He had a good game tonight, and did well in the shootout (unlucky not to save two more he guessed direction-wise)
Distribution wise he remains very poor with his feet. Has very poor technique, takes a long time to control a ball and telegraphs what he's thinking of doing next while he does it. Has very little accuracy at all over middle to long distances with his feet.
His strengths aside from the reflex saves and penalty shootouts seems to be his character (that includes letting poor performances/mistakes bouncing off him, as well as being a good influence in the dressing room and a training partner for the best keeper in the world). He's a decent number 2 but not much more. But that's the nature of number 2s, they aren't regulars at top clubs for a reason. Some, like Reina for example, are no longer at the same level. Some, like Adrian, never were.
The 'name a better number 2' is a bad cliche though. Romero (and maybe Henderson), Bravo, Caballero probably (although he's waning fast). Whisper it but Kepa could be also be added here (if he ever recovers mentally from playing in a side that concedes clear chances and set pieces so often it seems deliberate - assume he leaves though).
