Turkish Posted 17 December, 2014 Share Posted 17 December, 2014 well Les would wave his magic wand and do so , so why not a goal keeping coach? Forster should dominate a penalty area with his height and reach. it seems to me that he has lost his confidence completely You're obsessed with Les Reed pal, it's about the fifth time you've mentioned him today. For a man of your age it's not healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 17 December, 2014 Share Posted 17 December, 2014 But then you could apply the same measure to Long,Tadic,Mané,Gardos and even Pelle. We sold players for more than they were worth we bought other players for more than they're worth.....football economics eh.fair comment but if you get far more than your player is worth it is then bad economics to spend 12m on a forward who never has had a record for scoring goals. We had sold our goalscoring players and so it is common sense to buy a proven scorer who has some PL experience. I love Longs endeavor but his lack of goal scoring is a major problem. I am surprised though that last night he was not able to cause a L1 defence problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering you have mentioned him countless times since the summer being our saviour and the messiah, trust in Sir Les etc I thought I would give you a chance to carry on bigging him up.

max_saints Posted 21 December, 2014 Share Posted 21 December, 2014 thought he had a good game yesterday denying the likes of lukaku and barkley. didn't stand out but was made to work for his clean sheet with a couple of excellent stops. only weakness seems to be coming out and dealing with crosses which is surprising given his height.

Saint_clark Posted 21 December, 2014 Share Posted 21 December, 2014 Was only required to come out for a cross once yesterday and he dealt with it decisively, punching it well clear. Very reassuring to see that improving, hopefully it continues in games where teams are getting more balls into the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakovnetski Posted 21 December, 2014 Share Posted 21 December, 2014 there was another instance that he did not come out and we had to clear for a corner. that didnt amount to anything but it did look a bit wooly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely disagree. I've been one of his biggest critics over recent weeks but those were excellent corners and if he'd come out that far he risked getting left in no mans land.

Chez Posted 26 December, 2014 Share Posted 26 December, 2014 No idea why anyone would suggest the keeper should of saved the goal today, but at the same time I do think he has struggled since the Villa game with his decision making in terms of when to come and when not. He has been rather rooted to his line at times including today, although he was better in this game coming and punching on two occasions and hopefully is gradually getting his confidence back. When he does we will have a real keeper on our hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 27 December, 2014 Share Posted 27 December, 2014 (edited) Absolutely no chance with the goal. Not sure what Gardos was doing or who he was meant to be marking. Wanyama perhaps could have done better but it was powerful jump by Dann and he's absolutely massive. Decent game by Forster, though there were moments in the first half where he certainly hesitated, especially from open play. It helped somewhat that most Palace balls came in from the byline - think Forster struggles more with the earlier cross from deeper positions.

Redslo Posted 27 December, 2014 Share Posted 27 December, 2014 And he dint make mistakes today.

Window Cleaner Posted 27 December, 2014 Share Posted 27 December, 2014 guys. todays goal was clearly forsters fault. he should've positioned himself better And he should have told whoever arranges these things to knock off the shît weather, difficult day for keepers really, probably why Hart missed the cross for Albion's late goal and Toby got a free header. All that said I think we may well need to look at Victor's ability at corners when handing out the marking roles, he lost RvP a few weeks back and he lost Dann yesterday.

whelk Posted 28 December, 2014 Share Posted 28 December, 2014 Lol http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/dec/27/transfer-window-premier-league-fans-wishlists The obvious needs are a keeper and a striker. Petr Cech would be great, but Chelsea won’t let him go, so perhaps we should could go back to Southampton for Fraser Forster. Up front, Wilfried Bony for sure, and there’s a lot of talk about Gonzalo Higuaín. We need a central midfielder too. Kevin De Bruyne looks good but perhaps we could tempt James Milner from down the road. Priorities are getting some confidence – and a little guile wouldn’t go amiss, too.

Chickendippers Posted 28 December, 2014 Share Posted 28 December, 2014 The thing that impresses me about Forster is that, coming from Celtic, he is used to long periods of inactivity before being asked to do anything. That's perfect for the way we play at the moment and is a definite upgrade on Boruc (who is an excellent shotstopper but doesn't have the concentration. The Villa game knocked him though and cost us the RvP goal at least. Still excellent though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Balls Posted 31 December, 2014 Share Posted 31 December, 2014 Just seen the first part of the 2014 round up on the Saints YouTube channel. How did Boruc get off so lightly compared to Forster? If FF had let in half those goals it would be meltdown on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
