No different to several miss placed passes by our defence and midfield in the final third of the pitch, so why single out the keeper for this? |
Because he’s consistently poor with his feet is why. |  | | |

Yeah we deffo want Walton whose been on the bench his entire career and has never played this level consistently, is worse with his feet, is less commanding in the air and a worse shop stopper
Thankfully KM won’t drop Muric |

Delaney was a regular starter at Hull for SIX seasons and at QPR for another two before joining us.
To compare his past record before playing for us with Muric’s is like comparing night and day.
Unlike Muric, Hull and QPR fans didn’t warn us Delaney was $hite and a master of self destruction when we signed him.
Unlike Muric, no manager binned Delaney after just a couple of games.
Unlike Muric, Delaney only cost us £750,000. Muric cost 12 times that or even more. Expectations go up when someone is Ipswich Town’s record GK signing.
I’m not comparing Muric with Hladky, but for a Prem GK he is shocking. Reminds me of Bazunu at Saints last season. Even if we couldn’t afford Kelleher we should have gone for Cooper or WBA’s Palmer. |
He was booed out of the club here. He got the treatment alright. £750,000 to a championship club in 2009. So prices for players haven’t changed in 15 years. If you say so. Nobody said Muric was ‘sh£te’. Prone to errors yes. I didn’t see that much howling from Burnley fans on here but I don’t do those paragons of knowledge and truth Twitter/X.
Look, you loath Muric and if you go to games no doubt pile in on him. You pay your money so fair do’s and if you keep working at him you should be able to drive him out of the club. You’ll get plenty of support.
Perhaps you can tackle McKenna on why he signed a ‘sh£te’ player and why he continues to play him when other, presumably better in your view, managers binned him ‘after just a couple of games’? As for the other players you mention, perhaps you can ask about them too? His answers will make interesting reading. |  | | |

The Newcastle keeper shanked one out for a throw the other day. Don’t remember that being commented on. Human beings making mistakes? Shouldn’t be allowed. There are elements to Muric’s game I’m not over the moon about, but this demonising of him is getting ridiculous.
As for Hladky, he got found out in the second half of the season and didn’t find it anywhere near as easy to set up from the back. He made plenty of mistakes too. Do people think he’d have found it easier in the PL? I don’t. It’s a hazard of how the manager wants the team to play out.
Given the level of abuse he’s getting, I doubt Muric will be a good player for us. But he will be for somebody else. So things to improve on and as a keeper his prime is yet to come, probably elsewhere.
It reminds me a bit of Damien Delaney situation. He got dogs abuse here. Many in the crowd got their dearest wish and off he went. To Crystal Palace where he made 170 appearances, five out of six seasons in the Premier League while we wallowed around in the Championship. Fair to say he had the last laugh. |
Our defenders also put it out for a throw more than once last night to no reaction.
The clueless hypocrites bemoaning Muric never mention the mistakes Hladky made last season, or the step up in level. The fact some are blaming him for the goal speaks volumes. They just want to hammer him regardless rather than actually appreciate the game being played.
We had far worse mistakes being made last night than him trying to hit it into the channels and it going out. Omari and Clarke for example both failed to play a decent ball to get us in. Likewise when Muric broke their lines to set away Omari from a backpass these people said nothing. Totally changed Arsenal and made them switch on. |  |

Nothing up with his positioning. Havertz got in between Greaves and a late to react and tuck in Davis.
Davis has cost us nearly as many goals as Muric but seems to escape all criticism. |
Davis was solid last night and defended deep and well against a tricky Arsenal right side.
Not sure what some expect - seems to be 100% brilliant all the time. Totally unreasonable expectations. Many goals from that side are because he's told to push forward, context is important.

Correct. Davis is having an appalling season. He’ll never be good enough for this level. |
Davis was excellent defensively last night. He must have won about five of six headers in the first half which is something you would normally associate with Burgess. |  |

Yep great stats tonight:
Kicked it directly out of play three times
Only managed to hammer it at a defender to deal with once
Somehow let a ball squeeze through his near post once
Managed about one half arsed clap to the away end
Made two routine saves (his job)
Great performance real improvement. [Post edited 28 Dec 2024 1:05]

I’d be looking a little more closely at some of our outfield players that couldn’t string a pass together during that first half.
That’s their job. | |

Wow, clearly a comment from someone that has never played in goal. I’d be looking at how that cross was allowed to get in that position rather than questioning Muric positioning. | |

I know it's trendy to throw him under the bus but he isn't quite as bad as people think, his mistakes are just magnified by the fact we are under a lot of pressure in the Prem
Much like Jack Clarke, he'll grow into an important player for us
There's no evidence Hladky would have been any more reliable in the Prem although I'd suspect his kicking would be better and I suspect we will be very lucky to ever find a keeper better than Hladky on the deck frankly |
This love in for Hladky, I find really strange, especially as he can’t get in the Burnley side against a keeper that Muric replaced towards the end of last season.
People have short memories, most wanted Hladky out of the club the way he started under Cook. If he was good enough clubs would’ve come in for him higher than Burnley in the Championship. There’s no doubt he did a great job for us last season, but let’s not kid ourselves he didn’t make mistakes. [Post edited 28 Dec 2024 13:01]

It makes me laugh. Third goal against Newcastle, Town fans moaning about him passing that ball to Cajuste, main complaint being both are under pressure from pressing N'cstl players, so in that situation just boot it up field even if it goes out. Last night he was under pressure and this time he boots it up field and it goes out, Town fans moan about him just kicking it up field rather than passing it.
As you say the entitled fans have decided him and Harry will be this year's scapegoats. |
100%. It doesn’t matter what Muric does, some have already made up their minds about him and are just looking for the slightest mistake to point fingers at him. | |

No Hladky = No promotion to the Premier League. It's really that simple. The amount of goals we scored that started from him and the amount of game saving saves he made made a big difference to the outcome of the season. | |

Only that’s not what happened and you’ve made up your own context just to call fans out. The fact that you think on both those counts his decision making and ability isn’t questionable is a warped logic which completely undermines your point. | | | |

“Clueless hypocrites” 😂😂😂
And you quote the Clarke and Omari examples as good points to counter balance Muric kicking a dead ball out for a dead ball?
As for the Hladky point, Hladky was a second choice keeper from L2 who had barely played for two seasons. He made mistakes as all keepers do and all keepers get special dispensation. Hladky probably made as many mistakes over the course of the season as Muric has in half a season and didn’t cost £10m to see us through a brutal league where every mistake gets punished and magnified. That’s the difference snd why Muric is coming in for a lot of attention.
Walton in. | | | |

Sorry, that’s a complete sweeping statement. If he was that good he’s be starting for Burnley ahead of Trafford - he’s not. He’s on the bench and has been all season. | |

He was the right keeper for McKenna's style of football for our promotion season.
Burnley paid £15 million for Trafford and they don't play the same style of football we did last season. | |

Trafford is good with his feet, as we saw when he played for Bolton in L1 against us, but he made too many mistakes whilst playing for Burnley in the EPL, hence why he was dropped for Muric, who came in and did well. [Post edited 28 Dec 2024 14:29]

I’d suggest some people should watch the Newcastle v Villa MOTD highlights. When under pressure even the best goalkeeper in the world currently gets that pass wrong sometimes. In Martinez’s case his pass doesn’t even reach his own player, so even worse than Muric’s mistake. | | | |

Cooper’s kicking is very poor. Overall I would suggest Muric has gained us points. If you want a (near) perfect keeper you are looking at £50m+. |  | | |
| Muric on 16:46 - Dec 28 with 881 views | FrimleyBlue |
Wasn't motm but did nothing wrong.
Sure a few kicks went out. But many keeprs do when going long.
With all the poor passes going on in front of him. Anyone criticising his passing are being very hypocritical unless they bring up those by others. |  |

Have you ever played in goal at any level - even at school? I’m assuming not!
Last game he got beaten at his near post. This game he closes that gap and has the ball closed in front of him instead. Absolutely no blame on him for that goal. Sometimes we just have to accept that a team played well and got a good goal against us rather than always find reasons why we are at fault.
Was he poor for the disallowed goal? I don’t think so - by then he knew offside was going to be given.
On the question of his poor kicking - yes, imo some was poor, 3 straight out of touch and a very heavy pass to Cajuste that put us under pressure. But we were under immense pressure and no one was able to play calm passes in the first half. |  |
