Player Suggestion David Raya

[HolmesfieldBlade]

He’s been superb for Brentford every game I’ve seen him this season.

Great distribution and a very good shot stopper.

We could do worse for a Henderson4 replacement, if Brentford fail to win this playoff final.

 

[Chabuddy G]

He’s my favourite in the championship. Good shot stopper and good with the ball at his feet. But he’s a bit small and lacks domination at set pieces.

Yeah I said this in the Watkins thread but I was only working from the highlights of the Swansea game, apparently he has a mistake or two in him.

So does Hendo.

Every keeper makes mistakes, what we need is a keeper who can bounce back from mistakes (like Hendo).

 

[VwBlade]

I'd have him at the lane

 

[RMBlade]

I prefer Rodak in the other net

 

[Blade58]

Raya looks decent

Wonder what his value is? £6m, £8m, £10m

 

[Blade58]

.

 

[Stevo]

Scrap that

 

[Inter_blade83]

And there's his mistake

 

[WhittingtonBlade]

Terrible positioning for that free kick & almost fucked up when he came out to nearly halfway line to head a ball

 

[YES Blade]

And there's his mistake

2nd mistake.

He was lucky to get away with that crap header when he was miles out his goal.

 

[Reyt Then]

Just knocked a zero off his value. Great superman impression though.

 

[Wards]

Wonder what his value is? £6, £8, £10

Fixed it

 

[OrderOfStGeorge]

That positioning was utter for the goal to say the least what was he thinking.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Hendo does that dive but the balls gone five yards wide when he does it

 

[saw516]

The header was a massive error to be out there at all, his positioning was awful for the free kick, but I feel like it doesn't get punished very often in that situation. Not many players take that shot on, especially at 105 mins of a game. And even fewer score it.

I take it back

 

[Blade58]

I've just had a word with Chris

Chris tells me Raya was on his hit list, but he's now on his shit list

 

[Rodley]

Looked like a young Wilko De Vogt tonight.

 

[BanderSerge]

Typical nu-age keeper. Good distribution. Shit at saving. Weak as water.

 

[HolmesfieldBlade]

Sorry David.

 

[Mouth of the South]

Easy to say after last night but it didn't change my opinion of him, it just reinforced it. He's the GK equivalent of John Stones - looks impressive, great with the ball at his feel, glides over the ground but has a fundamental flaw in his game - his decision making, and is therefore prone to making a huge error at any time.

 

[brownblade]

Not seen loads of Raya, but looks very good. However, we don't really need that style of keeper for our tactics.

N.B. I think it's a bit harsh to blame him too much for what I'd describe as a brilliant goal by Bryan last night. Caught Raya out, sure, but how often does anyone try that shot, let alone pull it off?

Raya's awful starting position for free-kicks had been flagged to the Fulham coaching team so it clearly wasn't a one-off. Yes, he's a touch unfortunate that Bryan hit the ball as well as he did but he's in the wrong place with his weight on the wrong foot. It's a basic error.

 

[Pedro Verde]

Accident waiting to happen

 

[Shoreham_Bhoys]

Would be a fantastic option, although other sides will be circling.

 

[Cerberus Blade]

He’s my favourite in the championship. Good shot stopper and good with the ball at his feet. But he’s a bit small and lacks domination at set pieces.

In that case, I'm out!
