Maybe Rodgers doesn't want to risk bringing Iverson in and destroying his confidence as well? He'd come in, concede a shit load of goals because our defence is diabolical, and get slated too.

Not a chance. His save percentage is a joke. Kasper would have saved at least a quarter of goals we conceded. Who knows when but we would have picked up points

Kasper was gone. Finished. Not the same keeper he has been.

.. he hasn't got it in him to say I got it wrong!!!

 Perez is a pointer for that, he got that so wrong and continued to use him in a way that did not suit his game. We were never going to going to get a RW while Rodgers attempted to cover up his mistake. 

Perez gets a lot of stick, but we got better results and played better football when he was in the team. He wasn’t the greatest, but did a job and didn’t deserve a lot of the flack he got.

Is Iverson better ? Great against Stockport but if he isn’t, you really got to question how committed we are to staying up by not replacing our number 1. We go down with Ward - regardless who is manager. The last time we had a poor number 1 in this division - we sat bottom for most of the season. Such a key position.

.. the last time we had a #1 in this division and sat at the bottom,  we did the great escape and went on to win the league the next season with the same Goal- Keeper!!!

Iversen can't be worse.  He was stand-out at Preston.   That makes him at the very least nearly good enough for the Premier League.   That's better than Ward.

 

I almost feel sorry for Ward.   Then I remember he has probably been paid over 6 million in wages by the club.

Oh Danny boy

The bench, the bench is calling...

It should be the Stand is calling!  He isnt as good as Smithies, so Smithies should move up to the bench, and Ward demoted to third keeper.

Just watched the goals back from Saturday and it's safe to say he should do better for all of them. Not necessarily save them all but he might as well not have been there.

 

He looks so weak, like when you watch soccer aid or something and it's a celeb in goal who just doesn't have the presence of an actual footballer.

Suggest you read up on that season. Our usual number 1 was injured for large parts of the season meaning our number 1 was either a very old Schwarzer or Hamer - neither started the next season so don’t know what you are on about.

 

In fact our great escape began with Kasper back in goal. I get you might be the staunchest  supporter of Ward but making up facts is quite stupid in the era of Google!!!

Agreed.

 

Every team needs a good goalkeeper and we don't have that.

 

We've let a good PL goalkeeper leave and not even replaced him. Now ended up with two Championship goalkeepers.

...not as you stated but I  take your point!!!

  Hard to understand why you are taking umbrage in this instance. I will refrain from petty terms.

Fml.

 

Managers the issue.

 

New manager, install confidence, it will be like having new players.

He's on £20,000 a week. I say keep in the team for one more game to see if we can get our money's worth.

I'd doubt that. £12m player commands more surely.

I think Perez is unfairly dismissed. Puts a shift in when he’s played.

One upper championship level, the other lower and what you'd expect Burton or Rotherham or Charlton to field.

Even Guardiola or Klopp won’t fix Ward. When he dives it’s like watching in slow motion. A manager can’t just “fix” that. He’s nowhere near PL level, a new manager isn’t going to magically teach him basic reaction times overnight.

No.

 

Goalkeeper is the one position that isn't affected by the manager. His job is to just save the ball from going in the net. A manager's instructions doesn't limit him from doing that, but his ingrained lack of ability does.
