[Albion] Maty Ryan. Discuss.

[Renegade1]

This. Good penalty kick and great save,

As I said.

The media would be creaming themselves if Messi had saved that , absolutely top draw save .

Taller than Maty, so would have got there easily.

 

[Spangles]

Pat Jennings. Bruce Grobbelar and Dino Zoff were all his height or thereabouts.

Blimey. Good knowledge sir. In which case, Ryan is clearly not the best sub-6ft keeper ever.

Campos was 5' 6" and only made 130 appearances for Mexico.

 

[Whitley Bayster]

He's a brilliant keeper and has been excellent all season but his one flaw at the moment is his long range kicking. He regularly puts a few straight out of play conceding possession. He did it at Everton two or three times when we were really struggling to get hold of the ball.

The very same who has now rushed off his line and jumped under a cross on a number of occasions.

Great shot stopper but a very suspect with crosses.

That's what he looks like to me, amazing penalty save but very flappy on crosses.

Potential to be best keeper we've had I think

I'm not disputing that, much, but do wonder if Maty's greatness is exaggerated by the views at the start of this thread.

He’s a way to go yet

It's lucky this is a tolerant forum, who's motto ought to be 'forgive and forget'

I can't help but toot my own horn (not in a sexual way) about how reactive Maty appeared to me, that he could cat-like leap at shots.

Not sure it’s a flaw. He tries to be very precise, often aiming for a player right on the touchline, so the margin of error is very small between hitting the player and sailing over his head into touch. Bound to happen 2-3 times a game - would rather that, with the regular very good kicks to decent positions than a big hoof down the middle. Stockdale was the same - it’s obviously something the coaching team work on.

(prediction made on 21/8/17:

Prediction: some posters on here will be calling Matty Ryan the best gk in the PL by the end of March 2018.

Not someone from this message board and not declared the best but "one of the best," but it does say something about this prediction and it happened by the end of March.

A taller keeper would have held that.

Lucky he has a right hand and a pair of eyes too.
