Is it just rustiness? I think he never expected to start and now that it happens that we actually need him, he is absolutely terrorized. He is completely lost, I won't lie, whenever the ball comes near him I expect him to do something dumb.
Padelli is a fine keeper. But you got the mental aspect right.
This is the toughest stretch of games we'll have all season long and it's up to Padelli now. Handanovic had a monumental season so far that's been underrated here but the entire team is aware that without Handanovic we're probably seveal points less in the standings. Padelli hasn't been a first choice keeper for 3 years and GKs, like strikers, work on confidence. And you don't gain confidence during the training sessions.
