Totally agree mate, Marshy had a poor game, but the loss isn't all his fault.

He's been so good for us the past few years that you have to forgive one bad performance, which ultimately he will learn from

It's not like our fans to be fickle mate is it. :lol: we'd be bottom if it wasn't for him at times this season.

Best goalkeeper I've seen in a CCFC shirt in the 37 years I've been a fan.

Head up high, Mr Marshall, because you are SUPERB.

Looking at it again I thought that Eto had managed to get back so he was behind Hazard when Hazard passed back to him, so not offside. They said this morning on Sky that the ball hit Eto on it's way into the net as he was lying on the floor ( having been pulverised by Gary Medel!) and he was offside at that time.

Fact is that the play shouldn't have got that far - ref should have blown his whistle when Eto first touched the ball.

Having said that, stupid,stupid thing to do by Marshall. Great goalie but yesterday was his worst game for us since the 5-4 debacle last season at Charlton where he was also culpable for three of their goals.

Don't agree sorry, he bounced the ball and was in control. Poor officiating, it was a foul. End of

Absolutely agree with you that it was a foul. But why does he need to bounce the ball, especailly with an opposing forward nearby? What if it had bounced off his foot giving Eto the chance to get the ball?

Absolutely no need to be bouncing the ball at all. Keep an eye on where the player is and just kick it without bouncing it first. Stuoid decision by Marshall. If there's a player near you, never let go of the ball unless you are kicking it or throwing it.

It's because he had every right to bounce the ball, he was in control of it

He can bounce it all day long as long as he's in control of it, which he was. It was a bad decision from the officials, not marshall. I've seen hundreds of keepers do it throughout the years. I dont understand how anyone can even contemplate laying blame on Marshall, he just did what any keeper does on the whole.

Martin you are correct, Marshall has been top drawer for us and has gained us points due to his performances.

He had a poor game yesterday and unfortunately for goalkeepers their mistakes are highlighted and usually result in goals conceded.

The first goal shouldn't have been allowed as agreed on Match of the Day and goals on Sunday.

I just hope Marshalls confidence hasn't been knocked too much, as he was poor after that event, let's hope he is back to his best for the next two big games, where Malky will have targeted for points :ayatollah:
