I noticed this but even mads used to do this,it's like there told by the manager to hold it, so many times if he released the early ball today, we catch wrexham on the counter attack!

We have no clue what a counter attack is. There’s playing out from the back, and there’s this shite.

He’s so shite with the ball. We need a better keeper

I felt the crowd were being unfair at times tonight. 

 

He can't win if he rushes it and puts us straight back under pressure and out of formation.

 

He could do with finding a better balance though.

[Jimmy]

People were moaning about him not throwing the ball to Abdul towards the end but what they missed was he went but Abdul never looked back so the ball couldn't be delivered to him.

 

It's not always Jakub stopping him dealing the ball quicker

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Not the most pressing problem but that second half intensity from Pompey really laid bare just how limited he is on the ball.

[Tommy Fresh]

Anyone explain what he was doing when he kept the ball from going for a corner right before their second?

 

Seems to be the thing on here for a few to ridicule Hermansen for whatever reason but the drop off from Hermansen to Stolarczyk is looking pretty big

He isnt the problem and I'm pretty sure he has little confidence in the defence in front of him which is bound to make any keeper nervy!

Hermansen had blunders when we were in the championship as well. Stolarczyk isnt perfect but he's won us a lot more points than he's lost and has been one of the best in the championship.

 

Put an average championship shotstopper in our team and we're lower midtable with the number of chances we concede a game.

I wouldn't say he's won us a lot more, he's an alright keeper, but he's not as good as Hermansen said before he's fine at this level but if we did get promoted I'd be thinking of looking at upgrades

[Dan]

Find the goals prevented numbers interesting which measures the quality of shots. Hull last night had 3.36 from their shots on target so Stolarczyk actually did well again despite a couple of shaky moments.

 

He's not perfect but been probably in our top three players so far. With Ward in goal yesterday we probably lose 5-1 - no joke.

Shot stopping is fine, bar his weird parrying in to a danger area he does from time to time, I just think he looks nervous and makes some odd decisions. The build up to the second goal last night being one of them.

He is not perfect by any means. He's probably an upper Championship / lower PL goalkeeper. You could get promoted with him and I don't think he was terrible last year either. Obviously a downgrade on Hermansen. Really surprised by the latters drop off. Has that injury ruined him?

[iancognito]

His shot stopping has been great, his distribution has been shocking. Literally will not kick or throw it further than about 30 yards which ruins all hope of quick counters or a change in pace. Wrexham and Pompey games were crying out for quick balls out from the back and all we got were roll outs to Farce and Lurch.

 

We bought two other keepers in the summer for competition and to give him an experienced head to work with. If they're not making him better they need to be replacing him.

[Fox92]

Sorry but I don't rate him. I always feel nervous whenever he's on the ball, or if it goes back to him.

 

Even yesterday there was one time he seemed to mishandle the ball and it went out for a corner (other end of the ground from the away end so it was difficult to see) and the one where the ball was headed back to him. Weird decisions every game.

Like with all players, if there's an upgrade out there who is affordable and wants to come here, and whose signing doesn't affect recruitment in more pressing areas, then do a deal.

 

Personally I think he's very good in some areas and a little suspect in others. He's good for this level and could step up if we were to get promoted.

 

I think there are plenty of other areas we need to focus on before we start looking at replacing Jakub.

Most probably under the instruction of the manager.

 

OAP Begovic and some Spanish guy that has played about 8 games in as many years are not serious options.

I honestly think he's not far off where Hermansen was for us at all.

 

Hermansen has gotten the same face lift that Faes did where because he was involved in our championship promotion season people seem to have a false memory of him being completely imperious last time in the championship, which he was not. He had plenty of times where he passed straight to the opposition in our penalty area or where he failed to claim a cross, which Stolarczyk is far superior at.

 

Don't get me wrong Hermansen was good in our championship season but it's similar to how people were saying Faes was 'our best defender' and need to start if we want to be promoted. Then when Faes started games we all came back down to Earth that he wasn't all that special at this level. Hermansen was never the reincarnation of Neuer that he is being made out to be nowadays but since it's been a while since he's started for us he's gotten better in everyone's minds.

 

He was only ever as good as Stolarczyk is now, which is one of the best in the championship but not some world beater.

Sorry but the Faes comparison is way off, this isn't based on him not playing for us for a while, but thanks for telling me why I and others may think that way.

 

Hermansen making a few mistakes when confidently being able to pass a football still doesn't make him as bad as Jakub is at distributing it. 

 

Also sounds a bit contradictory to start with "I honestly think he's not far off where Hermansen was for us at all." And then finish "He was only ever as good as Stolarczyk is now" 

[old koppite]

Anyone given him credit for that crucial reaction save first half-  without it we’d have been 3 down

I’m pretty sure the ball was out before he touched it. I think he thought it had come off our player but it was a bit of a bizarre moment.

He’s not Yashin but he’s a decent keeper and we should be busy with other problems and get behind a relatively young goalkeeper who has come through the ranks.

[whoareyaaa]

Don't think he is doing to bad given it's his first season as number one still realtively young for a goalkeeper.

 

What I don't get is people are now slamming him saying he is not good enough yet are calling for Marti to be sacked because he's not playing the youngsters, what happens when the youngsters have some shit games ? as it's going to happen with any manager.

I think we're on about another moment

 

I'm talking about just before the second goal where Hamza headed it back towards him and it was going out for a corner, he tried to keep it in despite it being clear he wasn't going to be able to get the ball under control and just gave the ball back to Hull who then built up to their second goal

He's fine for the Championship, I just don't think he's as good as Hermansen was, who got pelters on here, although he's only a few months older than Jakub. The main positive is he's decent enough, especially at shot stopping, that we didn't have to rush and hopefully wont have to spend anything on a new keeper if he improves.

Pedantics mate, youre romanticising a player who doesnt play for us anymore at the expense of a player who is performing well for us right now.

 

Stolarczyk is one of our best players, even if Hermansen was as good as you remember, which may or may not be how it was in reality, what's the point in comparing him to the Hermansen of a year ago.

 

Alternatively Hermansen could still be with us and be playing like he was at the end of last season and this season with West Ham which would be worse than what we have in Stolarczyk now.

 

Let's just celebrate Stolarczyk for being one of the few players preventing us from being a complete embarrassment currently.

I'm not romanticising at all, just pointing out I don't think he's as good and Hermansen would be getting battered for some of the issues Stolarczyk has shown this season. Like I've said a few times, I think Stolarczyk is fine enough for now and hopefully he does keep improving so we can spend money on the real shit areas of the squad
