Gritty win, great comeback and how crazy was that couple of mins, they get 3-3 and then go up and win it.
Big result, they tough to beat at home and only 2nd loss, can't see many teams winning easily there.
Not ideal for us to concede 3 but again, they attack well at home, big statement win and now top.
Disappointed again with Meslier for first 2 goals but until we get in a better Gk, it is what.
So impressed by Tanaka, what a machine and for me, it's him and Amps in MF (when back) .
James and Soloman very good but still not convinced by BA and Piroe.
For me, these are must solve areas in Jan, think just need 2 players in, was hoping MJ the answer but not yet.
Have to get a forward, is david Fofana available?, think he on loan but be good addition.
As for CMF, talk of Mcatee, i also think Borja Sianz ( norwich) very good.
Luton up next.

First goal was great goal how you put that on mes is a joke

Second was a ball across the goal (so mes started at near post) then a deflection taking it into the opposite corner in off the post. No keeper in the world saves them

Mes negativity shows lack of understanding of the position

Pirol deep lying play for our third goal was class.

It's a cumulative 3 year plus effect of Statue Le Gash; we have needed a better more assured gk since 2021/ 22

He has regressed, certainly hasn't improved nor developed in last 3 years ; he was actually a much better gk in 20/ 21 season.

Second goal today instead of being on his toes shuffling to the middle of goal

. he was ( again ) statueesque waiting for a shot

whilst being wayyy out of position. wayy too much to his left of goal

# Sunday league keeper antics.

CHALLENGE

Can anyone on here explain to us of any goalkeeping aspect Meslier has actually IMPROVED upon during past 3 seasons?

Good luck!

25 Nov 2024 05:04:49
Sorry to be killjoy baz but his catching has improved from downright non existent to suspect.

25 Nov 2024 05:19:56
That’s why he was the goalkeeper of the season in the Championship last season!
You don’t know what you are saying, just rubbish as usual.
I have to say by even winning a very tough away game at Swansea it almost looks like some are disappointed that we won, got the three points and now sit top of the table, what more do you want?

25 Nov 2024 07:04:09
He has the most clean sheets in the league and conceded the least amount of goals in total.
Enough for you?
There was not much he could have done yesterday with the goals that went in his net, more down to unusual poor defending by us and a tough attacking Swansea.
It was refreshing to finally see a team who had a go at us.
Baz you should spend more of your idle time praising our players especially when we win instead of slagging them off all the time.

25 Nov 2024 08:19:45
Baz, there are valid concerns on some parts of Meslier’s game but when you blame every goal we concede on him, when they clearly aren’t his fault, it massively weakens your point and just shows you have a petty agenda.

25 Nov 2024 09:04:11
Agree OP, a great victory against a very good team, who will beat a lot of teams with their new management team going forward.
3 points, Top of the League, what a great way to start the week!

25 Nov 2024 10:21:19
Classic Aus; fair point ; I agree . its the only aspect that has ( marginally ) improved.

25 Nov 2024 10:32:31
Oh dear OP feebly trotting out the clean sheet fallacy ?

A clean sheet is often only down to a defence.

Plenty of statistical surveys out there citing significant percentage of clean sheets in Europes top leagues have been kept without the keeper even making a save .

AND plenty of examples of this of Mes not having to save even a shot in matches

* Save to shot stats far, far more reliable indicator of gk ability.

25 Nov 2024 10:45:51
Brockers

No agenda; justifiable deep concerns

And pertinently

1) please could you detail your valid concerns of Mes ability? . which gk aspects?

And

2) also give details of any alleged Mes gk strengths that you may perceive?

25 Nov 2024 11:36:13
I’m bored of repeating myself but goalkeeper of the the season last season.

25 Nov 2024 12:20:00
Actually OP the official EFL team of. season had Hermanson in goal not Mes ??
You also haven't been able to identify any of his own INDIVIDUAL gk strengths or improvements.

25 Nov 2024 14:55:05
Baz is right to a degree

Few years back was best young keeper in the world and pulling of saves on a consistent basis like no other goalkeeper I have seen other than David de gea

Martyn said… he is far better than I was at that age

Yet mes hasn’t quite progressed as I’d of hoped. If he did he would be at Real Madrid and up for one of the greatest ever

That said he still has ability to pull off world class saves like the one against lecister which was as good a save as you will ever see and won us three points

Is he perfect no, is he best in the leauge, yes if you listen to footballers and football writer who voted for him

Has he improve one part of his game, yes his command of the area and catching of crosses has improved vastly

Is bazs opinion worth listening to… I’ll let you lot make up your mind on that.

Amendment for Berma you mean

* nth degree

A fairish post Berma.
