I don’t believe he justifies his huge wages, I’d want him to be one of the top keepers in the league for what he’s paid, he isn’t this season. However he’s signed on for 2+ years, we are committed to him it feels. Personally don’t think he had a chance with either yesterday, I’d rather a really solid keeper than one who makes great saves mixed with howlers.

As already been said ,Leno is suspect from shot outside of the penalty box. Fulham and conceded the most in the Premier League from long range efforts. Leno is quite often caught in no-mans-land. (NT) -- Fact, Sunday, February 23, 01:30:10pm (host-92-18-220-88.as13285.net/92.18.220.88)
when we have everyone back at corners the nbox is too crowdwd. Leave traore or wilson (when fit) on the half way line (NT) -- ..., Sunday, February 23, 03:22:38pm (host86-153-178-227.range86-153.btcentralplus.com/86.153.178.227)
He had an operation and missed thr Germany games, maybe never got over it (NT) -- Waterboy, Sunday, February 23, 04:27:50pm (NoHost/90.241.99.11)
I agree with the post generally, but (and i'm only asking because i've seen a few people say it) was his save against Fernandez really that good? It was from miles out, he could see it all the way, and it was more or less above him rather than miles to either side. I thought it was a classic ' good save but if it goes in you question the keeper' (NT) -- Same Old Story, Tuesday, February 25, 09:04:24am (NoHost/90.241.80.71)
