Fraser Forster

And he still has 2 & half / 3 years left on his contract so we'll get top dollar for him aslong as he's punted by next season. Or hopefully he gets his Rio call up and decides he wants to stay with celtic.

I think its essential to have a good keeper in the team and if we sell him we better have someone just as good. Unfortunetley that's very unlikley, he's like hooper in that sense. Usually need to pay top dollar for a keeper of his caliber.

 

Hopefully last night was the beginning of a great run of form again. I don't think he has been poor, but he hasn't hit the same heights of the Champions League last year since returning from injury, until last night. The 3 saves he made near the end were superb. The double save was incredible, I don't think Sanchez could quite believe he had kept it out.

 

Incredible from the big guy last night, those saves at the end were world class.

The double save was unreal!

 

Couple of world class saves last night that's for sure, however he's getting worse with crosses. That flappy thing he did in the first half, he was lucky not to push in to his own net.

 

It's embarrassing that a man of his size and stature is such a * * at times when the ball comes into his box in the air - he'll never be a world class goalkeeper until he finally grows a set.

Pulled off some amazing saves though, top class.

 

Outstanding last night. After Barcelona scored the big man done everything he possibly could to make sure they didn't get past him again.

 

Deserved to keep a cleansheet. The big man is immense and has probably outshone Boruc in the Champions League.

 

really top class saves for sure but got to agree about the cross balls .

 

The double save was superb. Although his kicking from hand was really poor last night.

 

His kickin in general i find pretty poor. Do we still have an ex GAA coach on our books at CP? If we do still get him training him on kick outs

 

Easily.

 

Why are people slating his kicking?9/10 he finds Sammy's head or whoever he's kicking to,that's with both his left and right foot.Of course he's going to flounder the odd kick.His only weakness is from set pieces/corners.

 

Some first class stops last night... which will likely have drawn admiring glances from down south. I expect some decent bids in the winter!

He would be the real deal if his decision making was better under high balls.

 

His kicking is still really bad, most of the time a goal kick ends in the stands. Dunno * they work on with the goalkeeping coach. His shot stopping is great, no denying that.

 

Agree. Don't think there's much wrong with his kicking and the only thing I wish he was more competent on is coming for cross balls and being more decisive in that area. The first goal we lost against Karagandy for instance was because he never came for an easy cross ball that was merely 3 or 4 yards in front of him and at 6ft 7 he should be claiming those easily. Think he done the same in the home match against them which resulted in them hitting the bar/post.

Needs to be more dominant in coming for easy balls like that but other than that I think he's top notch.

 

Joe hart just let in another questionable goal. Think Forster has a really good shout at number 1 in the England squad this season.

 

Not for me. Hart has been * for ages now but his position is assured.

 

Some brilliant stops from Forster last night. The Champions League bringing the best out of him once again. I will say this too. keeping it to a one goal game could prove crucial in the final analysis in this group as I can easily see goal difference being a factor. Hopefully Barcelona will give Milan and Ajax a few right good doings over the next 3 games and have first place in the group already sown up by the time we visit them for the last game in the group.

 

With Joe Hart once again looking dodgy tonight surely Fraser has a good chance of an England cap? He really does deserve it.
