Ali Ahamada with a week to forget

Goalkeepers will always make mistakes, it happens, it’s part of football, but Toulouse goalkeeper Ali Ahamada will want to forget this weekend as quickly as possible. Saturday’s shocking 5-0 defeat to Rennes was helped in part by one of the worst goalkeeping performances you will ever see. Blunders are part of the game, but Ahamada enjoyed a season’s worth of gaffs in 90 minutes.
Two goals were cause by simply mis-judging the flight of the ball. The third resulted in a goal from a Rennes free-kick after Ahamada handled the ball outside the box, the fourth came from a save that failed to clear the box, he tried to recover and ended up on the floor as Nelson Oliveira fired it into the net.

However the former France U-21 keeper saved the best to last. Defender Aymen Abdennour looked to pass the ball back to the ‘keeper but Ahamada had rushed out of his goal to help, neither player knew what was going on and before they knew it the pass had gone past Ahamada and Oliveira had an empty net to put the ball into.

Just an absolutely baffling performance from the 22-year old, resulting in a Squawka performance score of minus 106 and will back up some feelings that he will never be the international goalkeeper that his early form had promised. Before this game he had only conceded 11 goals this season, now up to 16 but his average goal conceded rate is still down at 1.45. Compared to highly-rated Mexican Guillermo Ochoa at 1.36, it shows that Ahamada still has ability, a lot will depend on how he reacts to this performance.
