Forster might’ve had a much needed kick up the backside!

After a sensational performance at the Etihad in midweek, Fraser Forster once again played a part in helping the team as a stunning save against Jermain Defoe was the main highlight of the goalkeeper’s performance.

He couldn’t have done anything really about Bournemouth’s goal and he’s always been able to control his back line with that big, booming voice.

Whether we should be excited by recent performances is debatable as inconsistency has been the Englishman’s major weakness.
