His first howler will come of course but we won't be expecting a number of mistakes in every game plus we'll see plenty of worldie saves mixed in with the more routine ones.

spyinthesky Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 55 minutes ago, Patches O Houlihan said: I think we should expect him to have a bit of a weakness with claiming crosses judging by the online comments of Arsenal fans Same as Bazanu/Pickford and the likes. McCarthy and Lumley are better at claiming crosses but they are taller, which helps, but less nimble on their feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like a while since we signed a really good solid Premiership player. Exactly the kind of thing Turkish has been going on about for a few years. Perhaps not young with lots of potential, perhaps not foreign, mysterious and somewhat exciting, but certainly someone that does the job, you can almost forgot about and very much start building a proper side on that can win games and stay in this league. I really hope it turns out that way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convict Colony Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Mistakes I am sure will happen but they are now relegated to the sort of amount every other keeper makes instead of record breaking, he instantly brings peace to our defence which hopefully helps them play better and gives them confidence in his saving and ball skills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of taking the easy route and just blaming the keeper for every goal we concede, we can look at all the little errors (and big) made in front of him that lead to goals and chances. We are going to concede goals though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintsBarry74 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 An actual Premier League-level goalkeeper playing for us feels surreal. I can imagine the lads scoring at will against the likes of Baz and Lumely, now they'll get some proper shot training. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midfield_General Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 (edited) He's at least being able to show what he can do, which is presumably what he wanted. At least three great saves today, would have been an ugly scoreline without him. Regardless of the result, you don't have people talking about any great saves you made if you're sat on the bench every week.

SaveloyMush Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 If he keeps going like today, he'll be England's number one. Ironic that he and Pickford play for the two shittiest teams in the Premier League - at least they get to show off their abilities, I suppose.

Patches O Houlihan Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Dibling, Ramsdale, Fernandes, Downes, Lallana were all great today. Haggrid messed up a couple of kicks, but made some excellent saves that no keeper we have had in the last 5 years gets to. Absolutely no chance for the massively deflected equaliser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintTex Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 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.
