I don’t think Horvath had a chance once it left his foot, but I do agree with the comment he should be arranging his defense and wall better there. If Brannigan hadn’t shot he’d have probably been able to dribble 10 yards closer to goal as we were totally unprepared. Really poor goalkeeper, the injury to Alnwick hasn’t helped us. Mad to think he was playing in the Prem a few years ago.
He's 35/40 yards out, normally you'd say, let him shoot...

This isn't on Horvath. He's also never played a PL game and his signing is an indictment on our recent recruitment. Signed to play out from the back, which he can't do, and then within half a season is dropped to the bench for the bloke he was supposed to replace. Like so many of our signings, he didn't improve the side, and will be on big wages for another 2 seasons.
