    Darlow looks average at best every time. Like most goalkeepers he can produce the odd save. But his handling is ****ing terrible, kicking poor and he doesn’t command his area. Dubs is a mid table GK at best but streets ahead of Darlow.

    Liverpool are needing a keeper now. On the Andy Carroll valuation scale we could let Darlow go for, say £100m?

    I'd sell Darlow immediately. His stock will never be this high again.

    Jesus wept. I mean Dubravka is the most overrated player by our fans. They go on like he's a world beater. He's just a decent keeper. However he does look like a world beater alongside Darlow.

    There is a couple who overrate Hayden too. I like Haydens attitude and I can accept he has had some effective games for us. I still maintain he looks a centre back. The ****ing over Dubs is bewildering. Like I say he's a decent keeper and easily good enough for us, but you'd think we had Walter Zenga or Peter Shilton in nets the way some go on about him.

    Darlow is a modern day Steve Harper, decent backup but that's about it

    Agree with this - he had a great game against Spurs and made a couple of good saves against Burnley but he doesnt look comfortable clearing his lines from pass backs and his distribution is nowhere near as good as Dubravka’s.

    He ain't as good as Harper; Harper could have easily been a regular Prem goal keeper, but he was content to just have an easy life and stay as back up to Given, there were much worse keeper in the league than Harper when he was sitting on the bench.

    Darlow is a solid championship keeper who can fill in as back up in the Prem when our keeper is injured. I'd put him on a similar level to Rob Elliott, and better than Krul (who was always massively overrated) but nowhere near Dubravka's level.
