Thought Jussi had an average game. Did OK. Awful parry into the middle of the six yard box in the first half. Flapped at Aguero's header.

Made a couple of very decent saves.

Overall average. He's had much better games.

I mean he didn't play badly but he certainly could have done better with Aguero's header. He most certainly didn't stand out on Saturday.
Aguero's header was near enough on the line before he even had a chance to spring. If he had managed to claw it backwards off of the line it would have been one of the saves of the season. He was without a doubt, as always, one of our better players

Now, as you know, I'm not one of Jussi's biggest fans, but I'd lay no blame for that goal with him at all. Any finger pointing for that goal should be at the guy (no not Demel) who looked like he should be marking Aguerro but switched off and left him in far too much space just yards from goal with a free header...

That said it was a normal Jussi performance for me, one very good save and one weak parry/block back into the danger zone are what I remember from him

My favourite Jussi moment was Negrado's shot which lashed against the bar. Jussi was on his knees as the ball was struck.

I don't give a f**k if we're playing Man City or Mansfield, you play with a striker when you're at home, you should do anywhere, Spurs was a one off in that sense. It was naive and stupid, we got what we deserved, I only hope we learn from this.
Which of our "strikers" would you have played?
The only fit one, or one of the others?

He got two hands to it?

It was a header from a standing jump about 10-12 yards out. Hardly a bullet!

I don't even come to criticise him but if I'm overly critical you're overly praising.

It is not because of Jussy, but who had to go to marking on Aguero, has been free to strike the ball
