But all that means is the wrong decision was made without var intervention. You’re delusional

No but cheating on his wife does

Is there still a jobs for the boys culture within the coaching set up? I seem to remember a bit of fuss being made about no pathways to promotions around the time Idiakez left for derby and it seems unless those in positions leave themselves they’re in a job for life. I only ask because surely with our state of the art training ground developing coaches is as much of a priority as developing players. Maybe a bit of a Barcelona le Masia pipe dream but it would be good if when a first team manager departs we could have a replacement from our own academy

As has been said, Ward is hardly ederson, but at least Iversen could make saves. As has been gone over and over again, with the amount of goals we scored we just needed a champ level keeper to keep us up, which Iversen is. No matter how bad the defence is Ward made it worse, he never bailed them out and it was like refusing to wear a stab vest and then provoking a gang of 10 who had knives. Nothing revisionist about it

He got motm against Everton at home, making 3 or 4 good saves. He was shocking away to Fulham conceding the shocker of a fk and 4 others which was grim. Had iversen played the full season no way would we have gone down, we scored as many as spurs that season (afair), I don’t think we’d have finished top half but we’d have comfortably stayed up. Iversen was a top half champ shot stopper which is all we needed, yes he was and is poor with his feet but Ward is hardly ederson. As you say though, Stolarczyk is head and shoulders above Iversen.

Why wouldn’t they? It’s not even 5 years ago we were best of the rest and finishing in European spots, as well as winning pots. Surely anyone interested in buying Everton would be interested in buying us? A competent board with an infrastructure to match could have seen us as Europa league regulars. Saudi bankrolled Newcastle despite being bottom of the league, maybe we won’t like the source of the interest ie Saudi sportswashers but I struggle to believe that if Top was to put the club on the market we’d struggle for suitors

Stolarczyk Justin Souttar Coady Kristiansen Skipp Winks BEK Fatawu Ayew Mavididi champions again ole ole

He has the entire fanbase on his back because he’s absolute dirge and not only did he almost single handedly relegate us in 22/23 he’s pretty much sealed that this year with his performance against wolves. Iversen isn’t Lev Yashin but it’s clear to see he’s better than Ward for anyone who’s eyes work, and was very highly rated on his loan spells until we robbed him of 2/3 years to play 2nd fiddle to a dodgeball champion. We can agree that hopefully he’ll never be seen again and RVN has seen the error of his ways

Not true though is it. If Iversen isn’t as good why was he on the bench and not Ward last night? Ward shouldn’t have been given a squad number let alone a place on the bench and in the starting 11 this season. I’m not sold on Iversen but he is better than Ward and had he played against Wolves certainly wouldn’t have conceded the 3 Ward let in

Whenever someone says he was never this bad before 22/23 I always think of this, writing was on the wall then

Of course you can blame him, the fact he’s our worst pound for pound signing ever isn’t entirely his fault. But the fact he’s pissed about for 6 years picking up millions in the process and hasn’t worked on anything at all is 100% down to him

Fixed

Lcfc related I’d go for a pint with Nigel I think. I reckon Non Lcfc id go for a pint with Ian Wright

Why would Cardiff sign him, he’s not better than anything they’ve got

Exactly this, but I’d go 1 step further and stop him even training with us. You don’t want to move well we’ll see if any club will take you on after you’ve quite literally been sat at home for 2 years. If we were a proper club though we’d have sold him to wolves when they apparently had interest for 8m, instead we gave him a 50k a week, 4 year extension for playing the early rounds of the league and Fa cup. Who ever signed that off wants shooting

Could never be us

We’re gonna get beat 4-1 but none of it is Danny wards fault look at the defence, what do you want him to do save some shots?!

Luckily for you any shot on target is as good as a goal unless it’s from a peno

There’s Iversen. There are youth team keepers, he absolutely isn’t the only viable option, he’s utterly gash and will cost us this game by not being able to stop any shots

It’s like saying you wouldn’t want to wear a stab vest whilst getting stabbed. Yes we’re minging defensively but why play a gk who literally can’t save shots when added to that

Context is important though, pressman was shit for us but he was also about 45 and 25 stone

Bale, Ronaldo, salah Rooney and hazard weren’t even strikers ffs
