KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum What's happened to Doni?

How about that his challengers simply aren't up to his standard (regardless of how low you rate his standard as).

If either Jones or Doni came in, 1 or 2 blunders later you'd be begging for Pepe to be put back in. He's made a few blunders lately, costing up badly, but I wouldn't put either Jones or Doni in ahead of him, I don't have faith in either of them, especially Jones.

Why are they in the squad then? Whats the point in having more than one keeper if Reina is going to play every game no matter how many mistakes he makes...

He needs dropping, there is no doubt in my mind about that!

I agree about not having any faith in Brad Jones but Doni has Brazilian caps and has plenty of Serie A experience.

Reina has Spain caps and PL and La Liga experience. As I've said previously, remember that the grass is not always greener on the other side. In fact, it rarely is. If we had someone like Butland signed, then I'd be in favour of dropping Pepe. The fact is that we didn't sign a keeper in the summer, and were unable to offload either Jones or Doni, when both were expected to depart. They're in the squad because if Pepe gets injured or suspended then we need to not play Martin Skrtel in goal. That doesn't mean they're good enough, or as you seem to be suggesting, better than Pepe.

Spot on Bar

so you do agree that if we got a new goalie in Reina should be dropped?

Are you asking lumba or me? We won't be getting a new keeper until January at the earliest - and maybe not even then! By then Pepe could be in sparkling form, leaving fickle short-memoried fans with red faces. Then again, most probably wouldn't remember being over-critical, because they're the ones who've already forgotten hailing him as one of the best in the world a season or 2 ago..

I've never said they are better than Reina, I just can't understand why we persist in playing someone who keeps making mistakes!

Surely the point of a squad is to keep everyone on top form for fear of losing their place...

We should be looking to sign Butland or Stegen in January, for the money we could get for Reina I don't think it would cost us anything and we would be better off in my opinion.

Lumba. I don't think Reina should be dropped for Doni or Jones as I don't think they are good enough. Reina can still be a good goalie but his concentration is gone and I don't know if he needs a fresh challenge

Lads, I agree with what you're saying. Reina SHOULD have competition, and on current form, he SHOULD be dropped. But we don't have replacements who are good enough, so for me it's a non-issue. I'm not trying to defend his form, I just think some people need to gain a bit of perspective on the situation.

He should have competition for his place yeh.
