Arijanet Muric
Re: Arijanet Muric
Muric should undoubtedly have started the season as no 1. Poor man management not doing this. He is far calmer, composed and decisive on the ball when Trafford often looks nervy. Trafford makes poor decisions. Trafford will become a good keeper but Muric is more suited to the way we are set up to play now. Clearly divisive but many seem to have changed stance after a couple of good games from Trafford.

Re: Arijanet Muric
I would never sit here and say Muric is a world class keeper because he isn't, but of two we are essentially picking our starting keeper from imo he's the better and that's because of two main factors. They both pass the ball out from the back, but Trafford plays it 10 yards to the CB every single time, even when we're under pressure and even when we're a goal down in the 90th minute. Muric has the long, raking, visionary accurate pass out in his locker when required and for a team like us that really matters. The other thing has to be Muric's ability to catch and command at high free kicks and corners which Trafford really, really struggles with. Not much to choose between them tbf, but those two factors are huge and it's hurting us.
Re: Arijanet Muric
I wouldn’t be laying the responsibility for that just down to Muric. He actually made one worse one earlier in the game. That is two but overall he did well. I have seen Trafford make countless errors and clangers this season.deanothedino wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 11:39 am“Trafford makes poor decisions”

Re: Arijanet Muric
Quite bizarre but no real surprise posters are blaming Muric for the goal despite Amdouni losing it when he had a simple pass inside to Tresor instead of trying to nutmeg their player.
Re: Arijanet Muric
If Muric had started the season as number one as he should have we wouldn’t have this debate as he’d be in or out of the team on merit. He’s not.

Re: Arijanet Muric
I don’t think Trafford has made many errors leading to goals this season personally. A few people here talking about presence. Yeah, Muric comes across as erratic and in a rush whereas I see Trafford as calm and composed. Trafford is also the better shot stopper for me and as much as VK wants us to play with a keeper using his feet I’d always take a shot stopper over a passer.
Someone suggested we’d be out of the drop zone with Muric starting this season, I think we’d be rock bottom and last night didn’t change my mind.

Would you say that the goal against Spurs at home was Trafford’s fault ? (I did think so btw)Steve-Harpers-perm wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 11:46 amQuite bizarre but no real surprise posters are blaming Muric for the goal despite Amdouni losing it when he had a simple pass inside to Tresor instead of trying to nutmeg their player.
Part of the game is decision making. Just like Trafford should not have given the ball to Al Dakill who had a man near him and was having a really poor game Muric should not have given the ball to a player who had an aggressive and forward thinking full back like Porro near him and a player in Amdouni who rarely takes the easy option (like the easy pass to Tresor).
Of course Amdouni is partly to blame to but all the pundits and commentators last night focused their attention on how needless a throw it was from Muric at a point in the game we had just been very lucky to not concede and he needed to slow / calm things down.

Re: Arijanet Muric
Yeah in my opinion we would be out the bottom 3, I have seen anything in Trafford that tells me he is calm and composed, he is very nervy and has been all season, Luton away from kick off nervy touch and kicked it against morris one example of him not being calm and composed, muric is one of the calmest keepers we have ever had.

Re: Arijanet Muric
One thing that did anger me last night amidst many positives overall was just how much more we looked like the Championship winning side last night and how much better off we might now be if we'd played this way, with Muric the lynchpin like last year. Sure he's not perfect, we knew that from last season, and we'd still be near the bottom but i bet our season would still be very much alive and safety a real possibility.
Sure we paid a fortune for Trafford and who knows perhaps legally obliged to play him as number 1 (itself staggering if so) but you play your best players. End of. That we haven't is criminal and negligent.

Re: Arijanet Muric
Having watched Muric last night I feel he is the better option at present. He looked fit, sharp and physically able to deal with high balls. More importantly he seems to exude confidence, something lacking in Trafford at the moment which not only encourages the opposition but terrifies our defence.

Re: Arijanet Muric
The more I see the Spurs goal, and it has been shown countless times, the more you realise Muric is rooted to his goal line. It may be he is disappointed his quick throw out to Amdouini was not well controlled and their full back has surged forward and in no time hit a hard shot, and caught him unprepared. However he is standing close to the side the goal went in and remained totally static. I have seen enough of PL keepers in my time to know the great majority of the current ones would have got to it/got their finger tips to it/ got very close to saving it owing to their great instincts. Having seen Trafford in our last 3 games my money based on the numerous saves he has recently made, would be that he keeps that out.

Re: Arijanet Muric
I actually think the throw out leading to the goal last night was a whisker away from being genius. If Amdouni slips it past Pedro as he almost did we had a real break on as Spurs were mainly ahead of the ball and were very open. I think Muric spotted this and tried to get us on the quick counter attack. Yes, it unfortunately failed and yes, he has to then share some of the blame.
The throw out in the first half on the other hand was nothing short of a ridiculous brain fart!!!

Re: Arijanet Muric
What ever Muric did last nightTrafford is still a better keeper than him and barring injury that's the last time you Muric luvvies will see him play for us.
And I'll be glad to see the back of him,if only it stops these grovelling threads about putting him on some sort of pedestal and hailing him as some sort of Messiah

Re: Arijanet Muric
Muric might do some strange things ( and often entertaining) but I don’t think he’s erratic and in a rush at all. Trafford is not calm and composed and often makes the wrong call in a rush. Muric is more confident and decisive.deanothedino wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 11:48 amI don’t think Trafford has made many errors leading to goals this season personally.

As for why is Muric erratic? Well, wasn’t great to see his trademark pass to a lightweight midfielder on the edge of our box facing our own goal with a player breathing down their neck again. Probably accounted for at least 3 goals against us last season.

You judge confidence as a keeper in our system as their ability on the ball, the speed in which they make decisions and there ability to command their area.

How does a pass to a lightweight midfielder make muric erratic? So Trafford playing Berge into trouble right at the start of second half against full makes him erratic does it?

It’s quite obvious what high percentage play means and if you’re going to have a debate about whether Muric made a good decision I’d expect you’d know what it means as well as it’s the basis of whether decision making is good or bad.

Both Muric and Amdouni were at fault. It's hardly bizarre suggesting that Muric was partially to blame. Other than that Muric played well and was assured in the main. Mistakes happen.

Ability on the ball isn’t something I predominately judge a keeper on, so no I probably don’t think Muric is confident as a keeper because he’s happy with the ball at his feet. I’ve no problems with Trafford’s decision making apart from maybe one goal early in the season where he should have come out sooner.
Because he’s under no pressure and rushing the ball out to someone who is.

So you don’t judge a keeper’s confidence based on their body language before facing a penalty but do surely based on them with the ball at their feet. Ok. Seems logical.
I’ve never said Muric isn’t confident. He clearly is, confidence isn’t always good though as it’s probably to blame for a good number of his mistakes with the ball.

Look at the team shape last night vs the prior 10 games in a 4-4-2.
Last night we absolutely spread the pitch and had Spurs chasing shadows for parts - so far removed from some of the turgid stuff we've seen this season.
I honestly don't know what some watch. Rewatch the game highlights and look at some of the pings into Amdouni splitting midfield. It's so apparent to me it's chalk and cheese.

This thread is like being back in infant school and arguing about your favourite player.

Re: Arijanet Muric
You really think a performance against a second string Spurs is a sign we would be in a better league position if Muric had been starting and you don’t know what some people are watching?CoolClaret wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 12:38 pmBecause we didn't let them?

You tell me what keepers can do that. It's bloody top, top tier stuff.

Re: Arijanet Muric
Muric should not have been dropped. It was his shirt to lose and Trafford should have been doing the challenging for it. Some think it doesn’t matter either way - I think it very much has mattered and we’ve sat through a lot of staid, lifeless football because of it. A big error - not the only one, by any stretch, but a big one.

Re: Arijanet Muric
Decent strawman. What was our side then? Kulusevski, Richarlison, Porro, Udogie, Vicario all been first team regulars and are good players in there own right - not to mention it was away.deanothedino wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 12:41 pmYou really think a performance against a second string Spurs is a sign we would be in a better league position if Muric had been starting and you don’t know what some people are watching?
Could have easily won that and Spurs want silverware, they're going for a Cup.
