Clemence Urges Hammers Keeper To Forget Mistakes
Posted on 07. Oct, 2008 by Milox in Premiership
England goalkeeping coach Ray Clemence has told West Ham stopper Robert Green to bounce back from his error-strewn performance against Bolton on Saturday.
Green was at fault for the Trotters opener, dropping a routine catch for Kevin Davies to score, and failed to cling on to a low shot which allowed Gary Cahill to bundle the ball home soon after.
His miserable afternoon was compounded when he was beaten by a 30-yard Matt Taylor free kick near to full time.
It was arguably Green’s worst performance in an otherwise consistent spell for the Hammers, but Clemence urged the 28-year-old to forget about it and move on.
“Robert Green has been playing well all season. Unfortunately he made a couple of errors but that happens to goalkeepers,” Clemence said of David James’ understudy for England.
“You have got to have broad shoulders. You have got to remember you are a quality goalkeeper and carry on.”
