If so it is easy to criticise but he seems to have been a victim of our revolving door manager strategy surely?
I don't think the problem was a change from 'playing out from the back' to a more direct approach.

Kicking a ball accurately is needed in either style of play.

The problem was all the other things a goalkeeper is supposed to do. Things like commanding the box, catching crosses, organising the defence, and maybe most importantly - stopping shots. He wasn't useless, but he had major weaknesses with all those things.
