Adrian conceded 4 last night. I always said Randolph was better than him. If only people listened
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Not to be outdone by Adrian, Randolph concedes 5 today.
Don't think he was at fault for any, to be fair. Arsenal were walking through the West Ham defence in the latter stages of the 2nd half.
Agreed. West Ham defence was MIA throughout the game. That Sanchez finish for the 5th was unbelievable though. He made a mug of Randolph and would have for any other keeper. Delightful stuff.Originally Posted by johnnyc
They shouldn't have let O'Brien go.
I'm in Asia and didn't see anything but Twitter quotes Rio Ferdinand saying Randolph was excellent. Defence was awol and without hits have been ten.
A shocker by Randolph at Anfield gifts Liverpool an equaliser. 2-2.
Taxi for Randolph!!
Literally gave Liverpool their equaliser, went for a cross that was going to no one and dropped it to Origi. Eugh.
cracking save from Randolph just there. World class.
Savage stop, I was sure it was flying in.
Randolph doesn't do half measures.
70: SAVE!!! Randolph makes up for his error with a splendid one-handed stop. Henderson lines one up from 30 yards out and catches with the same oomph as his goal against Chelsea earlier this season. It's in the top corner until Randolph flies across to tip it over the bar. Stunner.
Watching Randolph in the post match interview was heartwrenching. He seemed devastated. Yes it was a mistake but I'd say he's still in with a good shout of keeping his place.
Really really good save. Puts to bed the myth that he's not agile. Poor mistake (though I like a keeper who always looks to catch), great save. I love seeing a keeper react well after an error, that was a special reaction. Good man.
Save of the season according to Phil Neville on motd 2.
Expect this level of consistent inconsistencies from him.
Yes sir, thank you sir.
On top of the error against Tottenham I do think it's a bit of a worry but it's a big plus that he's making some genuinely world class saves, an area in which I would have had Westwood well ahead of him. He did get away with a bit of a clanger in Serbia too which would have been fatal. Bilic seemed very forgiving anyway, saying he did well both before and after the mistake and it's just the nature of being a goalkeeper.

Somehow I have watched all of his last 4 or 5 games. He has been generally excellent throughout with one blooper reel mistake and only one other moment of culpability that I can think of during that stretch (v Spurs). He's had 2 MOTM performances in that run and 3-4 genuinely world class saves. I don't think it's right to allow a narrative of inconsistency to be pushed.
I think he's been pretty consistent for us overall which is obviously the most important thing, but it's a bit of a concern that he's making mistakes fairly regularly. He hasn't played that many games relatively speaking so the number of poor enough errors are definitely accumulating at a bit too high a rate for my liking.
You could add the goal he conceded against Martial at the end of last season to list above too, whatever about goals that he might have done better with, I think these four were all basic mistakes on his part over a short enough period considering the amount of game time he's had.

Four?
I don't agree that he's making mistakes fairly regularly (although he's making top drawer saves very regularly). In 9 games this season we've both only been able to recall two goals that can be attributed to him (1 mistake and 1 should have done better). I don't think that supports a charge of inconsistency.
