Harry_SFC Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 10 minutes ago, SaintTex said: if Russell continues to have us play this style of football, we are going to have to take the good with the bad with Ramsdale. great ball stopper, but not great with his feet. We would have lost without Ramsdale today.. but he is going to give away a lot of balls in our final third this season if Russball continues. You'll do well to find an affordable keeper who is very good with the ball at his feet and someone who is a very good shot stopper. You're looking at the beat keepers in the world like Allison and Ederson etc. The fact we have one who is a very good shot stopper and is ok with the ball at his feet is the best we can hope for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alternative on our books is one that is good with the ball at his feet but barely makes a save. Or one that is shit with the ball at his feet and barely makes any saves.

hypochondriac Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Ramsdale is so good. It's almost embarrassing that we have at least half a team who are vastly inferior to his ability. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swap Ramsdale for the best ball playing keeper in the world, and play Russball. The result would still be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's revisit this in December when we've worked out Ramsdale is good, sure, but not great and nowhere near the messiah he was made out to be in the run up to signing him.

The big advantage ramsdale has is that people will overlook the above regardless, and he won't be blamed for every goal like baz was.

trousers Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 (edited) Seems a tad shaky / inconsistent of late...?

FarehamSaintJames Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 I think any of us would look shaky in goal if we had the shitshow of a defence in front of us. I’d argue he’s kept the score down more than if say Bazunu or McCarthy were in goal. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodymatt Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 In general he’s not made any howlers. Got his hand to a couple such as the Ayew winner that would have been nice if he could have kept out but he sees it so late. His error that was cleared of the line last night was the first big mistake, fortunately Suguwara bailed him out. He is still well clear of our other keepers, big upgrade. Understat reckons we have conceded 3.53 goals less than expected. Baz conceded 14.7 goals more than expected over a full season. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 He’s had a few moments Bazunu would have been crucified for; Leicester’s winner, Man City’s goal, Bournemouth’s third, last nights error that lead to the goal line clearance. I think playing for us after Arsenal has just knocked his confidence a bit, hopefully it’s just a temporary blip and he finds his mojo soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint86 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 He's going to be a proper crowd favourite if he sticks around. Came here just to play, and his stated ambition is to keep us up and try and re-establish us in the prem. Hard not to like someone prepared to do that for us, as opposed to sit on the bench at a big club earning a packet and winning trophies. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve conceded a lot of goals but I can’t say there’s been many where I’ve thought he should have done better, maybe one or two. With Baz most weeks you’d look at a goal conceded and think he should have got to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
