Well it's funny, cos when I challenged posters for them earlier in the year, they weren't forthcoming
(I had spotted the one Team of the Week nomination alright)
But yeah, I'm judging him on the now and I've always acknowledged that he can only get better. (Of course, he could get a bad injury too and fail to reach his potential as he's still at a key developmental age, but let's not talk about that!) I don't think I disagree as much as ye either. I don't think I have quite the same confidence in him as others do at the moment.
(It was elatedscum who said "he's been faultless for Ireland" btw)
On Buffon in the LSL - I'm glad to see someone sees sense on the matter!
"Keepers at lower levels, on average, face a lower calibre of striker and with that comes a lower frequency of shots that come with the accuracy, pace and power you'd find more regularly at higher levels........I mean that sounds intuitive." I mean, what more can you really say about it than that? The "on average" bit is key and answers ifk101's latest post on the matter for me.
I'm amazed it's even being argued, and the LSL/Buffon stuff is batty altogether.
Maybe we should bring the Malahide United keeper into consideration here? 7 goals against in 11 games is decent, and he's facing players who hit as hard and accurately as Ronaldo it seems. What can go wrong?
