Sarto Mutiny Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 (edited) 39 minutes ago, Mark Connolly said: I like Fletcher as a player, but the way we play doesn't suit him, and we don't have the right kind of players to help him either. He absolutely knocks his pan in when he plays, but we are definitely better without him at the moment. Although that's still not very good Absolutely, I have no complaints about his efforts, and I cannot say that about every United player this season. However, our style of play does not suit him. It's almost as if we don't really know what we are doing. Being bottom of the league for the six weeks of the World Cup is going to be fucking depressing though. We really need to beat Killie, but we won't. We'll get horsed at Pittodrie next Saturday. Edited November 5, 2022 by Sarto Mutiny 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Having watched Sportscene, the keeper did make a couple of saves, so there is something there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although that's still not very good I'd expect a player that' "absolutely knocks their pan in" to occasionally break out of a gentle jog. Don't see it myself, but in fairness we have bigger problems than Fletcher 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportscene didn't show the raft of mistakes he made - most comically of all when Edwards injured him to the extent he was in need of treatment due to his own inability to command his box. Truly dreadful (as is his compatriot) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I suppose the one good thing about this shambles of a world cup is 4 game days less until we can sign a new keeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had one of them. Having Nicky Clark around seems to help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Keepers we have are nobodies first choice, just the only choices. The young lad (Newman is it?) must only have one arm and be registered blind or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetterlund Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Eriksson looks like the less terrible of the two for me at the moment. I'd take the occasional rush of blood to the head or brain fart over not actually looking like a goalkeeper. Birighitti looks like an outfield player forced to play in goal - his technique is just bizarre at times and quite a few of the goals he's conceded have gone through his gloves like a playstation FIFA glitch. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen Newman play, but he'd really be going something special to be worse than those pair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Were the two keepers not meant to be great in their home leagues? Remember the hype round the Finnish keeper when he signed and he was apparently one of the best in the league. I was a bit suspect at the time considering he was joining up with you lot to be second choice at the time. Then, Australian fans were absolutely beeling on Twitter when you signed Birighitti. You paid money for him and Jack Ross apparently pushed for it (who prior to joining you, seemed to have a good eye for a player). Sort the keeper out and you'll still probably be safe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
