Source?? Also Igor Cerny was excellent in the games he played and has been on the bench every game since. Cant see Murphy getting in.
I know that mate. Cerny is a good shoot stopper and played 2-3 very good matches before christmas. One goal against ManU? he let in quite easily. I just asking how good is Murphy? Does anybody even seen him play?
No real surprise if it happens... Contrast the way paddy went to ground early allowing their lad to round him easily to score to the way schwarzer made himself a huge barrier to deny SWP in identical circumstances.
Kenny should not have come back in after his injury.Cerny was playing really well but he wasnt one of NW ,s chosen few.
I doubt if there is any truth here as I expect MH to focus on getting the team to flow and to continue the improvement we have made keeping the ball. We are in fact growing IMO regardless of the results ... I see we no choice to look at the 36 points available and start believing that we can win as many as we can regardless of the opposition. I believe this will come and the effort shown Saturday was good. These players and this team does not want to be relegated It's a case of getting he team to naturally flow and gain confidence We may lose again this season but by god when we click in we will be able to beat anyone in this league . The soul of a never say die attitude is on show every week at Man Utd... They are the best because inside SAF instills that belief so that players never know when they are beaten... To me it's that simple . Team Confidence is everything and I genuinely think we are trying too hard at times I can sense he desire of the players at last and we are getting sharper and I think also that a result is coming that will back up my beliefs . We need to chill a bit and keep our heads and the rest will come With Kenny I up encouraged that he is now rolling the ball out rather kicking it long the NW way maybe The fact is we are playing football again and we are closer to be playing as a team that I can see... Too many are looking at the result ... We are doing things the right way For a club that has had three teams and two managers in six months in the biggest profile league in the world we are ok ... I would be more worried if I supported Wigan Blackburn Bolton or Wolves and I would also include Swansea and Villa in that We are coming and it all about coming good at the right time
Spot on. That russian bloke just shake little bit water from his ear and Kenny was down and flat like a fish on the shore.
Cerny should have kept his place IMO. I just saw that Fulham goal again, and realise that one of our players, think it was Anton, would have cleared the shot off the line if he hadn't stopped up to appeal for offside. A school boy error!
I always feel that players should get on with it and appeal after, as you said, Ferdinand's hesitation reduced his chances of clearing the line
I wouldnt drop Paddy for Cerney. I still think hes our best keeper. Okay Cerny played out of his skin at Anfield but i remember many howlers from 2 seasons ago and i dont think we need to add to further indecision by changing keepers
It looked really stupid. I used to help train 12 year olds and struggled to get them to stop doing that. But Anton should know that by now!!
About ****ing time, we have had more success with a traffic cone in goal! id rather have a keep who plays really well 9 out of 10 games and then lets in a howler than a keeper that cannot stop anything.
Paddy has looked very average this season and there is no doubt that while he has made very few mistakes he should have done better with several goals. He has always been recognised as a good shot-stopper but vunerable in the air. His obvious lack of real height has resulted in him flapping at more than one cross this season. The problem is that his one big strength (shot-stopping) has been his obvious weakness this year. He has been rooted to the spot on several occasions and IMHO does not look like a Prem class keeper. I have to be honest and say that i feel that cerny is also not much better. A couple of good performances this year does not make him world class. Just remembering some of his performances from last year makes me cringe. Several years ago Murphy had good potential. His problem is that he has never established himself at any level. He has always played second fiddle to a more established keeper. I think that with a run of games he MIGHT develop into a good keeper but feel that it is way to risky to take that change on him now with so much at stake. Despite all that i have said, if its a straight pick between Paddy and Cerny, i still pick Paddy, although only just.
The Ipswich fans never wanted Murphy to start their Championship games so I never figured out how he was above Cerny anyway. Radek didn't do anything to deserve losing the gloves in the first place.
