I mentioned earlier that I would have given Etheridge six for yesterday's game - that's not with the intention of being critical of him in any way, but that's what I think someone who is good at what they do should have when they have as easy a game as he did yesterday.
Sorry I missed your giving him a six, our postings must have crossed.
There you go again though. There is no such thing as an easy game in my opinion.
Without full concentration for 90 minutes, you will fail whether an outfield player or in goal, more importantly if you are in goal actually.

His application yesterday was faultless.
