Lot of people desperate to dig out Muric again 17:10 - Dec 14 with 5565 views | ReusersTown | Seems we've got the usual situation where those that have stuck their colours to the mast about Muric are more desperate to be right than do what is right for the team. You might also want to keep your powder dry, it looks like a big deflection off Clarke to me. |  | | |  |

He does ok on occasions but ultimately he could easily cost us our place in this league, ask Burnley fans. Southampton throw, Bournemouth, etc Late on in games, it's fecking ignorance. |  |

I saw some small moments after we conceded - but do you not think having some fans on his back constantly contributes to this? He has to be aware of this negativity, and it can play on his confidence. Last week in the SBR Upper there was a Neanderthal behind me constantly shouting abuse at Muric (and the language with young kids around us was despicable). Morons like this are undermine our team, and for me take much of the blame. Unfortunately there are a few posters on here that fall into the same category …. |  | |  |

Lot of people desperate to dig out Muric again on 17:26 - Dec 14 by Cheltenham_Blue | Most posters on here know nothing about goal keeping. You can never fully protect your near post or you are opening up too much of the goal for the attacker. You play the percentages. Also the shot took a nick off Clarke, without that Muric saves. Most of the opinion on here following the goal is just reflecting Gary Birtles thoughts, someone who last played top flight football nearly 40 years ago and never played in goal in his life. You might as well be asking Saint and Greavsie about goalkeeping. [Post edited 14 Dec 2024 17:29]

Is it the same bloke behind me at PR that for 3 consecutive seasons now has moaned when Walton/Hladky/Muric are playing it short from a goal kick, as it’s seen as ‘risky’ and would rather them just get rid… to then when they do go long on a goal kick, moans and says ‘who the hell is that to then?’. |  |

It IS risky. And it creates tension. And you just want to shout "get it away". But after all this time, you have to just grit your teeth against your instincts and recognise that (as today) it usually retains possession, and often opens space to progress. |  | |  |
Lot of people desperate to dig out Muric again on 20:36 - Dec 14 with 1074 views | BlueOura | 100% agree. Certain people can't wait to dig him out it seems which is pretty sad from so called 'supporters' I don't think it was an error from Muric today, it was a fiercly struck shot from quite close in that got a deflection on the way. It's a bit of a myth that a keeper should never be beaten on his near post. Having played in goal myself, sometimes the shot is just too good and you dont have time to react. I love Muric personally, he is a very talented keeper and I find him entertaining to watch as well. I will take the rough with the smooth for now and enjoy watching him develop and improve under McKenna and his coaching staff. |  | |  |

Could be - certainly similar comments. Always critical of playing short balls. And very fond of using the C-word towards the keeper. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Lot of people desperate to dig out Muric again on 21:57 - Dec 14 with 1001 views | MK1 | I really do not like these type of pile ons. He is an Ipswich Town player and we should all be backing him. McKenna obviously rates him and that should be enough for all of us. He has made some outstanding saves this season and if McKenna is happy, then I am. Please stop it. It ain't big and it ain't clever. |  |

After every game some seem to pick a player and run with it. Even last season some were calling certain player out constantly. It's pathetic keyboard warriors who have no idea what it take to be a high end footballer. The best thing to do, is trust the manager and back our players regardless. Goalkeepers will always be got at, but Muric has made less mistakes that or outfield players, just that of where he plays it is highlighted more. A miss pass in midfield can be corrected, but by a goalkeeper it can result in a goal. The nature of the beast. Just trust the manager and back whoever he picks. He knows better than all of us on here put together. |  |

I was under the impression we were ok to discuss football on here, as it’s a football forum, specifically about ITFC. If, after a game, I think Omari has been a bit off, Delap gave the ball away, Burgess was amazing, or the keeper didn’t fill me with confidence… I’ll mention it. If, after a game, you can’t possibly read anything you don’t agree with, hit ignore. |  |

Lot of people desperate to dig out Muric again on 22:26 - Dec 14 with 895 views | Swansea_Blue | We’ve always loved an escaped goat when things don’t go well. Muric is ‘lucky’ enough to be this season’s chosen one. He’s made a few bloopers, but also kept us in matches. He’s a 7/10 for me now and KM seems to think he’s got lots of room to improve. It’s hardly the worst position to be in. |  |

Lot of people desperate to dig out Muric again on 17:49 - Dec 14 by FrimleyBlue | That onana save was ridiculous. Even the shot was brilliant by delap as it went in the opposite directing you'd normally as a keeper expect it to go.. but onana met that test equally. Incredible save |
I agree with you. As you rightly say, ridiculous. I had a really good view of it and that save was up there with the best. It was a blink of the eye, watch, see the replay and quite frankly say well done. |  | |  |

I can think of some farmers (and a few English language purists) who would lose their sh*t over an escaped goat. 😱 |  |

there's a difference between saying what you just did, and the constant digging out of Muric and I'm pretty sure that you're well aware of it... |  | |  |

That’s the problem for me, the “room for improvement”. At 26 we’ve looked at Muric as a good investment at £10m because he could have a long career here and get better-and-better. A no brainer really from an investment point-of-view but the reality is, he will make mistakes as he’s got a lot of work to do to grow into being the finished article. In our position knowing the tough season we’ll have, more experience would have been a better bet. If we can ride the next 6 - 10 games without any more calamities he’ll get stronger in the second half of the season but that’s a big IF and a gamble. Gambling at this level is very uncharacteristic of us, which is odd and raises question marks over the policy for me. |  | |  |
