Donnaruma should have done better on that. Growing pains to be expected with a 16 year old though.

That's why you should play the top class keeper warming the bench (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Does anyone know the details of why Lopez has been benched? To be honest I don't mind Donnarumma getting some playing time. He hasn't cost the team points yet and he is clearly the future at keeper. I hope this motivates Lopez to come back playing at his best.

I personally don't see anything in him to suggest that he could be our future keeper, seems very awkward, and maybe that might be his height, but he seems to make a lot of strange decisions, not to mention a couple of butter finger moments where he let the ball slip through his fingers both today and on Wednesday. He was very slow to react on the goal today as well

Miha I think is just being stubborn about this, him hitting out at the press because they criticised Donnarumma and his decision to play him over Lopez says it all to me. The only way I can see him relenting on this and admitting to being wrong is when Donnarumma makes a really bad mistake that will cost us points. Until then I get the feeling that Miha will be a stubborn @sshole about this.

Playing someone who causes the defenders to get nervous about what the keeper will be doing is not really conducive to getting our defence to play better

Han, he's 16. He's pretty clearly already better than Abbiati is at this point in his career. No, he's not perfect and has a couple nervous moments but I could count on one hand the number of goal keepers in the world that would give me complete confidence that they don't have a mistake in them. I also see no evidence that his presence between the posts makes the defenders nervous in any way. Quite the opposite as his run has been during some of the best defensize displays of the season. He's not ready to be the full time starter but we'd be crazy to not give him some game time to develop. Lopez can wait until that massive error to take over.
