[Albion] Maty Ryan - analysis & discussion

[PILTDOWN MAN]

It feels like any goal we conceded is deemed unsavable. How unlucky must we be.

I can't remember any save Ryan has made that we look at and say 'how did he save that?!' His saves tend to be the routine sort. Maybe some need a bit of smart play (e.g. not going to ground too soon, diving the right way) but none really that make you go 'wow'. Yet we often seem to come up against keepers making those sorts of saves.

Having said that, today's goal, while from that distance I'd expect better from the keeper, I blame more on the outfield players. It was too easy for Burnley to move the ball from the half way line to the edge of our box and get the shot away.

He never makes "that" save, the one you mention when taking after the game.

Murray had a similar strike in the first half which Pope saved comfortably

Horseshit.

Murray's shot was weak. Anyone would have saved that.

Thought he struck it well

Nice turn of phrase. Do you not agree?

I think there's some wiggle room within your premise, yes.

It was a daisy cutter in comparison. Watch how the Hendricks shot curves away from Ryan into the corner, at pace

One was curling slowly towards the keeper, the other was struck hard and fading away from the keeper, other than that they were identical.

I actually thought he didn’t have much chance today, otherwise this.

How many times are we wowed by a Ryan save?

He is a steady and okay keeper but nothing more.

To be fair I didn’t think he had much chance today. However I do feel most shots on target tend to go in with him. If the keepers were at different ends today we would have won, not because Pope would have saved their goal but Ryan would have let at least one of Pope’s saves in.
Very nice guy but I think we need better if we want to progress. Great reaction saver but has no presence in the goal imho!

 

[Boroseagull]

It does concern me that he never dominates his area. When was the last time he came for a cross or a corner? All I ever hear is 'away'!

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Valid point.

No it's not.

That was the valid point.

Maty might well have saved Maupay’s volley.

I wouldn’t have thought so! He doesn’t tend to save anything!

 

[Iggle Piggle]

The goal was Proppers fault. He let Hendrick have the space and was jogging back. Hendricks was his man.

Anyone expecting a keeper to save that. Really?

You have to be taking the piss with this? Is this some kind of in joke I’m not aware of?

Ryan is an excellent keeper, and makes plenty of saves.

Please feel free to remind me of his last above average save? I can’t remember one since he got back from Asia cup last January!

One minute you're saying most shots on target go in but then he's a great reaction saver!

As for presence, he has had Dunk and Duffy being the presence in front of him.

 

[Tiptop24]

His shots on target to goals against ratio is shocking since he returned from the Asian cup.

He ended last season with 60% as goals scored.

This season is not much better.

Today - 1 shot. 1 goal.
Man city - 6 shots. 4 goals.
Saints - 4 shots. 2 goals.
West ham - 3 shot. 1 goal.
Watford - 3 shots. 0 goals.

17 shots on target. 8 goals. 47% goals against for on target shots.

Love maty. But save one.
