[Albion] If RDZ plays Steele tomorrow...
- Thread starter GJN1
- Start date
Well, yes. I get that to an extent.
But the fact that our GKs tend to do "two weeks on, two weeks off" suggests its less about tactics and makes me more inclined to believe that they're actually moonlighting north sea oil rig workers.

I understand why he says he rotates, I just don't think he's correct.
Steele's passing is not better, his range of passing is worse.
Bart's overall passing accuracy is 92.1%, Steele 83.6%.

The sustained dislike of Steele is one of the most embarrassing things about a section of Albion's fan base at the moment. He's still exactly the same player who got us to our highest ever finish in the table. He really doesn't deserve this level of vitriol even if you believe Bart is the better option.
RDZ believes in him so he'll continue to play and all the rest is just internet spam. The fact he was picked in the most difficult game of the season in Rome attests to that.
It's likely there will be rotation tomorrow - RDZ wants them both involved. When RDZ then later rotates back to Steele, try and retain some sense of composure

Instead of the monorail, I URGE Tony Bloom to use the missing cup final money, to invest in a machine at Lancing that can amalgamate two humans and create either Bart Steele or Jason Verbruggen to ensure we get the best bits of both keepers in one.
Problem solved and everyone's happy.

He’s statistically not better at them though
Why? Nothing between the goalies, Steele appears to kick long more often and Bart throws more often. I prefer the long kick, particularly when Pedro, Mitoma and Adingra are on.
I hope you have made sure your CV is lodged firmly in Mr Barbers inbox, as you sound like the next golden nugget that the club can unearth.
Can you point me to a source of "really risky pass completion rate" stats please.He’s statistically not better at them though

No hate from me towards Steele, but Bart is looking better at the moment.
We need our best 11 to stand any chance what so ever tomorrow and Bart is a part of that.

I have never seen a single Albion fan express a DISLIKE of Jason Steele.
Now, you see - responses like this are really silly.
Roberto de Zerbi is (as per my earlier post that you quoted) a terrifically exciting manager, who sends his teams out to play a style of football that, when it works, is absolutely exhilarating.
I'll not apply to replace him, because A) I'm not, surprisingly, a professional football coach, with a UEFA Pro coaching license, and B) do not have 'the big balls' to coach a team to glorious successes.
(I'd be far too risk averse, and we'd draw loads of games 0-0 (1-1 on a good day). We might scrape to safety courtesy of a few moments of individual quality from the players, but the crowds would vote with their feet, and Uncle Tony would allow me to leave by mutual consent after one disappointing season...)
But that does not preclude me - a guy who has played, watched, and lived a shitload of football, over 5 decades - from having SOME valid opinions on areas where Roberto just might be able to do better.
In fact, a few of them, are points that he himself has suggested he could do better - which is slightly awkward for those who will see only absolute perfection in the guy.

I DO NOT forgive you, but please aim those flamethrowers at WSU could be a little cold tomorrow.
He was in the opposition's box the other week!
Surely it's likely there 'won't' be rotation tomorrow? Bart played the last game, and RDZ almost always plays them for two, and sometimed three games. So - more likely to be Bart tomorrow?

That is not a like for like comparison though is it.
The traditional keeping stats are unequivocally in favour of Bart.
I have no issue with that.
But there is no correlation between Goals per game and which keeper is better in the build up play.
My observation is that Steele is more proficient at a press beating pass, than Bart.
Bart tends to look for Dunk/JP to look for the right pass than actually make it himself.
Whereas Steele more frequently makes a pass out of the press towards Gross/Gilmour or to the flanks.
Whether that ends up as a goal has a lot more to do with our attacking options, than the skill of the keeper.

Most of Bart's improved accuracy comes from Long passes though 67 % vs 52..8%
That isn't where the focus is, it's in the short and medium length passes and when they're executed.
Steele is releasing these passes later than Bart is, but with a better accuracy rate.

There have actually been ten instances this season of Bart/Jason playing just one game.

wake me up before you gogo who needs potter when
Well we are 4-0 down at half time in the tie
that's a good point I might not even go then and post at kick off
Gosh - that is a surprise. Wouldn't even know where to look for this sort of thing!
