I mean, he's not a bad keeper but when Ange came in someone should have said, "hey, wait a minute. He's totally unsuited to the way we'll play" and signed a replacement.

He's being asked to a job he simply isn't capable of and for other reasons, avoiding the back and forths on that subject, that simply isn't going to change even temporarily to accommodate his nibs.
Joe Hart did ok under Ange...

I saw something I didn’t like in Forster yesterday. After son came off he handed the captains armband to gray to pass on to Forster.
After the 6th goal went in, he took off the armband and threw it to the ground. Bergvall saw what happened (appeared to argue with him) and then had to run half the pitch and hand it to kulu.

Wow , I hope that is clarified by Ange because it’s pathetic behaviour.

Heard Pardew talk about him on the radio yesterday, and how as his ex manager he knew him really well, and the part that surprised me was that he said Fras isn’t a man who excuses confidence and is actually quite brittle. He takes a lot to heart. When he’s filled with confidence from being in form he’s great, but if he makes a mistake it’s all undone and he really questions and doubts himself.

The very fact that Fraser Forster was wearing our captain's armband for any amount of time says it all about the state of this squad.
That our captain and two vice captains weren't playing so the backup goalkeeper who is the oldest, most experienced player while only Kulusevski is longer at Spurs than him from the squad yesterday got captain's armband which is completely normal?
Yeah, says it all.

Should Forster play the next game if he is ready ? ... I mean... with Austin's MOTM performance today and Kinsky coming in ? ...

I rate his experience and shot stopping-skills... but that's about it.

I’d say no, Austin for Wednesday and then Kinsky until Vicario is back and if he’s doing well then keep him in.

No way I’m dropping kinky straight in with the holes we’ve got in our back four, last thing you want is him coming in and being on the end of a pasting.
Young lad, new team, new league, let’s ease him in gently, Forster for me on Wednesday purely for experience and Austin for the weekend game.

There's experience and there's the experience of being on the end of a pasting.

I'd be shocked if Kinsky doesn't start tonight.

I think he will as well. Ange didn't shoot it down and hes been playing league football.

No one's going to blame him if Liverpool are better than us. On the flip side he might showcase his skills like vicario did in that Chelsea game.
