Re: Maatsen
Doesn't matter where Maatsen lines up, he isn't a 'traditional' full back. The game is evolving continually and there is the four centre back, back fours and the let's try and get 11 footballers on the pitch. Maatsen fits into the latter group. It probably needs a combination of those two ideas alon...

Re: So do you drop Muric after two massive costly howlers?
The Muric howler is no more or no less of a howler whatever the outcome of the game. The fact that we lost two points, just affects the anger levels on here. Although this thread is about Muric, our player, in this instance I think that comparisons with other keepers is more than relevant. All keepe...

Re: So do you drop Muric after two massive costly howlers?
England's No 1, Mr Pickford, made an epic fail last night of Muric proportions, yet for some reason it has hardly had a mention, certainly not on this thread. Yet another reminder that an error does not define a keeper, because all keepers make them.

Re: So do you drop Muric after two massive costly howlers?
Eye off the ball, lack of concentration, poor weather conditions, pass played between the posts all combined and a total misjudgement, nothing at all to do with technique. He could have employed the inside of the boot technique (not instep) and still misjudged it with the same result.

Re: So do you drop Muric after two massive costly howlers?
He was probably looking where to pass it to, seeing who was unmarked and took his eye off the ball for that split second like we do when checking the rear view mirror. It shouldn't happen but it did. He made a bad choice and we've all suffered the consequences but he'll be hurting the most.

People are so entrenched in their goalkeeper views, that until we have a clear number 1, with a more than competent number 2, that will continue.

I haven't looked at the 'rate the players' thread, but not surprisingly Ekdal looked very rusty yesterday. The further away he is from our goal, the more confident he looks, but for a defender, I'm not sure that is a great recommendation.

A lot of points made, but the majority of them, clearly agenda based. Only two posts prior to this one have pointed out that a back pass to a keeper should never be between the posts.

Re: Season tickets next season
If season ticket price increases in the prem were approx 25% for all teams then our price increase would be one of the smallest so maybe we should just compare our price rises with other clubs this season and next season. I don't think we would narrow the gap against other clubs in £'s.
