LCFCJohn Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 57 minutes ago, Heskey2011 said: (Gk here) Ederson is a good example of this, he's terrible one on one, positioning for shots is way off perfect, brilliant in the sweep but shot stopping he's average. Thing is Man City don't need a good shot stopper or one on one master as these situations don't happen very often for them. Distribution is the main role of a Man City GK I'm not sure we have the ball playing defenders needed to keep possession to play like Man City, we're going to conceded chances so we need a shot stopper. The positions Edwrson takes up when in possession allows them to play with 11 out fielders but only because they pass and move so effectively. Ederson is very fortunate that his weaknesses don’t get him more disciplinary action than he does (see his multiple, for want of a better word, assaults on Barnes not too long back). But yes, you’re right, he gets away with it because of the team he’s in. Absolutely bang on with the bolded but though. Iverson has shown he is a very good shot stopper so at least whilst in the Championship, I would think it’s easier to get him playing more simply with his feet and built other parts of the teams. Unless a great option comes available but for me, that’s not Steffan…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaspa Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 Fair enough, was about to come in and say I wouldn't want us to sign a keeper who's happily sat on the bench for so long again and that we should be after someone adamant on playing time. See he has just come off a full season at M'brough, coming up to his prime years. It's just that mentality is a critical element if we're going to build a team capable of getting back into the Premier League: leaders, determination to improve and develop a strong team spirit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iran Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 He's a good shot-stopper and excellent with his feet if Enzo wants to set the team up to play out the back (something which unfortunately Iversen is not good at doing). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyFOX12 Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 (edited) Rather keep Iversen tbh. Perhaps he's seen as a no2? Edited 27 June 2023 by BillyFOX12 typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxesWalk Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 (edited) Iversen was in the 19th percentile for shot stopping, which is pretty bad and only marginally better than Ward (12th percentile). Whilst Iversen appeared an upgrade and Ward, and he was, he still isn’t good enough imo and now that we have Maresca who wants to play out from the back I can’t see Iversen being a regular here. Stolarcyk should be number 2 if he isn’t going on loan. I’m not convinced by Steffen, but will back him if that’s who comes.

Tielemans63 Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 Not opposed to this but a loan with an option to buy would be ideal and not unrealistic imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxTimmy2 Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 Had a dream last night that we got Kasper back, instead I hear the club is looking to sign an injured GK, sounds much like the Leicester I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually agree although Emi Martinez was number 2 at Arsenal for a long time without playing and is now a world champion. It's conceivable that these guys believe they're good enough to be number 1 at a club but then, when it doesn't happen, they have to move on.

CrazyKopCorner Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 (edited) We desperately need proper competition in the goalkeeping department. Get this lad in, get Jakob Stolarcyzk back get Ward and Stowell out and get a proper goalkeeping coach in rather than a dad warning up his lad or a PE teacher - both of which are above Stowells credentials Edited 27 June 2023 by CrazyKopCorner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGLCFC Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 Looked good at shot stopping, but needs to work on diverting the ball away from goal as there were numerous occasions where the ball fell back into dangerous areas in and around the six yard box after the initial save. I know sometimes it can't be avoided, but there were at least half a dozen occasions where he could have pushed the attempt wider or over the bar.

Ric Flair Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 Choosing a number 1 despite them being out for the whole summer after having knee surgery, it worked so well for us last summer. Let's do it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian__marshall Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 Wouldn't worry too much about the injury concerns. Just have to remember that a Zack Steffen with blown out ACLs in both knees and two dislocated Shoulders would still keep more clean sheets than Danny Ward. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyFOX12 Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 Get a proper GK who's actually fit, move Iversen down as no2, Smithies no3, retire Stowell and replace him with Ward. Sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
