I know in my previous post about Ben Foster I said that he would probably make a few bad mistakes in his first games but Sir Alex should stick with him and let him gain confidence…but even I am having trouble agreeing with that advice now.
Foster’s performance in the Community Shield yesterday was, in my opinion, a shocker. I can’t remember one back pass that he didn’t slice off into the stands, or get the ball stuck under his feet and almost get caught in possession.
Even the few saves he had to make, from average long distance shots, he managed to spill; luckily there were no Chelsea players running on. He did make one decent save to deny Drogba, but everything else he did was suspect.
He almost always stayed at home on corners allowing Chelsea free reign in the 6 yard box; looking like they were going to score from every corner.
I still have to stick by my original post and say that Ferguson has got stick with him, but I think if he doesn’t perform in the next 2 or 3 games he will have blown his chance big time.
