KMitch Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 3 minutes ago, the_eristic said: Yeah, said in the match thread he's started to come for it, changes his mind halfway there, tries to back up and just strands himself. Much like the backpass he could've dealt with the other week, can't be caught in two minds, either go or don't. Same... Some will still blame Tuanzebe though, because he's not our player...

If he starts in FA cup you suspect Martinez will certainly be on the bench in future so that will be one lesson for the manager perhaps. I think the first 3 went in the same spot. If he dives that side he probably saves them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancvillan Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Backup goalie sitting behind second string centre backs keeps European Champions at bay despite them bringing on newly signed £100 million striker, and yet the majority of comments are about the fact that he dived too early in the penalty shoot out. I'd say VT is plumbing new depths but I've spent time in the AEG thread. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most comments I've seen from neutrals have been that he was shit in the shoot-out too, it's far from just a VT thing, he was just a bit shit last night and unfortunately showed that he isn't a Premier League standard GK.

YLN Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) I don't think he could have punched the cross for the chelsea goal. It's a great ball in and he's never getting there. Maybe his positioning for the shot is affected by him considering coming and stopping, but i don't think he's saving it either The only thing is that his thought about coming to punch affected the defenders and they were in two minds about whether to leave it. But he's not getting anywhere near the cross or the shot. It's the creating indecision in the minds of defenders though that means he's not good enough for this level unfortunately Edited September 23, 2021 by YLN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Big lol at people claiming he is shit as if being a top half championship level keeper is anything to be embarrassed by. We need to improve our back up keeper position obviously but Steer is far far far from being a ‘shit’ goalie. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the creating indecision in the minds of defenders though that means he's not good enough for this level unfortunately I agree the hesitation may have affected the defenders, but he absolutely could have claimed it or punched the ball away. Look at his initial positioning compared to where Werner's header was. You don't think he could have made it to the edge of the 6yard box in two seconds? Let's not forget that although it was a great cross, it's not like it was whipped in at pace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-k Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Just watched back the shootout. To be fair, he wasn't really diving that early, it just looked comical because of the manner of the dives and the fact they were to the wrong side. He wasn't far off saving James' pen and in real time I thought he was going to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 He was a third choice keeper up until Heaton went, more or less - he's not bad, he's not particularly good, just solid enough and as good as we need for the role, really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't come for those. The cross never enters the six yard box, and a moment before, it was at the penalty spot. If it is crossed from the wing then yeah the six yard box is somewhere the keeper should be punching, but not from where the cross came here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nepal_villan Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Dont get this. Thought we got Olsen so Steer could be 3rd choice and Sinisalo could go out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that Steer wants to play football again. Wouldnt be much chance being a third choice behind Martinez and Olsen. He's 29 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
