How do people continue to defend him?! Continually prone to blunders, so vulnerable on kicking. Got away with a shin trap in first half and found out in the second. If he's going to play him Ramsey needs a policy of no back passes. I won't argue he has made some great saves but he has made so many costly clangers it's unbelievable!
He must never start again. A modern keeper needs to be good on the ground. Green is absolutely shocking!
Cost us 3 points today,after the initial mistake he should have let O'Grady score.With 11 against 11 we could've still won the match,yet alone lose it!
Green gets a lot of undeserved flak in my opinion, but his decision making for that incident was diabolical and inexcusable
That is untrue. He commits considerably more. Having said that, the new lad looked pants aswell. God be with the days when a player would grasp his opportunity with both hands and play really well coming into a team. What has happened in recent years that players who come in are as sh*t as the one's they replace? Since when do Goalkeepers "need time" before they start catching and kicking the ball properly? It wasn't long ago that all they needed was their chance and they fukking took it!
Green is a good, accident prone keeper. forgiven or not. Now McCarthy has gone, he should be first choice unless we see more of these shenanigans.
We let our best keeper leave for £3.5m, from my seat Smithies should have saved the 2nd one & his distribution was very Green like
He doesn't commit considerably more. If he did he wouldn't have been a Premier League goalkeeper for several years with England caps.
If he didn't he'd still be a PL keeper not in this Mickey Mouse league. England caps mean little these days. How many did Shaun Phillips get? (no disrespect to England)
He did state:- Alex Smithies believes he can learn from Rob Green as well as compete with him for the goalkeeper’s position at QPR. “He’s a very highly regarded goalkeeper and hopefully I can pick up some things and push him all the way,” Smithies said. “I’ve got a lot of respect for him because of what he’s done in the game. There’s a lot of stuff he does that I can learn. “Just being around him, watching him train and play in games, I’ll try and soak up as much of that as I can to try and improve myself. “There’s no better person to come and learn from than Rob.” http://www.westlondonsport.com/feat...ving-huddersfield-and-his-next-chapter-at-qpr
