[Albion] Maty Ryan - analysis & discussion

[Nobby]

Against West Ham

AWAY!!


Oh

 

[Uh_huh_him]

The ball was hit bloody hard, but I would hope Maty will feel he should have done better.
But to be absolutely clear - not one you could ever call a keeper error
Also made up for it with a couple of good saves later on.

He is a bloody good keeper.
I can't remember a single howler from him.

To be fair to Ryan he has done ok when you consider that we paid £5mil for him. At the end of the day a decent PL Keeper would cost at least 4 x that amount. Just doesn’t have the presence to be a top class keeper. Others may disagree and that’s fine!

Therein lies the truth .
He’s a £5m keeper ..
You won’t get a consistently excellent keeper for anything less than 30 mill.
We have made some wayward signings in the prem . Ryan is definitely not one of them

 

[maglers]

**** me. If any of you prats were behind the goal you’d have seen there was no way of saving that bullet.

This. (I was)

 

[Guinness Boy]

Best keeper we've ever had.

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

Grumitt,Moseley and Corrigan all better

He's a good keeper but Grummitt was the best for me. Roberts was decent too.

Grummitt and Corrigan at their peak maybe but not when they played for us, Moseley? No chance

Grummitt played for us in the third division, great keeper but not by current PL standards at the time he played for us. Corrigan was SOO slow to get down to low shots when he played for us, well past his peak

Before your time, Grummitt was consistently incredible. Not revisionism, he was adored at the time.

3rd division, he was not facing the quality of shots and forwards Ryan has to thwart

I too loved watching him though.

Modern day goalies think they are footballers,how many do you see now actually catch the ball

Next you’ll be telling me that there weren’t any short arse keepers

Not sure about that, but then comparing Jim Clark or Stirling moss with Lewis spamalot doesn't work either.

Lidl Maty is superb up to a point. That point is about 1.5m off pitch level. Over and above that level he can be a bit . . . Meh

Why do they wear gloves these days

Bloody Sepp Maier that is

 

[darkwolf666]

I have come to the conclusion that there are some very stupid, ignorant people on NSC, when it comes to football at least.

I am sure I won’t be missed, but think I will now just stick to the music and “general” threads, before the boring, soul destroying posts make me want to kill someone!

I often agree with your ‘unpopular’ posts, but imho your incorrect on Ryan.

He’s been a quality keeper for us, he’s cost us barely any points in his three seasons. Not his fault obviously, but a bit more height would make him more commanding in aerials.

When we’ve been shite for much of these last 3 seasons, that’s been despite Ryan.

To get a near perfect keeper such as Alisson Becker costs £65m and wages we can’t afford. Almost every other keeper has strengths and not so strong points.

Grummitt spent 10 seasons in the First Division with Forest, 352 games, and then Wednesday for one. In an era of brilliant teams such as Leeds, ManU, Liverpool, Everton. He was outstanding against the best, Forest sometimes running huge clubs close to the title, Forest websites and fans still talk about him.

Spot on. He oozed class. So difficult to compare the modern keeper with those back then but he was the best I've ever seen at our club.

Quality goalies didn’t appear the moment the PL was founded.

We also the best in Shilton, Clemence and Banks. Would’ve thrived in any era.

Burridge always seemed to do ok and stayed in the job for a while. Likewise Paul Cooper.
