Danny Ward

Can’t wait for the club to shit themselves in the summer when we are left with just Stolarczyk and panic offer him a new 3 year deal

My faith in this club is on its knees but If there is one thing they will definitely not do, it is offer him a new contract. Absolutely no chance.

Guarantee he's still in the Wales squad next month.

cant imagine theyll do that tbf, suspect he wants out

I watched the Arsenal v Man City highlights, and for a moment I thought that Danny Ward was in goal for Man City.

He's good enough for league one I would say. 

He's still Wales's no.1 isn't he?Maybe that's good enough for him, along with the £40K a week he picks up here! The life of Riley really!

That’s out management for you. Can’t blame Ward for taking it.

Last i knew, he was their second choice behind Wayne Hennessey..who's Forest's third choice keeper.

 

Say no more.

Hamza got a 4 year deal and Vest got a 3 year deal. Ward getting an extension for being a good lad seems incredibly possible.

Every time I tune in to see Wales on the box Ward seems to be in goal, lol! 

[fazzyfox]

How, just how, can he be one of the two most capable Welsh goalkeepers? Surely they could just strategically shave a sheep and stick a pair of gloves on it and that would be a better option. A child? Someone? Anyone?

I've said this, we know he can make saves, as we've seen him have good games in cup games, but when it matters, he went to pieces, think Rodgers ruined him 

Name me a save he’s made that hasn’t been absolutely routine? He’s never had a game like iversen had against Everton in 22/23 or like Stolarczyk had against spurs last week, Bloke ruined himself when he decided he couldn’t be arsed to improve any aspect of his game and settled at picking up 50 bags a week because he had no ambition to ever be a number 1

I can only assume any Welshman who's good at handling some kind of ball gets forced into rugby

Is Steve Cooper can be the top Welsh manager, why can't Danny be their top GK?

If we've not got a new second keeper by the time next season starts I can totally see them enquiring if he's found a new club yet. Which obviously he won't. Cos he's Shite!

I distinctly remember the cup.games he had prior to.22/23 and he always looked decent enough, Liverpool.fans thought he was a bright prospect, then he made all those penalty saves in that cup game. Just think he's got a problem with mental pressure and probably overthinks everything, nevertheless that is a big problem when you're a keeper

The fact he's ok at penalties but is so comically bad at shot stopping suggests he has poor instincts and reactions. Basically not a natural goalkeeper. Probably been well enough coached at Liverpool to somehow make himself a career as a GK.

He isn't though, he did have a good spell in the middle of that season if you remember. If you have an issue with pressure, you freeze, I'm just saying I think this was his issue. Remember when Joe Hart was the best keeper in the league, then he just fell apart? Pressure and confidence

Had two or three decent-ish games iirc. Away at Everton he was quite good. 

 

Maybe you're right, but I haven't really seen much to suggest he's even an ok shot stopper. Some of his attempts are quite strange and unorthodox, I'm thinking of Man United away in the relegation season. Who knows.

I only remember my thoughts at the time and I rarely miss a game, I remember Rodgers wasn't sure who to pick, Iversen was Preston player of the season.but Ward was more senior, supposedly he was going to let them battle it out, but that didn't happen, because I think Rodgers wanted the sack so.wasnt arsed if we lost 

[Paninistickers]

Dunno why now this came into my head but, the poor fella has had to ask TWICE to be dropped..Ask. ASK. FFS. 

 

After the Chelsea Chilwell debacle. Rodgers said something along the lines of 'he's a very honest lad and his own biggest critic' 

 

Then, obvs, after the Wolves debacle, pleading with the clueless Dutchman to drop him. 

 

Sometimes you just have to let these things percolate to really admire the scale of farce

Wonder if he pleaded not to be paid as well.

Hope he stays, have good memories of him under Brendan
