Our ball retention as a team is woeful, how anyone can criticise Cooper for distribution is bonkers. The options throughout the time is often very limited, anayalse our throw ins for 5minutes. Literally clueless!
Why are our throw ins consistently worse than my Nan's bingo club 3rd XI. They really are shocking!!If two different goalkeepers find it difficult to release the ball quickly then maybe it's possible their colleagues are not making themselves ready. Similarly, there are times when I would hate to be taking throw-ins for us.
I recall the great Larrieu occasionally punting a left-footed clearance into the Lindhurst. For such a young ākeeper, Coops has exceptional distribution. I think we can give home some time to get his radar on target and speed up his distribution. Also, as others have said, he did get some difficult back passes on Tuesday night.I think we just have to be patient with Coops. Letās not forget heās had 2 serious injuries and itās bound to take him time to get back to the levels he showed previously in all aspects of his game. His reactions and shot stopping has been good in recent games. Hopefully his kicking and distribution will improve with more game time.
I cut them a bit of slack when Ian Foster arrived and suddenly the RCB and LCBs were taking the throws in our half. I suspect that Phillips, Pleggy and Gibson were probably taking the first throws of their career. Galloway has experience at full back/wing back so he would have some idea. Phillips especially was very lucky, often throwing off one leg and not getting pulled up for a foul throw. I wonder if again it is ability related - that we are closed down so quickly and so well that our player receiving the throw is not always quick enough to retain possession.Why are our throw ins consistently worse than my Nan's bingo club 3rd XI.

Only in a forest full of "pine needles"It can't help that we play in camouflage green.
Bring back burton ! You know the one that got us to Wembley and help get us 101 points last season , not given a chance ,short memories.Rogue and all, this isnāt a heās better than him thread. Iām just pointing out that Cooper didnāt help the defenders last night with his distribution, especially considering the fast high press.

Fair enough, but I said āfor a young keeper ā. Happy to settle for āvery goodā. Also agree he is not above criticism and we have two other quality keepers.āExceptionalā thatās embarrassing donāt over egg it, Iāll settle for very good.
Eddison at Man City is exceptional and please donāt put Cooper in the same catergory as him.
And why is it that Cooper in beyond criticism with some on here thereās always a caveat, itās someone elseās fault or heās still rusty.
Maybe because heās just returned after a five-month injury absence? Plus the fact that we really like him!āExceptionalā thatās embarrassing donāt over egg it, Iāll settle for very good.

Distribution mediocre, didn't command his 6yd box and was a tad weak when he did try. Decent shot stopper tho. Hazard is far better than Burton. Coops is better than Hazard.Bring back burton !
