Why is Theoklitos getting so much stick?

The way some are talking he was at fault for everything we did...........

I watched the highlights on canariesworld numerous times and this is my opinion............

(1) He was somewhat at fault for the first goal but the horrific backpass put him in real trouble where he was left in no mans land knowing he couldn't catch the ball.

Its a rare sitaution for keepers because most defenders have a brain bigger than a pea and don't try and lob the ball back to a keeper who can't catch it.

Semi may have the physical attributes for the Prem but he doesnt have the footballing brain for local Sunday morning football.

(2) The commentary suggested he could have done better on lisbies shot......... Having watched it again it wasn't a bad save, maybe he could have held it but the fact is our defence were turned inside out and no where when platt followed up.

Not sure how this was that terrible. He might have done a bit better but the shot was not exactly straight at him.

(3) This goal was more horrific defending......... keeper had no chance from point blank range.

(4) This was a fantastic free kick. Bad defending gave it away. Keeper had no chance.

(5) Again terrible defending from the the throw. The header was point blank range, not sure what he could do.

Watch this goal carefully and watch how Platt leaves Semi who just watches the whole thing like he doesn't care. Unreal.

(6) A Goss type volley that gave the keeper no chance, not sure how anyone could blame him for this?

(7) More horrific defending/missed tackles forced him to come into no mans land, not sure how its his fault so many people in front of him were so unbelieveably bad.



Again after watching all the goals carefully I don't get why Theoklitos is getting so much stick..............

Did he have a good game......... of course not.........but I don't think he deserves a lot of the blame which was clearly down to horrific defending.
