PaddytheVillan Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Dropped the ball twice, including one hat trickled out and they hit the crossbar in the second minute. Made one very good save. Makes the defence nervy and is not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 He's just terrible - no doubting that! He needs to be replaced ASAP and sold back to some obscure Scandinavian team at our earliest convenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did well for the saves in the 1st half This is Nyland all over. People will point out the good saves he makes, today for instance he made a truly brilliant save, but it doesn't make up for his overall game, he is a keeper you expect a few saves. It's like playing golf, now I'm shit at golf but every now and then I'll put a 200 yard approach within 2 inches of the hole. That sort of shot happens 5 times for every 100 attempts with the others going out of bounds. That's Nyland to a tee (crap pun intended), the good is far outweighed by the bad.

matteyp Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) He needs to figure out how to deal with crosses/corners and command his box. If our keeper doesn't do that then he really isn't much use. He could possibly figure that out on loan somewhere. His distribution is good and all the other aspects of his game are mostly fine. I think he makes the defence look worse than they are. Edited December 29, 2018 by matteyp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 He could be the best shot stopper in the world and it still wouldn’t make up for the basic lack in commanding his box. Constantly looks timid and an accident waiting to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) Pure crap. Never has a keeper made me as nervous in my 40 years next week like him. i went today and apart from one save makes too many errors today and every week. If anyone wants saty he saved a penalty other day and Kept clean sheet. Wow? It was poor penalty and Enkleman once saved a penalty for us and he’s as shit as Nyland is. He is worst keeper I have ever seen at Villa and there has been some absolute crap in my time cant wait see Kalinic in goal. But both full backs need replacing quickly too lol Edited December 29, 2018 by Villan4Life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Sam Johnstone was pretty horrific I'm his first season (debut aside), but that season was a write off and he was able to improve. We don't have that luxury this season as we can't afford many slip ups, so he has to be replaced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted December 29, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 29, 2018 I agree with others. You would EXPECT a number of spectacular looking saves from ANY professional keeper. There are always going to be tip overs, flinging accross the goal to push something wide, the odd reflex save. You are not going to get out of the amateur ranks without some ability to do that. But to be good at this level you need to dominate the box, bully defenders and very rarely spill things. These are his downfall. None of the great saves he has made I have looked at and thought the save was so exceptional I couldn't see any keeper possibly making them.

That would make him the 6th most expensive goalkeeper in Championship history (Johnstone, Kalinic and Gollini being 3 of the keepers ahead of him in that respect) Fee is a cop out. He is an expensive signing for a goalkeeper at this level. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Johnstone didnt make any diving saves in his first 6 months, but we still went back in for him the following year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
