Regularity of Muric Errors ... 11:44 - Feb 2 with 2256 viewsBellevue_Blue

I'm desperate for him to do well and I'd love for him to come good but I just cannot see it with the regularity of the errors ....

In the last 6 games he's started, 4 of them have seen him drop absolute clangers ..

Bournemouth - Flys out to the edge of the box to gift them a goal
Newcastle - Passes it straight to Isak to gift a goal
Bristol Rovers - Passes it straight to their player who should have scored
S'oton - First goal is a shocker of an attempt, second is a really poor save

It's completely unsustainable for any team. Yes we don't score enough goals but the regularity of the errors gives us no chance at all.

Walton is our best keeper. Mustn't be judged on the Man City and Liverpool games in my opinion. Walton in goal and sell Muric in the summer.

The problem is he's become such a bogey man thanks to people calling him out that it completely masks any mistakes our midfielders or defenders make.

Plus our attackers should be doing better, we give away possession far too easily and invite pressure.

It's a save he should make and he can't push it back into the centre of the goal.

Won't get away with it with the level of forwards in this league.

That doesn't account for his mistakes though.

The whole team is at fault, but the errors I've mentioned are almost entirely his fault.

At some point we have to expect an £8M keeper to make saves and not commit horrendous errors leading to goals.

The reality is it looks like neither is good enough. Walton is average at best. Muric makes too many mistakes. Might be a bit late now though to do much about it.

Or for the balance to be in favour of the saves over the serious errors. All keepers make mistakes. Muric was dropped in favour of Trafford at Burnley for his mistakes. I am sure we must have felt it is something that could be coached out of him but there is no evidence that is happening.

Right now, Walton is not an option. Is Slicker any better? We have to trust those who see enough of him to know but Slicker hasn't been signed to remain as 3rd choice forever and we haven't loaned him out. I think it is probably time to give Slicker a go which will be very damaging to Muric's confidence but, as already stated, we can't afford to continue as we are.

Muric was never our primary target I believe. And his weaknesses were known about before we signed him. It’s bad recruitment . The club can’t get it 100% right all the time, but at that late hour in the August window, we had to get someone in.


I actually feel the majority of our signings since being promoted were actually planned for our expected 2-3 seasons in the Championship, not the Plastic League. Getting promoted ( clearly too soon) has thrown a spanner in the works a bit. But the club are recruiting primarily for t( Championship with the view to develop young players over the next 2-3 seasons.

Walton isn't Prem quality. Muric certainly isn't. Just because Walton is better than Muric, doesn't translate that he should be our #1 for the rest of the season.

We should have just shared out amongst Burnley fans the fee we paid to that GK analytics recruitment company, would have been wiser & better for everyone else concerned!

On a side note, it seems CW's groin strain was known about before Liverpool, a game we were never going to get anything from anyway. Not resting him for that game looks like a terrible mistake, as it seems playing in it exacerbated the injury.

Suspect that is one we will push quite hard for this summer.

The 2nd one is the fault of the team.
Southampton only have 3 players in that attack we have 5 (nearly 6) back. Their RB cuts inside with Axel and Sam between him and the goal. O'Shea also moving towards him (if I remember correctly) but we still give him the space and time to pick where he wants to place the ball. Muric goes down to his right hand and stops a goal being scored, but the forward gets to the rebound before Greaves.
The bloke behind me was going mad saying Muric should be holding it, but from where I was I couldn't see how he could hold it, the defence had basically stood off the RB and said, please take your time and shoot when you're ready.

First goal, Muric should save that

If we have so many back, why does Muric move so far over towards the middle so that he is then stretching so far to make the save on his near post? I am not a goalkeeping expert so perhaps there is good reason but to me it looks like he made what should have been a regulation near-post stop into a save on the stretch.

Totally agree, he more than gets his arm to it as well ... look at his positioning for the first goal as well. Essentially only defending a third of the goal.

But if he moves from the middle to the right the defence was giving the RB so much space he had the space and time to place it to Muric's left. Then fans would be moaning why did he move to the right and give all that space to his left.

Look I'm no Muric fan and the first is 100% his fault, but for that 2nd goal we outnumbered the S'ton players 5, even 6 to 3, no way should that RB have been given the space to get in a shot from there.

He had a shocker against Brighton as well really which makes you question if it's an issue beyond just simply the keepers

With Muric in goal we might as well start the match 1 or 2 nil down

Not only has he zero footballing IQ and makes Bryan Gunn looks world class, he has zero command of the box and zero communication with the defence.

Whoever plays in front of him are scared sh*t because they can't read his mind, including his relegation buddy O'Shea. Yesterday Morsy was pointing and shouting at him multiple times what to do with the ball. Greaves and Axel decided to take riskier options instead of passing the ball back to Muric because they were scared that he would c0ck up.

First GK I've ever seen that doesn't talk at all to his defenders. For all the Muric lovers that said he'd have saved on of Liverpool's or City's goals - he may have stopped some of the shots but he'd also probably punch the ball straight to Haaland or Salah and be caught napping in no man's land on multiple occasions.

Probably because of the quality of the opposition that Walton was playing against, and he has credit in the bank which Muric really hasn’t seemed to be able to build up.
