We should consider getting Emi back though. And play him as a 9.

Absolutely agree. I still think of Martinez, Butter Wrists and Ramsdale, that Ramsdale is slightly the best if the three ahead of Emi, and both of them miles ahead of Butter Wrists, but when Ramsdale has the ball at his feet or is exchanging suicide passes with our defenders in the box, my heart is in my mouth.Retro Gunner wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 4:34 pmDB10GOONER wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:34 pmRamsdale has his issues, no doubt, but that fingertip match-saving save onto the crossbar was quality.

Good save no doubt, DB, but there'd have been murders on here if he hadn't made it. Few, not even me, doubt his ability as a shot stopper (although the ball can fly anywhere off him) but it's his positioning, decision making and his flapping at crosses that worry me. Oh and his fucking about with the ball at his feet.
As for Emi, he deserved all he got today, given his time wasting, but the goals don't reflect on his ability. Emery was unhappy that he went up for the corner, so that's on Martinez, but the goals were nothing to do with poor goalkeeping.
It has become evident on here recently that more and more posters have doubts about Ramsdale, but there's a reluctance to air those doubts fully. Not sure why that is, but he clearly makes people nervous. I've said all along that I hope he comes good, but I'm quite a way from being convinced yet.
But not as much as Leno passing to Mustafi or Luiz !DB10GOONER wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 6:18 pmAbsolutely agree.

Do the likes of Courtois and Pope play golf?SteveO 35 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 19, 2023 8:50 amRamsdale is surely the best shot stopper around at the moment. The catalogue of great saves is growing by the week. Yes he's a bit flappy at set plays sometimes and probably lacks that mature, calming presence at times....but that save yesterday was simply brilliant and a game changer in terms of the direction of the season
