Muric.... 00:59 - Oct 27 with 2500 views | kizaitfc | I have tried my best to defend him and hope he would come good but I just don't see anything. I am not going to make the argument that Hladky should have stayed because noone here knows what he was asking for in the contract and I think a large portion of fans didn't think he was good enough for the prem. But let's face it Muric is not the answer I'd like to see us give Walton a chance or maybe even Slicker in the coming weeks. It will take a brave manager but McKenna has plenty of credit and respect in the bank to make a bold decision like that. |  |

It’s not just many of our supporters saying it - see the comments of several Brentford fans on their forum, eg “worst keeper in the Prem”. |  |

Muric.... on 07:12 - Oct 27 with 2101 views | CopfordBlue | His performance against Brighton was as good as I’ve ever seen from an Ipswich goalkeeper. He’s also pulled off great saves in pretty much every other game including yesterday. He definitely has something. He’s young for a goalkeeper, at a new club with a defence in front of him that hasn’t been the same for two consecutive games. Kieran will do what’s right. It wouldn’t a surprise to see Walton back even if it’s just short term but if KM stick with Muric then so should we. |  |

I think he’ll stick with him. If you look at the goals prevented stats, Muric is -0.4 which is the same as Vicario and better than Sa&Johnstone, Areloa, Leno, Pickford, Flekken, Kepa, Raya (and Steele but he’s only played twice) |  |

"I think he’ll stick with him. If you look at the goals prevented stats, Muric is -0.4" is this what football has come to...., |  | |  |
Muric.... on 08:09 - Oct 27 with 1843 views | Reus30 | Muric does make some good saves which is great. His distribution and composure is very poor. His handling is even worse. He gives the defence zero confidence. Walton isn't a better shot stopping but he is miles better at the other parts of the game. I also think others who seem to lack confidence need to step out too. Some really good performances today but we need to find the right lineup and quick. I think we are nearly there. |  | |  |
Muric.... on 08:22 - Oct 27 with 1796 views | GlasgowBlue | I was a big fan of Hladky but I’ve no problem if the club thought the position needed to upgraded for our Premier League campaign. What I can’t understand is why we went for a keeper who had previously made so many calamitous mistakes previously. There is no way he should have been on our list of targets. |  |

He hadn't though. He made a couple of mistakes (as all keepers do lets be honest) but was statistically one of the best keepers in the PL last season. https://www.premierleague.com/news/4025806 Was also the Championship goalkeeper of the year in 2022/23. |  | |  |
Muric.... on 08:58 - Oct 27 with 1596 views | BrentwoodBlagger2 | He is a dilemma - makes brilliant saves that you would not expect him to make, but fails to make saves that he should easily make. Whenever a ball is goal bound I have no idea of the outcome!! |  | |  |

All that tells us is what we know - he's a good shot stopper. It's the other side of his game that we keep seeing that's the problem. He's clearly rattled/lacking confidence and making daft errors which are making it almost impossible for us to pick up points. |  |

Since Man City, 14 goals conceded and he's been culpable for 1.5 of them - the 4th yesterday and the Johnson back pass one vs West Ham. He's really not our biggest problem at all. As Dubbers put in another thread, 10 goals conceded in our first 6 games and then 10 goals conceded in the last 3 games since we've had injuries at the back. |  | |  |

It’s his inconsistency that’s the problem - yes the enforced changes in our back line haven’t helped, but it’s then up to the keeper to be vocal, dominant, and organise them. He’s not been that presence we’ve needed in the circumstances. |  |

He's certainly not the biggest problem, but he's obviously making everyone jittery at the back which won't be helping. His shot stopping is top class and an upgrade on any keeper we've had for a long time. |  |

Muric.... on 12:22 - Oct 27 with 1209 views | Trequartista | I don't think dropping Muric solves the problem. He had a poor game overall yesterday but made 2 excellent saves (possibly three if Clarke doesn't slide the ball into the net). Considering Brentford produced nothing for 40 minutes while our excellent forward play mostly kept them away from our goal, and they also missed 2 other clear cut chances later on, that means they could have had 8 goals in 50 minutes. Even allowing for having 10 men for a significant time, we need to concentrate more on not being opened up at the back so easily. [Post edited 27 Oct 2024 12:23]
