He gets a lot of credit for his distribution but it's not as smart when you see it every week. Good but not as good as made out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like him but he’s still definitely a work in progress and I still don’t see that big a difference of an upgrade on Robles. Looking forward to seeing him with a settled back 4 in front of him and pacy attackers to launch the ball to StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barryj Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 I’d of loved to have seen his save at the end of normal time replayed. It looked very good but I only saw it the once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 I thought the long range shot was going wide but I only saw it once. I’m so happy for Jordan. Made up with the players jumping on him. England are definitely going to win something soon. Really impressed with Southgate aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stark contrast to Dier's pen and the 'keeper's attempt; Jordan's was by far the more difficult save while Ospina got probably as much of the ball but didn't have the arm strength to keep it out. Not sure of his contract situation but we need to make sure he's here for the long haul or at least give him an improved one so we can make big money if the vultures circle and his head is turned (see Salah over the park). Local red mate of mine keeps banging on that they'd have won the CL if they'd had him between the sticks. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is by far the best young keeper I have seen for a long time, certainly English keeper. I dont think he has any real flaws and more importantly he has a great mentality. If we dont pull our finger out next season, he will be off, and deservedly so. Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 The one flaw he has is pushing the ball back into play rather than pushing it to the side or over the bar. Good goalie tho, if he can be anywhere near as good as big Nev he'll do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Yes he has made a few simple saves that he hasn’t managed to push round the post. He will learn about danger zones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its harder to do with the way balls swerve these days as its hard to predict the flight but other keepers can do it so he can too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Experts" keep on banging on about this but from what I see he has a very strong arm so when he does push it back into play it's not dropping in front of him for a following up striker to have a tap-in, he's getting distance on it. I'd have thought if the defence is awake to what's likely to happen then it's a better option than giving away a set piece, Colombia goal being an example though obviously a punch wasn't an option on that occasion. Keepers all over the World have been punching the ball far more than ours for as long as I can remember, and many of them have not been waiting 52 years for a trophy. nyblue23 and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 I thought for Everton he didn’t seem to push it into play, not noticed it for England until I read it in the media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen him do it a few times for us and Sunderland and its a strange one. Like you say Mike its always a strong punch so it would take a hell of a reaction but it does go back into the danger area more than it should IMO. Not sure why it happens, likely a slight misjudgement but it is possibly his one flaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
