Aaron Ramsdale: return to Southampton confirmed

[Gawalls]

Pope has kept 5 clean sheets in 12 games this season where Ramsdale has 0 in 6.

And Pope fluffs the double digit amount of times Ramsdale passed it with pinpoint precision. Works both ways.

Ramsdale also made a fantastic save that stopped it being 2-3. He was not the reason we dropped points today. 

 

 

That throw he sent Elanga away with was superb. He's had a good game today but when people have a negative opinion it's hard to shift for a goalie. 

[Donut]

Bang average and should be back on the bench as soon as Pope is ready again. 

[Kid Icarus]

Probably my general dislike for him as a 'keeper influencing it, but I did immediately think "Pope would have saved that" on the free kick.

Depends what you look for in a keeper I suppose, I prefer a keepers primary skillset to be shot stopping personally. I suspect Howe will as well and put to pope straight back in when he's fit. 

[Dr Venkman]

He’s on his heels when the FK is struck. It’s bad goal keeping.

[St1pe]

Would be quite happy with Ramsdale as no2 for next season if we upgrade Pope.

The pace it was hit at wasn’t too fast, he would have got there 

Nah. It was a great hit by James, no keeper stops that without guessing slightly before it’s hit and Pope is reactive with his shot stopping for the most part.

I probably agree, but don't complain if Pope lets in any howlers. Because he's let a few in already this season. 

[jackyboy]

I think that Pope would have saved one of those 

[Kid Icarus]

Trying to remember Pope conceding from a direct free kick.

Agreed - Pope is better but has a howler in his game for sure. Also poor punching. We need an upgrade on both in the summer probably.

[Kanj]

Pope prob saves the  1 v 1 

[Ellis H]

The fact that he tried to save the Paedro one with his hand says it all. A top keeper is so vital.

[Dr Venkman]

Neither of them are good enough, like.

[Newcastle Fan]

Fucking leaks goals this guy, no wonder he got relegated so often.

He's also got better stats in goal prevention, ie goals conceded and clean sheets. You're right he has let a few howlers in this season but the stats so far say pope on a bad season is still better at stopping goals than Ramsdale. We've seen us hold a narrow lead and get over the line soon many times with pope but not so much with Ramsdale as it ends up in points dropped.

[SUPERTOON]

Wouldn’t keep him, even as backup.

That might be a reflection on the team rather than the keeper though.

He's gone down more times then my wife - at least once.

[Novocastrian]

He’s hopeless, we wanted him in but the experiment has failed.

Agreed but 6 clean sheets in 12 against 0 in 6. The team can't skew then that much.

I'd rather just judge him on what he does tbh. I don't think we should sign him permanently but he'll do as a loan back up. 

[Ronson333]

Even that Neto hand ball goal, most goalkeepers save that

[Colos Short and Curlies]

Pope maybe saves the free kick but on the other hand Ramsdale doesn't concede that brain fart against Marseilles.

 

The biggest thing with Ramsdale is that he seems slow when diving from a standing position.

 

See the Neto handball 'goal', he was on the same slow motion that he was for the second Spurs goal.

 

Thought he was decent enough today overall
