How did we not learn from last time.
To stay in the prem you need a solid goalkeeper we yet again went into the untested market based on statistics and it has failed again.
We could have gone for any of the following
Ramsdale
Pope
Dubravka
Traverse
Darlow
I don't want to pile on the error today too much but it was actually the reaction to it that was worse. We resorted to just pumping the ball forwards and being too scared to play the ball out quickly

I dont get the comments from oneil about training
In training christian is the better keeper
Some players are great trainers. Some arent.
Some players need match minutes as Scherpen said to gain confidence |
You should probably give O'Neil a call and let him know. |  |

Just bring scherpen back in
Allow him to utilise his long throws
Ask him not to worry about playing ball to defenders feet
Let him work with his defenders to understand when to come and when not too. |
Should never have been dropped in the first place. | | | |

Did you see his positioning for the Liverpool goals? His distribution is woeful, Granted Walton hasn't covered himself in glory recently, but we are were we are on the Goalkeeper front, he was outstanding last season, he's just under far more pressure.
And if I'm honest, bar David Raya, I haven't been overly impressed with many other PL keepers, Suzuki has been decent but had a mare yesterday. |  |

As an aside, Stuart Watson said on Thursday's podcast that he had been told in the summer that Scherpen hadn't been bought as the No.1 keeper.
Instead, he was bought with the chance of competing with Walton for the No.1 spot which didn't happen because Walton was injured, and so Scherpen had to start the season. [Post edited 8 Nov 22:35]

Does seem a strange narrative, that we bought two goalkeepers in the summer, and didn’t expect either to be our first choice keeper.
Not sure I believe it, to be honest.
We have bought 4 goalkeepers in the two premier league seasons and still have Walton as number one. Does seem a very strange use of resources. |  | | |

Did you keep a straight face when you typed Darlow?
Pope is perennially injured, Dubravka is a shadow of the player he was a few years ago, Ramsdale is approx 57th choice for Southampton at the moment.
I really hope this list was compiled in jest. | |

I think that's probably the line he's been fed.
I can't see us paying €10m for a back-up goalkeeper at this point in the club's progress.
To my mind he was bought as No 1, wobbled, and O'Neil painted himself into a corner by dropping him so swiftly. | |

He didn't say "back-up goalkeeper". He said, "bought with the chance of competing with Walton". So basically whoever's best gets the shirt. Seems a reasonable position. And £8.5m isn't a lot for a Prem keeper these days, anyway. In fact it's the sort of price you'd pay for a back up! | |
