To be fair he was getting stick but even so you need rise above it and be profession. Not swear at the supporters who part pay your wages every week. If this is true then he needs to be dropped. He's obviously mentally buckled under the pressure if he's snapping back at fans and of all the positions on the pitch where their head needs to be solid, its the GK.

No one is saying he should be reaching Havertz shot, but his decision making to get himself into that position was absolutely atrocious as his positioning usually is. 8

Interesting to see what happens if iversen was given the nod. If Kasper was still here we would look a lot better. It's the one position in the team where absolutely no on can carry or cover for you. Ward just isn't good enough, he just lets in goals which a better keeper would save. I could forgive the odd Kasper howler for some of those near impossible saves. Not sure Iversen would be any better to be honest, we needed to bring in quality last summer when our hands were tied financially. 3
Popular Post LVFox Posted 13 March 2023 Popular Post Posted 13 March 2023 Feel sorry for him really, seems a good pro and is doing his best but is no way near Premier league level. Iversen has loads to prove and is probably not a long term answer but has to come in now. 5

Part of me thinks Rodgers would like to get the chop before having a relegation on his record. Plus that lumpy payout is an attractive proposal when the club isn’t in the most stable of places.

See I don't get the whole "Rodgers wants to get sacked and paid off" theory. I just think he's way too stubborn and arrogant to think it's possible his side would get relegated. Can almost guarantee he's thinking "we are playing well but these players are missing huge chances for me". 1

Would loved Danny Ward to have stayed on his line there. It would have been awful goalkeeping. He needs digging out for the first one. Not sure why people like you are so obsessed with making out that great finishes are anything like his fault. God help him if he was in goal when Di Maria chipped that beauty in.

Easily the worst keeper I've seen play for us.

If fans are being arses, they deserve to be told to eff off. 3

Ward is up there though. 1

He comes out but doesn't really commit to going for the ball and potentially clattering Havertz, nor does he jump or spread himself to put Havertz off. like it's an incredible finish but he could make it a lot harder for Havertz by making him rush his decision to chip it and by making himself big 2

He had a row with Ndidi on the pitch (for a mistake that he made) earlier this season, he's allegedly now arguing with fans during games, and he was one of the lockdown breakers the season we had to drop players for West Ham away wasn't he? I haven't seen anything that suggests he's a good pro. 4
henry56 Posted 13 March 2023 Posted 13 March 2023 Ward lets in a goal a game any other PL keeper would save 9 times out of 10 . He’s not a PL keeper. 1
Popular Post tetly Posted 13 March 2023 Popular Post Posted 13 March 2023 The key thing is he probably cost us 12-15 points come the end of the season. He will take us down absolutely awful decision to let him be the no1. 8

No one can be sure Iversen will be any better, but he might be - he’s not had a chance. He certainly can’t be any worse than Wardy. Preston fans love him. He’s got a reputation as a shot stopper. Get him in the team. 5

There is no proof that Iverson will be any better than Ward but surely he can't be any worse. Rodgers has backed him since we overpaid Liverpool for him and his pride wont allow him to back down. If we do get relegated Ward still wont be good enough !! 1
