I’d like to see a list of the games, my interpretation is that RDZ has largely been protecting Bart as the younger keeper, even in that list above, Steele’s have all been away, and in the big ones or ones we’ve been resting players / absences.

Plus a lot of these results can’t be just put on the keeper either.

Bart

Liverpool
Arsenal
Everton x 2
Palace x 2
Forest x 2
Sheff Utd
Burnley
Bournemouth
Newcastle
West Ham

Steele
Luton x 2
City
United
wolves x 2
Villa
Fulham x 2
Chelsea
Spurs x2
Brentford
Sheff Utd
West Ham

My suspicion would be he plays Bart tomorrow, a bit of a free hit now and a home game, and Steele has Anfield.

'Sake.

Steele's obviously not a good enough goalkeeper. How many times does he have to show that before the penny will drop for the last few stragglers at the back?

Just so happens the manager, widely lauded as one of the best young managers in world football is one of the stragglers

But i'm sure you're correct and he's wrong

No, I said in an earlier post you are entitled to an opinion....I also intimated there are a lot of moaning minnies on here

Thanks. I think Jason Steele is an inferior keeper to Bart and the stats back that up.

Undoubtedly. I might even harrumph.

How will you occupy yourself on Sunday 31st March when we actually play Liverpool?

Or, as summised above, Bart is being protected and Steele is facing the trickier fixtures.

i don't think the protection argument holds up as well as you think it does.
Bart played against Liverpool, Newcastle, Arsenal, West ham.
Steele has played twice against Luton.

RDZ picks the keeper that he thinks will perform best against the specific opponent.

Please just stop rotating keepers and stick with Bart - everyone with even slightly functioning eyesight.

I think we have a better chance of winning if Bart plays.

If we weren't almost certainly out of the competition, then yes I think he would.
But I think it's possible that he will look to put together a defensive unit for the rest of the season now.
I would like to see Bart - Pervis-Dunk JPVH- Veltman as often as possible for the rest of the season.

Left to right rather than right to left?! You maniac!

That really should be our default back 4. If we'd played that in Rome, we'd still be in the tie, IMO.

You've got to chuckle...

We've scored 1 goal in 4 matches, we need to score 4 in 90mins to not go out of the competition...

and NSC is discussing which keeper gives us the best chance of winning. :lolol:

That De Zerbi is a terrific manager who has done easily enough to earn our trust on this matter
