Really impressed by Woodman. Dude has barely played for us and came on during one of the biggest matches of the year. He had a few close calls, but he handled his position with the poise of Alisson. The team played better with him at the back, as they could easily trust him to receive the ball, control his touches and make simple passes.
I wish him a speedy and full recovery. But I hope Woodman gets a game or two. He looked confident with his feet and brought some calmness to the defense bc he could be trusted with his distribution. Big cajones on the guy to come into a big game (a derby no less) and put in a solid performance like that. Two GKs down is par for the course this season for us
Yeah it looked pretty painful/gnarly. I'll be honest though I hope Mamardashvilli is back, then Alisson comes back. There's a reason Woodman is a third choice goalkeeper. He wasn't tested at all from a shot stopping perspective outside of one half chance from a super tight angle.
And quite frankly I couldn't care less about distribution of the ball coming down the stretch. Just keep the ball out of our own net right now, and I think Mamardashvilli is quite good as a shot stopper. And with the way we are playing I think we're going to have to have some world class saves.
