[Albion] Maty Ryan. Discuss.

[Stat Brother]

not 100% I understand, he has done four or five double saves notwithstanding our centre backs and been MoM for me numerous times, I think he has earned/saved more points for us than any other player this season, I may have misread/understood your post

Of course.

You wondering why in your time you've been blessed with watching quality Albion keepers?

My reply is basically:-
if the club signed or developed centre backs the way they do centre forwards, I doubt you'd look upon the 'keepers of your time quite so fondly, because they'd have to work a damn sight harder to keep the score down

I feel exactly the same about most of our 'keepers and I just about start with Eric Steele, but more so Graham Moseley.
But for every Leon Best the club has always had at least 3 Lewis Dunk's.
Or 3 Steve Foster's to 1 Mike Trusson.

I was lucky to see Peter Grummit in the mid 70’s. Another brilliant keeper.

The exception to all these greats .... Graeme Smith. Enough said.

The speed that he gets up the pitch when we score I'm surprised no one has suggested him up front. Two good feet, he could keep up with Izquierdo, I think I'm onto something

 

[Simontheseagull]

Yeah. but if you have looked at the goals Matty has conceded, 4 inch platorm boots would have made all the diffference. Gary Nevile would have beenn the besEngland centre half ever had if he had been talller.

Before anyone else says it, Knockaert scored with his right foot yesterday.

If only he would use it more often and not have to turn to get it on his left foot to put in a cross

 

[Bodian]

So get worried every time an opposition gets within 5 yards of any of our players? You must be pretty nervous!

It's a bit different when it's the keeper! And at Newcastle last week they got within a couple of yards a few times; at least it looked that way - but at the angle and height we were at, it's could have been a bit deceptive....

 

[dazzer6666]

I can't stop looking at that picture.

Its ridiculous. He's the size of a ****ing HOUSE.

And it isn't a picture taken and posted by a fan / opposition fan, as a piss-take. Its from an official Birmingham City account.

Quite staggering really, given the analysis they undergo and available nutritional advice/monitoring. Looks like he’s got a double chin !

 

[ac gull]

The way it works at Brum the bigger you are the harder you are - just have to get loud as well then you fit in just fine

 

[Shooting Star]

Kept us in the game after the first two went in. Love him.

 

[Stat Brother]

I wish he had a save to make yesterday then I'd be justified in ing this bundle of joy.

Liability.

Risked pulling a hamstring by running to celebrate Jose's screamer - clearly told to cut it out because he didn't move when PG scored. Add in a bit of crowd incitement by jumping the barrier at the end and posing for selfies and I want him nowhere near the club...

I'm perplexed by this post. When you see Hughton going mad on the touchline it instils madness on the pitch. This is down to CH, not Matty.

 

[Stat Brother]

I would love it if we could sign a goalkeeper that could catch a football...

In the last three games he's played in he has either near enough thrown the ball into the goal or fumbled it into their strikers. For me it's £5 million down the pan.

Either give maenpaa a go or try and recruit again. As far as I can see Ryan is a liability

Fumbled another into Charlie Adam today, get rid.

 

[Megazone]

Should've caught the penalty.

Bring back Stockdale.

 

[spence]

My favorite Albion player. Always rated Ryan

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Had nothing to do but save a penalty. It was from a sweaty for gods sake, don't sing it up too much, it's a sweaty.... and the sweaty hasn't played for a while

 

[maffew]

Thank you Maty we didnt deserve to lose that and you made that not happen

There is nothing left to debate.

No way, there's far to much fun to be had.
