(I guess I should say 2 points. Anyhow, click on the link to see the goal. If they take the vids down, let me know and I'll try to find others.)
If you need any more proof that Paul Robinson is complete rubbish, today's Aston Villa-Tottenham match provided plenty. The guy shouldn't be the Spurs number one, yet alone England's.
The first goal is a complete joke. Robinson fails to secure the ball after catching it off a corner and after bouncing off Pascal Chimbonda's foot, it falls to Martin Laursen who slams it home. Ridiculous.
The second goal shouldn't have counted as Agbonlahor is clearly offside and makes contact with the ball. Anyhow, Robinson just stands around and watches the ball as it goes right past him and into the net. If it was a rocket of a shot, I'd understand, but it wasn't.
Not much could have been done about the third goal, but Robinson is a little too far out from the net. Agbonlahor belted it and Dawson was in the way, but a great keeper would have probably saved it.
The fourth goal was a great free kick by Craig Gardner, but the problem I have with Robinson on this one is that he jumps to his left, toward the wall, and basically gives himself no chance of making the save.
If the final score of this match was 4-2, I probably wouldn't be complaining, but for all four of those goals to go in is just unacceptable. At least the goals scored on Carson were more the fault of his keystone cop defense than anything else.
