[Albion] Matty Ryan pre/post Asian cup

Tiptop24 · Apr 13, 2019

Pre Asian cup - makes saves which help the team

Post Asian cup - looks like Wayne Henderson.

I love Matty. But he has to start earning his spot by saving a shot on target. Today they had 6 on target and scored 5. Cup semi they had 2.

Note. I’m not calling for him to be dropped, but pre Asian cup Matty would have saved more today.

Am I wrong?

Agree! I have never seen such an ineffective goalkeeper when someone is running into the box with the ball. He seems to shrink in size. Before he went off to that Micky mouse tournament he was saving all sorts, now a shot on target seems to go in. I am not saying he is particularly at fault all the time, he just never seems to save anything these days.
The other issue is the club has utter shite as reserve keepers. Button is a disaster waiting to happen and Steele seems to be 3rd choice which means he is worse than Button. Maty has no pressure on his jersey unlike last year when Krul was a quality back up!

Ryan's first game back after that tinpot tournament was Fulham away when we went in at the break 2 up and lost 4-2. Something seemed very awry in the communication between the keeper and the defence in that game and it hasn't got much better since.

Poorest ball player of any keeper in the PL. I've seen 15 year old keepers kick better.

A cat like shot stopper, but I wonder if he’ll be our keeper in 18 months time? The club can be quite mercenary with keepers ... Stockdale.

Speaking of Stockdale, Boric looks like he's taken a leaf out of his book.

I was in the NS, we abused him the smug *****. Football brings out the animal in civil folk .... at the time, I wished an idiot would’ve run on and delivered a couple of hooks to that fat face.

Becoming a master of picking the ball out of the net, he shirley leads PL stats on that.

In a week or two some of you will be singing Ryan's praises.

I really hope so.

I’m a fan, but the low % of shots saved is worrying.

Absolutely rubbish

One of the most overrated players of all time. There's a reason he completely flopped at Valencia (like Montoya)

Get anyone else in ......

We’ve had exactly this conversation several times over the past few weeks. SInce coming back from the tournament his kicking has been atrocious and he simply doesn’t seem capable of pulling off the saves he made last season.

In fairness to him we all would have put on a couple of lbs if we were in goal against the Albion.

It's hardly a workout is it?

Is he though?

Since the Asian cup when was his last ‘wow’ save, the one he saved in the semi-final, was a good height for him.

He seems to concede a lot of goals when the angle is actually in his favour.

At the moment I am on the fence as to whether he is good enough. The trouble is Button isn’t good enough either.

Did a quick search on BBC website

Bournemouth - 7 shots, 5 goals
Chelsea - 4 shots, 3 goals
Southampton- 2 shots, 1 goal
Palace - 3 shots, 1 goal
Leicester- 3 shots, 2 goals
Burnley - 5 shots, 3 goals

Total - 24 shots on target, 15 goals conceded.

sagaman · Apr 14, 2019

Totaly agree

Has not stopped any thing since the Cup
Kicking worst in PL

I would try Button/Steele

Weststander · Apr 14, 2019

Burnley are flogging Nick Pope this summer.

Let's buy him.
