I'm personally torn on Muric, he's young and has room to grow but he's got to find some consistency. These awful errors are going to kill any hope of staying up.
I'm not sure I've seen a much better GK performance than that Brighton game and he rightly got all the plaudits. Against City, West Ham, Everton and again yesterday he made some brilliant 1 v 1 saves. And then he goes from the brilliant to the completely abject with that at the end! Yes, O'Shea should head it but no one even jumps for the ball, Muric is just slow to react.
Mads Hermansen has had a clanger this year but aside from him, the bottom half PL keepers are very consistent. They don't give away cheap goals.
He has to find some consistency and fast. |  | | |  |

Let him find it on the bench, it’s impossible to be inconsistent there. Walton in. | | | |

I think he's been a nice scapegoat for defensive frailties (particularly at full / wingback positions).
Walton isn't a better goalkeeper, and neither was Hladky. | | | |

Scapegoat? He’s calamitous. Walton is better than Muric. Walton in. | | | |

I fine it absolutely insane that our coaching team sat down, and decided he was to be our first choice keeper.

For myself, I think he's been fairly consistent at mostly, ridiculous, costly, cock-ups. |  |

Comfortably the worse keeper in the PL from what I’ve seen so far | |

At the moment it's not about who's the best keeper it's who's the least worse.
For me muric has looked like an expensive version of Holy. |  |

There's a huge step up in competition, a huge step up in amount of play in our half / box.
Because of that, I don't think we can compare Walton to Muric fairly. But we should be looking at the whole defensive shape IMO, not just the guy right at the back. I look across all the back four (and Morsy and Phillips) and see too many mistakes when in possession.
We are badly missing Greaves and Tuanzebe, but other than those two nobody is beyond some serious question | | | |

It’s worse than that. We paid actual money for a “goalkeeper intelligence partner” to help make the decision.

A big part of how we play is utilising the keeper… who is comfortable at playing… weird situation isn’t it [Post edited 28 Oct 2024 11:36]

He’s a gamble…. Makes saves he shouldn’t and doesn’t necessarily make saves he should.
Which must be pretty unsettling for the defence in front of him…. who in turn can’t get a settled line-up established due to injuries, from the run-of-the-mill (Greaves) and the ridiculous (Tuanzebe).
That’s on top of us throwing away at least six points now through the medium of conceding very cheap and soft goals.
That’s a worry, and is undoing what on the whole have been performances which have been generally decent. (West Ham second half and Everton apart). |  |

Agree, we're making mistakes defensively as a unit. Of all of Brentford's goals yesterday you can say he was responsible for one fook up with their winner. Harry Clarke sliding into his own goal? Not sure what he was thinking there. Failing to pick up runners, poor marking, poor clearances. None of that is down to Muric. |  |

The money we paid for Muric and Ogbene,,, best part of 20mill right there. Surely we could have spent that money better for what are two really vital areas of the pitch.
I get it’s hard to assemble a prem-ready squad in two months and the club in all areas is playing catch-up, but still. Maybe we’ve been spoilt with previous excellent transfer windows. | |

We’ve been spoilt by not having to play premier league teams before now. |  | | |

Unpopular opinion maybe but I think the reaction to Muric yesterday and since has been way OTT for me. A lot of emotive stuff because of the way the last goal went in and the time it did but as others have said there were bad errors in the other goals by other players.
We've not had a settled back line all season and the two that have looked the best are out injured which doesn't help the chemistry back there.
The one thing I think Muric needs to improve at is being more assertive on when he's coming for something (or not) - he doesn't come for stuff he should and other times comes for stuff then changes his mind. As above that sort of thing would get smoothed out if he had a consistent defence in front of him to build an understanding with. |  |

I just find it bizarre that we get promoted and we spend £10 mill on a keeper who wasn't even first choice in the previous season at this level from a side who got relegated and despite so preferred not to play Muric. Well aware he did finally get the nod however but it took a while.
Surely there was a goalkeeper who'd played week in week out last season available who would have wanted a prem move..
The big thing for me is we've never been a side under KM who stops crosses coming in. Add that to a goalkeeper who doesn't know when to come or not and you're asking for trouble. | |

100% this. We can argue all we like about how good he is and whether Walton should get a shot, but it’s as clear as day he’s not a footballing keeper of the type that served our style so well last season. Square peg, round hole (cracking shot stopper though!). |  |

Walton isn't a better goalkeeper, and neither was Hladky. |
The Hladky bashing is just odd. He had his errors but feels like Muric has made the entire amount Hladky made in an entire season. Also, Vas had a good ability to get himself out of trouble and of course the distribution.
We cant really say the same about Muric so far.
I think we have gotten a little too carried away with playing the large fee signings over the form players sadly- at least thats how it appears so far. |  | | |
