The one glaring area of weakness is Ward for Kasper and will need sorting out asap. good post, very measured but how are guys gonna FUME with rationale like this?

An Sionnach Posted 21 February 2023 Share Posted 21 February 2023 8 minutes ago, Aus Fox said: Evans had just come to the end of his career, but now replaced with Faes. Harry Maguire sold for 80 million and replaced with Souttar - early days but looks solid. Wish them well but they have a long way to go before they are at Evans and Maguire's standard and with Wilf's decline our central defense is vulnerable, occasionally very vulnerable.

Yet despite seeming to undermine himself, is in it just for himself apparently. Can only assume he is playing some Machiavellian 4D chess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're judging his worth based on his loan and then saying he should be given a chance. Rodgers stubbornly sticking to his guns is hardly news. That said, since we're fully in a relegation scrap, I'm not sure how much of an opportunity we have to give him a match or two. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 21 February 2023 Share Posted 21 February 2023 It's not necessarily that he doesn't rate Iversen; it's that he rates Ward highly, it appears. Iversen is not the saviour but Ward has had his time. Let's hope we survive and prioritise a new goalkeeper because another year of this and we might not get away with it.

Dahnsouff Posted 21 February 2023 Share Posted 21 February 2023 I do get the calls for Iversen as there are plenty of potential positives, how well we would be served by further disruption in our weakest area is anyones guess though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead we plumped for the guy sat on his arse for years, we're at a point where we won't recoup what we paid for Ward, however even if we don't see Iversen as a long term choice if we bring him in and he proves to be at least competent at this level we could make a decent wedge on him.

No different to Ward then really, good example of him actually being a bit calmer then Ward was against Walsall. Bouncing ball that he clearly misjudged but he did the job and cleared it, we've seen Ward flap in situations like that.

SouthStandUpperTier Posted 21 February 2023 Share Posted 21 February 2023 Admittedly not seen Iversen play except for the 4 cup games he's played for us. But the stats suggest he's a better keeper than Ward. I suspect BR doesn't rate Iversen's distribution (which has looked clumsy whenever I've seen him).

I’ve been told by quite a few people now, that he doesn’t rate him “with the ball at his feet”. This surely also rules us out of Lafont, I was also told we’d taken a look at Zetner, who’s contract is up in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosbehFox Posted 21 February 2023 Share Posted 21 February 2023 It’s not just Rodgers who holds the opinion on Iversen at the club. I see a lot of people make valid points about Iversen but if he was as highly rated from last season as Preston fans reckon, why has no PL club considered bringing him as a progressive no 2 leading up to no1. Saints for example brought in Bazuma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiturk Posted 21 February 2023 Share Posted 21 February 2023 Ward here to play Iversen here to warm the bench. This is Brendan Rogers way. He absolutely destroyed a world class defender whom Atheletico Madrid and Inter Milan fighting for securing him at the moment. In the meantime, he brought a defender from EFL relegation battler and an another defender from Ligue 1 mid tier team, told us that they will be our saviours. The tragic part of this soap opera is there are many LCFC supporters out there really believing this bullsh*t. How about we just give him the keys of the club building? This MF already taken entire LCFC community for a hostage anyway . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the opinion of Iversen is so low at the club they should have sold him in the summer and actually signed a first choice keeper. Struggle to take anything anyone at the club thinks of the keeper situation seriously as they think Ward is the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
