Or he did a Mellotron of sorts [emoji38]

I was more impressed by the punch he came for. That's a real sign of a keeper gaining in confidence

This was amazing for someone so short

I wasn't very tall but I was an amazing 'keeper

He has been superb in recent games, I love him

Ha, haha. You're a gayer. You said you love him. He's a gayer everyone! Ban him!

Apparently he was signed because of his Agility and the fact that he comes for crosses. We weren't seeing that in the beginning but as he gets over those few early howlers I think it seems to be coming t the fore, slowly but surely, which can only be good

He's a liability or does everyone just have their rose tinted glasses on?

You're all probably the same people who think Knockaert is un-droppable.

EDIT: i'll give him credit he can block too.

Very disappointed in him tonight. He only made one save and took a couple of crosses.

A taller goalkeeper would have been considerably more productive.

This is a good article about growing up in Australia and how his family helped him.

I like this type of thread. We had it with Ryan, Suttner, Gross, Propper etc along the lines of "they're played 3 games and looks sh!t". I guess it just takes time for players to settle in.

Ryan (other than a couple of minor early ricks) has been excellent and all of our signings seem to be really growing into this league.

Or is the league getting smaller.

For being "short" he gets across his goal really well. There was a few free kicks against West Ham that shaved the post and he was right there inside the frame if it needed saving.

Very quick on his feet.

Any change to your views on Shane Duffy? Or do you still think he is rubbish?

Love Maty Ryan - his shot stopping and his passion. But as this thread has come back to the top of the page, can we talk about his kicking? Because it is quite frustrating that a lot of kicks out against WH seemed to involve the ball either going out of play, or giving them back possession and another attack. While Ben Roberts works his magic (hopefully) why are we are not passing it out of defence more?

Having taken every opportunity for the last couple of months to take the p**** out of the heightist nimrods, this is going to be tough to write, but...


Rooney didn't half have a lot of room to place his penalty.
I'd be interested to know (but not interested enough to try and find) Ryan's faced/saved penalty record.

For what we are told is a pretty stressful thing to do, in professional football, having that much room to aim at, must make it a little easier.

I said he was great in the air and at blocking, on the ball he still makes my heart skip a beat!

To be fair, I think it is a tactic to kick it out rather than pass. And also to kick it out to the wings which leaves less room for error than normal for a keeper.

Sounds like a good tactic. Quite a bit of work needed on the execution, but will be great when it starts working.

I think the issue is we have only one target up front so there is a limit to what Ryan can aim for. Maybe the club feel by pushing Murray/Hemed out wide at goal kicks it either takes one of the centre backs out of position or leaves them against a full back. Agree that it isn't quite working yet and it would be good to reduce the number of goal kicks going straight out of play.
