Mole_Toonfan Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Worst keeper I've ever seen and I've never even seen him. Shocking. Got to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 He just needs one of those games which builds his confidence and he'll be away. Blobby went on a run because 2-3 games everything was hit straight at him and made him look good. From then his confidence grew and he actually put in a couple of decent performances to match the praise he was getting. Sometimes you get that game instantly like Krul, others have to wait. Rafa has seen something in him and this season is perfect for any player coming in needing to adjust. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree for an outfield player, but if we were playing against a lot of teams in this league we could have got punished today for his flapping. I'm not sure we can afford to fuck about when playing away from home against physical teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I didn't see the game at all, other than the goal and some brief highlights but the reports make this a huge concern, we've gotten away with it so far, but he's going to start costing us goals, games and points soon unless he picks it up. We can't afford to wait for a keeper to get in form, we've got an adequate replacement along with a quality keeper soon to return from injury surely. I would make the change now before it costs us.

Conjo Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 It´s not a fucking huge concern. Chill the fuck out. He was the best keeper in Belgium last season. He hasn´t cost us any goals so far. Let him come good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Banaloona Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 David De Gea wasn't brilliant in his first 6 months either. Took him a while to settle too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Takes time for a keeper to get a good understanding with his back four. You've got to give him at least six months to get settled before making a judgement imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 He's also not having the 'benefit' of facing a barrage of shots at him like Elliot and Darlow when they first got their chance so it's not like he can make 5-6 saves to make him look good. He'll be fine imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Time Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 It´s not a f***ing huge concern. Chill the f*** out. He was the best keeper in Belgium last season. He hasn´t cost us any goals so far. Let him come good. More to do with the shit quality of opposition than anything else. I do agree he needs time, but he does look pretty turd at the moment.

Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Surely he can't carry on as our number 1. Going to cost us big time soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Play Darlow in the cup game, depending on his performance should depend if he replaces Sels for the next game I'm all for giving players a chance but hes looked really dodgy in every game including pre season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 concerns are that he'd already been identified as a bit of a flapper rather than a catcher in belgium, before he had even played for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiston Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 concerns are that he'd already been identified as a bit of a flapper rather than a catcher in belgium, before he had even played for us. No different to Elliot and Darlow though, both very poor in the air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I've thought hes looked dodgy as fuck since his very first pre-season game and I would prefer Darlow but that's not to say he wont improve once he adjusts and gets his mistakes coached out of him. Would have rather have started with Darlow though, knows the league and performed well for us at the end of last season in the prem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 From the 4 minutes of highlights I have seen of our last 3 games and from the Fulham game. He looks a bit nervous and shit at dealing with crosses. Has palmed shots straight to the opposition on 3 occasions, I think. Bit hard to judge how good/bad he is, based on the Fulham game and very limited highlights, though. It is a bit of a worry, that it is being discussed by Rafa and the media, though.

Kanj Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 When has any keeper, esp a young one looked perfect between the posts when going to new a club in a new league? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Seems as though you could sign Jimmy the spastic from South Park and you wouldn't be allowed to write him off until he's had a run of 15 straight games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
