Yesterday liverpool fans were so impress about an event that took place…
Matt Turner, the goalie for Nottingham Forest, has come under fire from Shay Given for his performance against Liverpool yesterday. The 29-year-old had a difficult afternoon at Anfield as the Reds lost 3-0.
Turner joined Forest in the summer after leaving Arsenal. At the cost of £7 million, he became the team’s first choice right away, with Ethan Horvath being the only other senior goalkeeper on Trentside.Odysseas Vlachodimos was the goalkeeper Forest added on transfer deadline day to rival Turner. The top-ranked player in Greece will now be eagerly awaiting his big break.
Given that Turner hasn’t impressed me
Turner was having a really sticky afternoon. He parried straight to Diogo Jota in the first goal, who was unable to miss. His spot on the team could now be at risk due to his insane act in the third.
Turner, the Forest goalkeeper, appeared upset after Mohamed Salah scored due to his error in judgement. Turner made some excellent saves in the first half, but his obvious mistake in the second half undid all of his hard work.
One of the greatest goalkeepers to have ever graced the Premier League, Given stated during Match of the Day 2: “At Anfield, you need your goalkeeper to step up as well.” It’s likely that (Matt) Turner deserved some of the goals. His performance in a Nottingham Forest shirt wasn’t the best.
Turner’s Forest place must now be forfeited.
This was bound to happen. It’s safe to say that he’s had some embarrassing incidents on home soil lately, even though there hasn’t been a mistake as painful as the one from yesterday.
His distribution can be quite lacking, and his Liverpool performance will definitely make Cooper pause and think.
Turner’s benching makes no sense with Vlachodimos in place. The all-time great from Greece has a wealth of experience and numerous appearances in European competition while playing for Benfica.
This is the right moment to change. The fact that Forest isn’t performing well enough to overlook such a small mistake may indicate that Vlachodimos should take Turner’s gloves off.
