Club should raise absolute hell if a move goes through. He looked pretty dodgy with crosses in the two Spurs games...think he'd struggle in English football atm.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Was better on Saturday. But you can tell his confidence is through the floor and that his defenders have very little faith in him. A poor signing, misjudged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, the whole back four seem to shit themselves every time the ball goes between them and the keeper. They have no idea if he's going to come for it or not. He doesn't command his area well at all. I'd genuinely rather we had Guzan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the key for me - defence looks shaky at times as a result of lack of confidence in their keeper . We will be a far better team with a decent experienced keeper .

Stevo985 Posted February 27, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 27, 2017 Was furious when he got fouled by Bent on Saturday. He got away with it because it was a foul, but he went up so cautiously and tried to punch it even though it was dropping right on top of him. Any keeper worth his salt would have gone up and claimed that. And if bent had the audacity to challenge him then he's get bounced off. So weak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much flapping - I like a keeper to come and catch the ball and it that means clearing all before him so be it - keepers who flap and punch don't inspire confidence.

Vive_La_Villa Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 He is scared to come off his line. Thats the biggest problem. Its his first clean sheet so hopefully gives him some confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah true. Weirdly, he's Gent's record signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say big, I mean he's built like a tall heavyweight. I think it's confidence, because he was imposing against Spurs way back when. Made a mistake in his next game, has completely lost the plot since. Which goes against everything we heard about him beforehand. P.S. You were right Ben, he IS worse than Bunn. At least right now. Which is astonishing. Edited February 27, 2017 by dont_do_it_doug. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I remember it was odd they rejected the appeal. I'm sure he wasn't a million miles away from meeting the criteria. Oh well all in the past now.

Vive_La_Villa Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I look at how Man U's other keeper looked in his first season for hope this lad comes good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I think the punching thing (although some keepers do prefer doing it) is often a confidence issue. Just look at Fraser Forster - big, solid keeper but is currently punching anything he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
