Bernd Leno: 2019/20 Performances

[pigge]

He is a fantastic shot stopper, one of the best, he also reads the game well knowing when to come charge out of the box, I hope though the new goalkeeping coach can work on his flapping on high balls, although I have seen some improvement in recent times, he still looks shaky punching balls when entering the fray.

The biggest disappointment is distribution, either too slow when releasing for pass out from the back or his long balls are pretty shocking, seldom does he land the ball in a decent channel to benefit our attackers,
Just needs a tweak and this guy could be legit elite.

I feel like he often look to get a quick pass to start an attack. Usually it's zoomed in on him so you can't see, but i get the feeling that players might not always be in a good spot/position to use it.
I do agree that it doesn't feel like he distribute it well though.

Interesting to read Lehman's view on him - fantastic shot stopper, generally good decision maker but needs to be forceful and vocal in arranging the defence in front of him.

I'd probably go with that, he's a little too passive when really need a leader at the back. Still time to work on that side of his game though (and tbf can't legislate for some of the performances in front of him recently, enough to make a grown man weep)

 

[Hleb's Sirush]

Sure there are a few things he can improve on, but as of now with half the season gone, he is currently without a shadow of doubt our player of the season.

With Arteta starting now, hopefully we won't rely on Leno as much to bail us out.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Sure, he can work on his authority, and probably will be better as he is young for a goalkeeper and have his prime years ahead of him but to let that overshadow his strengths is insane. No names given tho

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

His interviews seems to only get worse. No wonder defenders in front of him look confused out there.

That save against Liverpool Wilson before end of game was fantastic. Good to see in last 2 games he only faced 3 shots on target.

But he worse than Martinez and makes the defence shaky!!

Glad to see this bumped up. Was thinking it's probably still in some odd pages.

What a quality keeper. The club form is the only reason he is not held to the same esteem as the likes of Ederson and Alisson. Leno has improved since joining us, amidst the adversity. His shop stopping is unquestionable, but he has also improved his command of the box and his handling. The ability to play out is also extremely valuable.

Give him a new contract now.

Got killed when I said Leno was a fantastic keeper before he joined us, just another one to add to my list of correct shouts.

The more I see that De Bruyne save, the better it gets.


One of the saves of the season, KDB absolutely smashed it. Unreal stop.

I thought the one he did yesterday to deny Harry Wilson was class, couldn't see and it was some shot from Wilson.

Thank God the goal from the deflection didn't count.

This is filth as well.

The only “Elite” player we currently have

 

[El Granit-Coq]

I member people saying he is ****

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Mustafi and Sokratis should thank the gods that they don't have Lehmann behind them. They'd be dead by now.

That being said, Lehmann would have been in the asylum with those two in front.

Leno is our perfect stoic for trying times.

You'd fancy Leno to save 75% of shots faced so limiting the opposition to a small handful of chances means we'd see a fair amount of clean sheets, good news all round tbh.

Isn't that sort of smut banned here?
