    Has zero command or presence in goal.

    So much has been made about his "distribution" aye well square the ball 15 yards to the closest defender he is good at that.

    I think Gordon is the better of the two, tbh.

    Not impressed with him at all, Gordon is the better of the two. Gordon makes mistakes but he's a better shot stopper. We need a new keeper in January or give Bailly his chance when fit.

    Aye, he's good at picking the ball out the net and distributing it to the striker for centre :icon_mrgreen:

    No agility, poor at shot stopping, he can only save shots which are going in his direction. His distribution is decent and he's vocal, and that's about it.

    I want him benched, but problem is who to play, because all of our GK's are just average dross.

    It's still early but he doesn't fill me with confidence. I can only imagine how the defenders feel.

    It's pretty straightforward.

    We've dropped probably the best Scottish goalie of our generation .. for a *.

    A journeyman, run-of the mill goalie.

    Baffling.

    Lettace wrists. Unacceptable signing and poor judgement by Rodgers.

    Forget the goals, the cross. The one that sticks out to me is the late free kick from Tansey. It's fired wide of the far side, De Vries has a good starting position, but as it's blazing across to eventually go behind, De Vries' feet are moving at an elderly person's pace and he stretches his arms out like he's desperate to get there. He moves very slow, and stays on his line far too much. Couple that with the fact that his kicking has seemed no better than Gordon's and he has no command whatsoever, I'm running out of patience to see this Nottingham Forest POTY. 4 starts and he's barely stopped a * thing.

    He won Forest POTY last season aye? Surely some Champ side would be willing to take him in Jan based on that alone.

    Beyond pish.
