Menace Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 He used to get exposed on getting beaten near post quite a lot at Arsenal, it still happens. Absolutely mental if we sign this guy for what I'd expect £10m / £100K+ a week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Most likely aye. £5M loan fee £5M in wages for a subpar keeper for the year. Pretty nuts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Think he'll go to a newly-promoted club or one of the Old Firm this summer. Think the half dozen games or so he had when Pope first got injured has made up peoples minds on him. He's not brilliant but he's not been half as bad as made out since then. Certainly no worse than Pope, but you have at least got a keeper who'll help you play out. We need two keepers this summer though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of rancid business done last summer. Let's hope the club and the players involved can turn it around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Good God lads. Not everything about the summer has to be viewed with such disdain. We needed a backup goalie and that's what he is. Even they cost money, unfortunately. We could easily have ended up with someone worse for that position. He's a bit rubbish but he isn't Dubravka 23/24 bad. Done fine in the cups and made the difference in Round 3 especially. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMcQuillan Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Was beaten by a very decent strike at the near post. Saved a penalty (again), unlucky that Murphy was slow to react. Made a couple of excellent saves. N-O reaction basically that he shouldn’t be paid actual money as a salary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good keeper saves their first goal, simply by being positioned better and being a step across to his left. Keepers shouldn't get beaten at their near post like that. The rest I tend to agree with.

JP Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I've noticed Ramsdale's game is always chaos. Every movement is chaotic . It's almost like he doesn't know his angles as something can be 5-10 yards wide and he will scramble a sprint across his goal to still dive to cover it.

1881 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 He seems a really decent bloke who really cares, but the first rule of goalkeeping is to make the goal seem as small as possible to the attacker. Positioning, coming off your line and staying upright and as big as possible for as long as possible all help. He does not seem to be particularly good at any of these and the amount of times he ends up on his knees or on the deck wherever the shot has gone is crazy. Also he seems to have an odd habit of occasionally diving too soon or diving too late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Hopefully that his last game for us, he's just not good enough and not on Pope's level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for his ability I think Dubs 25/26 is better than him never mind 23/24. Wasn’t a fan before he came but he’s been worse than I thought TBH. Anything goal bound feels like it’s going in so far.

The College Dropout Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Dubs last season was better than Ramsdale this season. If we win the FA Cup that doesn’t matter mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he takes a step to his left he leaves the rest of the goal wide open. His positioning was fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Butcher Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I'd choose Pope over Ramsdale every single time. Pope might make mistakes, but Ramsdale doesn't inspire confidence at all imo. Pope at least dominates his area and the defenders will always know he's there. Can't say the same about Ramsdale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Prontonise Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) Pope is by far the better keeper despite his flaws. Ramsdale is awful imo. Edited February 25 by El Prontonise Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 It's a jarring experience to watch. He's literally a second or two behind where Pope would be when coming out of goal. Even though he gets the ball, there's a moment of panic where you think "where's Ramsdale?" Similar thing with crosses. It's a lot of defending to do with Ramsdale there. I forgot about the FA Cup mistake tbh. It's that type of delay which is constant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make the striker try to go across you rather than slip it into your near post. A goalkeeper never wants to be beaten like how he was for that 1st goal.

The College Dropout Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 5 minites to go in the FA Cup final we are level. Heading to pens. Do we stick with Pope or bring on Ramsdale for the shootout? From memory Pope’s record is decent/good. But Ramsdale has been great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
