New keeper is shit

[Esteban Cambiasso]

The lille fans rated him when they had him on loan:

“In my opinion, LOSC must recruit a real number 1 goalkeeper, Jardim was only number 1 last year because of Grbic’s poor level”

“Ivo Grbic only leaves bad memories”

“Grbic cost us between 4 and 6 points due to blunders or “non-saves” that could be made. “

“With Grbic, the defense was lost.”

“Grbic ruined everything”

“A car crash”

“catastrophic”

“very very poor goalkeeper”

“The worst goalkeeper we have had”

“no one can dethrone him”

“Every opponent’s shot is a goal.”

Was that last point literally true yesterday (for shots on target)?

 

[BobblesBlade]

You're certainly no blade

Fair dos

 

[Mojo]

Seemed very slow, stiff and unathletic yesterday. Almost robotic like.

Yes he couldn't do much about the first 4 goals but he didn't get anywhere near a single one of them, the 5th was very poor.

Obvious early days yet so not overreacting but those comments from Lille fans are not good.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

His debut reminded me of Nicky johns

Wasn’t that score line something like a 5-0 defeat ?

 

[chesblade]

Fotheringham will still be No 1 until he gets injured or gets a red card or his contact is not renewed.

Up for sale apparently

 

[Ginger Gnome]

Still think it's a shame we didn't give Amissah a proper run in the side or at least a few cup games, then make a proper decision on keeper in the summer, Grbic doesn't look like he's going to be leaping around singlehandedly saving us loads of points.

 

[Snowflake]

No

 

[CarlMcBlade]

However bad this guy is…I can’t see the second coming of Wes happening anytime soon.

I think the game yesterday would have suited Amissah.

Have the new keeper on the bench if necessary.

 

[Working Class Hero]

No

Stats say there was one more shot on target, but I genuinely can't remember it.

 

[scouseblade]

Wes is off. Wont sign new deal. Tarah Wes

 

[FredZeppelin]

Second half header at the far post which he saved low down to his left?
utb

 

[Mendi]

Give over his first game, and it will take time for him.

 

[Bladesince59]

Another example of great man management.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Still at least we won't be in league one. Next season playing in front of the kkk

Fulham is the home of the KKK.........KKraven Kottage

​

 

[Yoonited]

Sorry but it has to be said, too slow, clumsy, and not committing himself when needed.

So was Chris Basham

 

[Snowflake]

I remember a scuffed shot and a weak header. Both he saved magnificently !

 

[Yoonited]

Totally agree,
he had his medical on Thursday night in Manchester, came over to meet team mates and do media work etc on Friday. Yawned throughout his interview on Friday and was thrown in at the deep end on saturday with no training for a week and barely a hello to his new teammates who have now possibly no confidence in him. Hardly the ideal preparation.

I imagine his new team mates will have a little more empathy than some of the jebends on here

 

[Yoonited]

Yep, fans have decided after 90 mins he isnt good enough. Send him to Chezzy on loan

I think "fans" is very generous

 

[s20Blade]

So was Chris Basham

That's why we didn't put him in the net anymore.

 

[gooseh]

One thing I noticed was that Grbic was wincing a lot pre game, then spent a lot of time (presumably) ranting at himself after the first two goals (too far away 2nd half). Obviously self critical

 

[ShropsBlade]

Giving him the benefit of the doubt he’s probably trained with the team & defence once.

I’d probably start Wes in the next game until he’s settled.

What difference does a training session make to a 27 year old goalkeeper.No excuse to concede that last goal in that manner.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Because he’s not played first team football in while? Why can outfield players be excused for being rusty when they’ve not played but keepers can’t….

There’s plenty of other top keepers that have made mistakes like that. Ramsdale was pretty shite when he first arrived.

He should have saved it you’re right but hopefully he improves from here

 

[VolcanicAsh]

Christ have a day off lad.

 

[MiserableBlader]

He got announced yesterday. He's had no training session with us, no coaching from us, little idea on how we play and not played first team football for a long time. First goal was a belter of a top bins following poor defending. Two penalties from a very experienced taker. 4th goal was a well placed shot with his vision hindered by the players in front of him. Give the lad some bloody time mate. To call him shit straight away is nonsense.

So your criticism is for the ****ing imbecile Wanker Wilder who played him despite being as prepared as somebody he got from the pub on Saturday night when he was (officially) a Sunday morning pub team manager rather than looking like one - pot belly, unshaven, slurred speech.

I know you're THE MiserableBlader and you've a rep to uphold.

But, do you think, on reflection, you're going a bit over the top?

#WankerWilder out!
Picking this bloke who went down like a sack of potatoes for Welbecks fifth goal and lost us a key game at Palace by being beaten to a cross in the air by not only a player but a PLAYER WITH HIS FOOT.
Probably the first time ever - first time I've ever seen it on ANY football field.
He's not the messiah, he's that fat ignorant megalomaniacal gobshite from Sheffield.
And WHAT a shit team today.

He’s a bloke who is trying his best to make anything whatsoever out of , what is probably, the worst resourced Premier League squad in history .
