Should Ramsdale have saved that?

Could’ve probably stepped forward and controlled the ball with his foot and then picked it up. Probably. Maybe. Maybe not. I would love to know what our GK coach thinks though because it looked awful didn’t it. Bet we all saw that header and said “if that goes in....”.

He appears to dive like an overweight Sunday league keeper, but maybe that's just because we're used to Henderson's athleticism.

The player shouldn't have been allowed to head it.

He seems to have a technical/timing flaw. He seems to be about 0.5 seconds to late to jump into his split step which isn't huge but in the Premier league it's enough for goals to go in. It can and I'm sure will be worked on though. He's only 22.

 

[SteveBlade]

Maybe he just has lag and needs a better connection.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

no, he shouldn't have saved it - he should have got closer to it though - which I believe is a similar point to the 2nd goal v Wolves.

DarrenWard has work to do - and quickly.

If anyone places any blame on Ramsdale you need your heads testing not his fault in a month of Sundays.

But yet again Stevens was nesh and got done in the air.

 

[Chabuddy G]

He’s 4 yards out when he heads it ffs

Correct - Stevens lost his man and initially got the wrong side of Konsa - after that it was too late to recover.

Poor defending really.

You would think Ronaldo had stuck one in the top bin

Stevens hasn't looked anywhere like on form since his goal against Brighton.

 

[Booker4]

I don't think Hendo would have got any closer either. We had no one on the front post which may have helped. I'd have to see it again, but it wasn't good defending.

 

[1987]

Fuck me. A header from 4 yards out tucked in the corner?

Are we really asking these questions?

 

[TONY_TONY_AGANA]

I said this last week, and Alan Smith said it too on commentary, there just doesn’t seem to be much spring there...and when you’re not the biggest of keepers, this could spell trouble.

Plus his footwork is a bit shit.

Darren Ward will sort him out - he’s still young enough to improve

Yes because some of our fans are helmets

If it wasn’t for Rambo Rammers we’d have lost 4-0, give the lad a break

 

[Weasel]

No fuckin way should anyone be having a go at Ramsdale for that. If he was at the other side of the net he'd have got beat at his near post instead.

Solid display by the lad. Hendos gone. Rammers will prove to be a very good player for us and could do nothing about that goal tonight. Blame the defence for switching off for 5 seconds if anyone.

 

[Blade56]

Point the finger at Stevens rooted to the spot ball watching gave him a free header.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Don’t think he should have saved it BUT was surprised how he didn’t get anywhere near it.

The header last week from Wolves was the same. Don’t think Ramsdale should have saved that either but his lack of spring meant he got no where near it.

No worries so far....besides it’s too early to judge.

 

[Mojo]

He needs to move his feet before he dives

 

[sportinguista in Warsaw]

Can we please pin this post and have it for every single game where United concede a goal or more? It's really entertaining and quite the thing when the keeper can't stop the ball going past him for whatever reason...Cos let's be honest, we all expected a clean sheet 38 times this season, didn't we?

...tune in next time for "should Billy have emulated Maradona's (they are the same height, after all) 2nd goal versus England in the 86 World Cup and dribbled past half the opposition team before calmly sitting the keeper on his arse (thereby causing a furious surge of 'should he have sat on his arse/should he have saved that?' posts on the opposition fan forum) and walking it into their net" .

For crying out loud...

Eh? Had fuck all to do. The last time I saw a keeper dive and react as slow as him was Mark Bunn. Hendo would have thrown his cap on it, slowest header to go in since Sais last week.

 

[OrderOfStGeorge]

I want to see Max Lowe given a chance and I have said the same since that Brighton goal he has been woefully inconsistent.

I would give either Lowe or Osborn a go at LWB cant be any worse than Stevens performances surely.

He's not 8 feet fucking tall and also bad marking led to the goal; if you still think he should have stopped it then you just have a personal bias against Ramsdale,period

There's no real excuse for him not to be taller though, he should be at least two inches taller.
