Ainsley Maitland-Niles

Was it?

I'm guessing you didn't see Joe Hart's breakdown of it then?

I did, and he gave a good insight into the issues he had, but I think they both also concluded that you'd expect a keeper of his ability to save it, I tend to agree, it wasn't hit overly hard, it wasn't in the corner of the goal, it went under his arm and you could see he was disappointed himself - which is telling

Pretty sure Joe Hart basically said the opposite of that, and when Murphy tried to claim otherwise Hart pretty much corrected him.

I think Pickford's disappointment was more that he almost saved it despite it being a low probability of doing so.

[Bumble]

Similar shots have led to goals in the past two games, down low to his left, not exactly in the corner.

Might be nothing to read into it. Or there may be.

[Shogun]

Fired into the ether then. Ended the game with him on the bench and Rohl/Garner as fullbacks.

[AjaxAndy]

Thought Rohl had a decent game, and maybe long term he might be an option there. AMN hasn't covered himself in glory recently so quite happy to let Merlin get more experience there.

Not sure if he was at fault for the goal tbh, but did some good stuff outside of that.

[Gash]

Didn't think Rohl was decent, was constantly out of position and they got in behind him umpteen times. There was even one point where he was in the left midfield chasing after the ball.

Not his fault as he's been thrown into it but for all AMN hasn't been brilliant he should still be starting.

Maybe decent was the wrong word... He looked better than he has previously there, and had some good moments defensively and got forward well.

I was thinking more along the lines of it's the first time I've seen him there where I saw some potential for him becoming an RB if he continued to be given opportunities there to develop.

[Kerryblueboy]

Look at arsenal’s second goal yesterday Rohl sprinted into midfield pressing leaving no one behind Jake for the cross for all anm failings he should be put back in as he is our best option unless Moyes moves garner which he won’t

[brap2]

He was obviously shite what are we doing

[777Kidnappings]

He was obviously shite what are we doing

We decided signing signing the cheapest most last minute option was a better look than signing noone

[Audrey Horne]

Yeah he has never ever played there.

It's disgraceful tbh him and Jake having their careers potentially wrecked by playing in positions they don't know, getting rinsed every game.

It's doing my head in

[Shogun]

Apart from the Hull match I think AMN has done well tbh. The Chelsea first goal was Rohl's fault and I will die on this hill.

Rohl is going to be 25 and not know how to play in his supposed best position at this rate. Preferable to JOB but like persist with the fella we signed in the summer who has actually played RB for the last 5 years please.

Even then I think AMN has always wanted to be a CM.

[brap2]

Both shite

[Granite]

If you’re buying £3m players in 2026, you’re not a serious club.

[Cozzie]

He's crap but still the best option we have.

It's a cursed position that we will never sort out.
