Luckily there is a two week international break following next weeks game. So that’s 3 weeks where we play 1 game. Hopefully he only misses a couple of fixtures as a result.
Goalkeeper is an important player, but I trust a lot in Roberto also. Roberto played well, he’s a very good goalkeeper and we will see what will happen with Lukasz’s injury and how many weeks he will be out
I watched the game too. His kicking was poor but Fab has had his moments too. People are so quick to put players down. Funny how Adrian, now he's gone, has become so good when he was often put down on here.

That sounds just like some only a few weeks back re Cresswell...Now he's a goal machine! Sanchez on the other hand deserves all the grief he gets!
I think Roberto started very poorly with his kicking, but that settled and he made a couple of decent stops. He’s clearly not as good as Fab, but I’m sure he’ll be fine as a deputy.

And, to be fair, other than Ederson, I don't think any keeper is better than Fab currently in the PL.
Our U23 keeper is Joseph Anang, and he was definitely behind Nathan Trott in the pecking order last season. Trott is on loan at AFC Wimbledon, made 8 appearances. He wasn't their #1 at the start of the season but has now taken over. I doubt they'd recall him (I'm not sure that we're even allowed outside of transfer windows) for 2 months.

I think you can recall (although in any case I wouldn't want to, as he seems to be doing well there) if it's a genuine emergency. There seem to be special rules for GKs.
(Just thinking about it I really wouldn't want him recalled because if he came back and played for us, then that would be his 'two clubs' done. What would he do when Fab's fit and playing again. Wimbledon wouldn't want him back. So he'd be stuck back in the U23s)

Is that your own view, or has there been something from the club?
Last I saw, Pelle was saying the medical bods would get involved tomorrow.

He seems quite definite (Steinberg).
Disappointing.

Which means we're looking at Roberto / Martin for:
Palace H, Everton A, Blunts H, Newcastle H, Burnley A, Spurs H, Chelsea A
Don’t understand why our u23 can’t be considered - roberto doesn’t inspire confidence at all
