ALWAYS_SFC Posted 19 November, 2016 Share Posted 19 November, 2016 From Forster performance today it seems the criticism heaped on him has had a little effect. We'll just have to continue keeping him under pressure and hope he improves. You mean the forum criticism...... . Made all the difference I'm sure.

ART Posted 3 December, 2016 Share Posted 3 December, 2016 Time to cash in on him. At this rate we soon won't be able to give him away. He can't stop penalties, makes Boruc look class, Glad Southgate got to see the real Forster today. Need to recall Gazzaniga who was doing alright last season.

Saint_clark Posted 3 December, 2016 Share Posted 3 December, 2016 Was over the moon when we signed him. Then there was Villa away, then his injury, ever since he has been an absolute shadow of a goalkeeper. Like i said before, we should be looking for better than "makes great saves from time to time".

Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk He's never been commanding at corners despite his size. He gets a bit of a let-off with a few things because of the protection he's had in front of him. Not bothered about the mistake today, par for the course really - it happens. For me, it's his all round game which I've never thought was as good as good as some people believe. I've upgraded my opinion on him though. (Good Champ GK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verbal Kint Posted 4 December, 2016 Share Posted 4 December, 2016 Forster has always looked like he has that sort of mistake in him as he just never looks comfortable with the ball at his feet. It's pretty astonishing a premier league footballer and England international can make an error like that to be honest, but it just shows how low the bar is now set for goalkeepers. Apart from making some incredible saves now and then Forster doesn't do anything else particularly well. Distribution is poor, he's always rooted to his line and he never looks like he is commanding his box. He's one of the biggest keepers in the league but plays like he's 5 ft 8 not 6 ft 7. I always thought Stek's all round game was much superior but he wasn't capable of making the sort of saves that Forster can. I guess it comes down to what you want from your keeper. If we got offered 20 million or more I wouldn't be disappointed to see Forster sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely Brown Posted 4 December, 2016 Share Posted 4 December, 2016 I would argue it's technically the hardest position on the pitch to play. These days you have to be able to kick with either foot, receive back passes sometimes of dubious quality, read the game in terms of spotting potential threats on goal, second guess and be ready for poor defensive play, command your area and then be able to cope with a football that could be spinning, wet and moving in the air!! But don't ever make a mistake like any outfield player because your mistake can cost a game. Yep who'd be a goalie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't ever make a mistake like any outfield player because your mistake can cost a game. Yep who'd be a goalie? And a keeper's mistakes often cost goals with no chance of recovering the error. If JWP, say, had miskicked like that in midfield, chances are in wouldn't have mattered much. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Garrett Posted 4 December, 2016 Share Posted 4 December, 2016 You can't hang him for the mistake yesterday, it was a total fluke. Against Arsenal in the week, he didn't have many saves to make but he absolutely commanded his penalty area. Hopefully this is something that is being coached into him. Get off his back.

saintwbu Posted 4 December, 2016 Share Posted 4 December, 2016 The second goal wasn't his fault? The corner went near post i'm not sure how he's supposed to come and catch that, it then got flicked on by a palace player and deflected off JWP to Tomkins. That was a terrible goal for the team to concede, not Fraser. The first was a freak accident, i did comment to a friend at Arsenal how it was worrying me that he doesn't take a touch when he kicks it even when he can, because it leaves him susceptible to bobbles, but hey it happens. After his injury last season we were worshipping him when he returned with 6 clean sheets, and we've seen just how bad it can be with Stek last season so let's not be too hasty.
