Asmir Begovic

The defence had zero confidence in him not the other way around.

He had a save ratio of 56% that season and that’s forgetting the fact he ignored any cross that came into the box and failed to command his 6 yard box let alone his entire area.

That defence managed to conceed 60+ goals every year with a range of different keepers.

To complete the comparison Ramsdale had 67.5% last season.

Boruc in his last full season (16/17) was 64.4%

This is how far below his own stats he fell from 17/18 to 18/19. Games 38-24.

I don’t there’s any debating how bad he was towards the end of his time as first choice for us in the Prem.

Equally though I don’t think anyone can argue that he has been solid for us this season. The last 2 games in particular he’s made some excellent saves at important stages of the game that played a large part in us picking up points.

Long may it continue.

Jason has given him a chance, and so far he's been very good. Isn't that what matters?

 

[Waz afcb]

He’s proving his doubters (in which I was one) wrong at the moment. He’s making saves that he has no right to make, Watford, B City and QPR. Without his saves at crucial points we could have quite easily been looking at 0 points from these games.

If he keeps playing like this and we get promoted, his wages (whatever they are) will be totally worth it.

 

[Red_Dez]

Must have been the goalkeeper coaching he received at AC Milan, everyone knows Mossy is rubbish

 

[kirsikka]

Report from Bosnia that Arsenal may be interested in him.

Probably nothing in it but it would be a body blow after his form so far this season.

Doesn't he live somewhere near the Chelsea training ground.

Chelsea training ground is at Cobham, which is similar time to get to arsenal in North London, so I don't think that's a factor

This, Mr Trent is spot on.

Arsenal are skint

Just watched Richard Osman‘s House of Games and there was a question about Bego. Apparently he holds the world record for the longest goalkeeping kick, an impressive 92 metres in 2013.

 

[CherryBare]

Was that when he scored against boruc?

I’m not sure, but it would be ironic if that was the case.

 

[nd9cherry]

Now hes only allowed to kick 2.9m.......

The question was actually 'how far did AB kick the ball to score the longest goal in football?'

Looking like Bego could be fine and we’ve simply pulled Travers out of Swindon. Tweet from a Swindon journo and our former Solent guy Andrew Hawes...
