One game was all it took. Xabi Alonso watched Robert Sánchez against Fulham and Chelsea signed Emiliano Martínez three days later — £7.5m, two years, mentality monster, no block on Mike Penders.
The case isn't really about mistakes that lead to goals. It's what a loud, confident keeper does for a young back line and a crowd that goes quiet at the first sign of trouble.
Then Luton in the Carabao Cup, 2-0, Barco the best player on the pitch and Palmer continuing his resurgence.
The title talk has already started... Brighton on Sunday could tell us how realistic that is.
