Czechlad Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 He is crazy. I like him. Extremely aggressive which almost gave Yeovil an open net, but then again his aggressiveness stopped a breakaway. His kicking was good. He had one terrible mis-kick which should have been punished, but other than that, he was hitting it to our attackers often. Nyland is still the #1 for me, but I think he can push Nyland. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Looked a bit overwhelmed at the end, not sure his centre backs were taking to him much. That’s something that needs to change if he’s going to make confident decisions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is not, then what was the point of loaning him? Especially if we were after Nyland the whole time. doesn't kick it long enough? not sure what a "steve bruce kind of keeper" is to be honest the loan to buy suggests he's a cash in option 2/3 years down the line, if he plays cup games and we make a profit on him happy days, if he comes good and breaks through as number 1 even better, modern football transfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Exciting keeper. In both senses of the word. But I like him, very mobile, not afraid to get out of his box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thug Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Scared of the striker. Can't catch. Runs out for everything, even when he's not sure he'll get there. But his kicking ain't bad. Must do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 last loan he conceded 5 in his first game followed by 5 clean sheets helping them stay up, maybe some debut jitters 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Good and bad debut. Won't draw any big conclusions as debuts are never easy and he was playing behind a new defense constellation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I'm sure Bruce said that the keeper had a great debut. That penalty was awful and, for me, didn't rescue what looked like a very nervous debut. But, onwards and upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daweii Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Looks like a keeper acclimatising to his new surroundings. I don't know what fans were expecting, but it took Johnstone nigh on half a season to string together some decent performances and he's used to English football. Don't expect Moreira to come in and be perfect right away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted August 14, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2018 Weird performance. At times did things you expect of keepers without confidence losing their head - coming out too much at the wrong times, panicked decisions. Other times looked bizarrely unflustered. He could be very good once settled and reined in a bit. Or he could be a complete clown. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is we don’t have the luxury of giving half a season to a goalie to ‘acclimatise’. if a foreign keeper needs to acclimatise, then don’t get a foreign keeper. No point in sending the keeper you have out on loan then get two keepers who need to ‘feel their way in’ over half a season. Also the errors made were not acclimatising problems. 1. He was favourite to get to the ball when their striker went through one on one. He should have easily got there first and smothered it with his body, but he chickened out, and if not for Tuanzebe’s toe poke, it would have been a goal. 2. Again a ball into the area, should have jumped and caught it with his knees riding high so that the striker would be too scared to come in for a challenge. Instead the keeper looked scared of their striker and made a half arsed punch while looking the other way because he was scared. 3. Simple catch chance at head height, which he parried down to let it bounce before he caught it, again more worried about being smacked into by a striker. 4. Ran out to intercept a long ball which basically bounced over him. Our defender was on the way to deal with it. He had no business running for it. 5. Watch the replay of the penalty incident. Comes to punch a ball that he hardly jumped for and got nowhere near. these are not acclimatisation errors. This is poor decision making and quite frankly being scared. must do better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
