For me the top 5, or bottom 5 as it may be have got to be 1. Kalac 2. Pressman 3. Douglas 4. Ward 5. Ricardo The thing I can’t get my head around with Ward is his positioning, how has he got this far in the game with such woeful positioning - at least Kalac got into the right position to catch a ball before dropping it into his own net. The others on the list were all over the hill and past it and unfit when they arrived - Ward is actually in his prime and doesn’t appear to understand where to stand or how to get into position. 4

Some of the blame for poor positioning must be laid at the door of Stowell, after all he is the goalkeeping coach. If we ordinary folk can see it why can't someone on the coaching staff see it. Or is it a question of Ward not being capable of breaking this weakness, therefore, if that is the case he needs to be off-loaded. Edited 19 June 2023 by David Hankey 3

I agree, it will be interesting to see if he gets a move and plays somewhere else if this is an area he improves on. It’s just so obvious to anyone watching the game and so often. 1

Relative to the level played and considering Ward's transfer fee and wage, he's without a doubt the worst we've ever had. Rodgers giving him 26 games cost the club over £100m. 13

Only difference is Pressman and Douglas, though poor for us, both had decent careers and were both 30+ when they signed for us (wasn't Pressman about 36!?). It's no comparison to Ward who should be in his prime at 28/29 years of age. A name you've left off who would make my list is Conrad Logan, I thought he was hopeless. 2

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 19 June 2023 Posted 19 June 2023 Bought for 12.5m when Liverpool only paid 1/2m for him from Wrexham.....nice 12m profit from their 4th choice keeper

No, but a player can be coached in the basics and for a goalkeeper positioning is just as important as saving a shot.
Clever Fox Posted 19 June 2023 Posted 19 June 2023 Let's just hope Ward, Vesty and Bertrand are 3 of them.
Lambert09 Posted 19 June 2023 Posted 19 June 2023 i’d genuinely let him go to celtic for free. Just get him off the books 2
Popular Post funkyrobot Posted 19 June 2023 Popular Post Posted 19 June 2023 The signed Ward shirt is now half price!! Just £225. Get yourself an absolute bargain. I’m amazed these haven’t sold out already so be quick. My advice is buy two - one for yourself and one to put on eBay for £750 in a day or so when these are all gone. No thanks necessary for the tip off 👍🏻 6

beepee1984 Posted 19 June 2023 Posted 19 June 2023 Unconfirmed Rumours from Turkey is that Danny Ward has made a save At this moment these rumours are not yet substantiated We are looking for a witness to this rare phenomenon
TonyN11 Posted 19 June 2023 Posted 19 June 2023 He's done pretty well so far tonight. Better to watch this MATCH than the England training session. 1
