From reading online opinion it’s safe to say that this season Betinelli hasn’t performed as well as expected of a keeper with his experience. I’ve had mixed feelings as I’ve seen him blamed a few times for things that weren’t cut and dry, but he’s only getting blamed for those incidents because he has conceded dubious goals so inevitably the spotlight falls on him.
However, I came across this thread on Twitter (retweeted by the excellent goalkeepers union podcast) which seems to point towards him underperforming in a number of situations when you look at the graphics. Is he just having a poor season? Is he a victim of our tactics? Bad luck playing a part? Other issues? I can’t help think in typical Boro style he’ll turn up somewhere in the championship next season and be a different player!
