I just dont get this arguement, you dont get a multitude of chances at the top level. Which is why you need to make the most of what we do create. The odd game will always go by with frustration. But enough is being created for us to do better. On the plus side atleast Pellè was in decent goalscoring positions this week. But he has to do better. And Im talking about his allround game, not just composure infront of goal.
-
Id expect composure ffs, other parts of his game are half decent but has he scored a goal he hasnt absolutely wellied ?! I coach lads with more experience than him.
-
As I said from day one, lad lacks composure
-

And lets be honest, we got VERY lucky over the summer, anyone that thinks that transfer model is sustainable for any amount of time is at best ill informed. -

Exactly, IF we are looking at trying to establish ourselves as a name that will attempt to try and break into that top four then we should realistically be looking to pay between 60-90k for most of our better players. Id be surprised if we were not already paying around the 50-60k mark for top earners anyway. As for that price bracket Ill be surprised if we arent willing to pay those sorts of wages given that we are more than flirting around attempting to keep Toby permanently. I cant get too excited with this though, as always I dont expect the club or Clyne would agree in the early stages and unfortunately Clyne holds most of the cards right now. -
No shots are born equal bear, now bugger off and use the bear only forum, you know the rules

Funny how this threads gone quiet after he was proven to not be too bad isnt it ?
-
As good as Morgan is Pogba is an entirely different level, and only young still
-
I did the maths quick Still bad reading for the forster bashers
-
So like I said, blind to the ratio of saves to shots then....
-
Well feel free to go out and look for those more detailed analysis. Ive managed to find the stats to answer the question of the OP (and I fully expect him to ignore it). Which show me what I knew, that Forster isnt anywhere near as bad a keeper as people are making out. This all depends on how much you want to look into things anyway, each and every goal will habe someone making a mistake of some description at some point, for instance Liverpools first being Davis not closing down or the second being attributed to Morgans poor pass or Targetts slip. Funnily enough as a online fanbase we seem to be very picky as to where our overall blame lies, as evidenced in every goal we concede somehow being blamed on forster or Guly being lambasted last season over a goal that in reality was the golden boy lallanas fault.
-
So are you blind to the fact he has a better saves to shots ratio then those considered the best in the prem aswell as his clean sheets then ?! Itll be nice to see you be positive about any of our players tbh
-
http://www.foxsports.com/foxsoccer/premierleague/stats?table=defensive&stat=goalsAgainstAvg#top He has a better save to shots ratio than Hart and Courtois who are the only ones in a reasonable comparison due to the low shots faced. Therefore he is doing pretty well all things considered. Time to start laying off the bloke and looking for things that arent there.
-
Quite obviously yes
-
Despite this, personally I saw enough decent balls in and around him to be able to do a better job of bringing others in. I never see him actually hold the ball up, just flicks. As per goalscoring, again there was enough delivery into the box to make more of yesterday. He shouldnt ever be the only one in goalscoring positions, but all too often he isnt either
-
A penalty is a set piece tbf
-
Which is what was widely reported at the time. Id say id was a shame that it caused many good players and a good manager to leave but in the end it all worked out for the best. I understood he reasons for leaving, just not his application of him leaving. Perhaps the new board were slow and naive in there early approach to things, and yes at the time I was vocally annoyed but they've sorted themself out and come out IMO smelling of roses. We dont know the state of play early after NCs leaving, so maybe there were reasons for their hesitance
-
He hasnt the composure to take the majority of his chances. So Im not sure Id want him near a set piece. I imagine he would just try to hit it as hard as he can as per usual
-
I just find it laughable that many find any reason to knock him, to talk about incorrect technique etc or apportion any blame for the first is plain daft. It was an incredible strike that he did well to get anywhere near ! The second, yes he may have done better, he got a hand to it, but Im not expecting much from a shot that took a deflection and was obscured by nearly 3 players. If you really wanted to point fingers then Davis failed to close Coutinho for the first (like he failed to close Shelvey) and Morgans poor pass and Targetts panic caused the second.
