Ryan can’t go and play in China
Home grown keepers only
GP gave him his chance to improve, he got dropped for Spurs came back in and played worse not better.Somethings just not right about this, GP is nothing if not pragmatic but when asked if Mat will ever play for the club again GP answer I can't see into the future!
Last match not even on the bench!
He's played nearly all our matches for four years then stops, not even in the squad!

Ryan's omission from the matchday squad, may have as much to do with what has been going on behind the scenes, as his form on the pitch.
If it was solely down to the latter, then surely he would still be on the bench.
We will probably never know the true reason.
Quite amazing how many fans don’t realise we have paid staff at the club who deal with the psychological side of players.....maybe he’s not up to playing at the moment for other reasons ?
Nah....easier to post ‘he’s shit’ and move on to the next target. [emoji2369][emoji2369]
Has anyone done a serious analysis of how many points Ryan may have lost us this season? How many points through obvious howlers? How many points through goals he might have been expected to save?
Exactly. The venom in the negative comments is too much IMO, against a good team player whose performances really helped keep us in the Premier League for the first seasons.
I would guess not much more than most goalkeepers, Brighton fans have decided that he has let in every goal scored against us, with constant 'should he have saved that threads' When 90% of premier league keepers wouldn't have.
Looking forward to the haters providing the list of real howlers.......maybe a couple in all his time with us ?
Could have done better ? A few, like most keepers and he’s not been at the top of his game for a while now.
Deserving of the abuse he gets on here from some ? Never in a million years.
Nope Not from me MR has been solid & consistent keeper Very few real howlers
Good servant to the club But No real match winning saves either
Just think the club have decided it’s time to give RS a chance
More than happy if MR stays and fights for his place
But I don’t really see it happening With the noises being made by the club

True. The bitterness and anger some express towards our own players is downright ugly and cannot possibly improve individual performances or the overall atmosphere of the team and club. I know the same applies at other clubs and is a lot worse at some, but that doesn't make the boo boys/girls (at games or fuming at their keyboards) any more endearing.
And there you have it. Harvey Barnes scores a great goal against United and Glenn Hoddle spends 5 minutes trying to explain why De Gea should have saved it. you have to feel sorry for Goalkeepers now they're blamed for every goal scored.
There's more to goalkeeping than saves. Mark Schwarzer was close to immobile and seldom made spectacular diving, fingertip saves, but his strength was in organising his defence and taking crosses as early as possible to reduce the number of shots he faced. Take the Southampton game. Yes, a taller goalkeeper might have been able to reach their first goal but equally a better organiser might have got Veltman better-positioned to block the run. Equally, for the penalty someone else might have yelled at Solly to cover back quicker so that he got his challenge in much further outside the box, or got Webster across instead.
As for coming for crosses, as anyone who has played as a defender at any level of football will tell you, if you don't trust the goalkeeper behind you, you're done for. They have to be in charge and I wonder if Ryan really is.
