Sweet summer child I envy you if up until this season Ricardo was the worst keeper you've ever seen play for us lol

Ricardo was hopeless for us, not sure he was quiet Pressman or Rab Douglas levels of bad, but he had an absolute stinker whilst here.

For me the top 5, or bottom 5 as it may be have got to be

1. Kalac

2. Pressman

3. Douglas

4. Ward

5. Ricardo 

 

The thing I can’t get my head around with Ward is his positioning, how has he got this far in the game with such woeful positioning - at least Kalac got into the right position to catch a ball before dropping it into his own net.

The others on the list were all over the hill and past it and unfit when they arrived - Ward is actually in his prime and doesn’t appear to understand where to stand or how to get into position.

Some of the blame for poor positioning must be laid at the door of Stowell, after all he is the goalkeeping coach.

 

If we ordinary folk can see it why can't someone on the coaching staff see it.

 

Or is it a question of Ward not being capable of breaking this weakness, therefore, if that is the case he needs to be off-loaded.

I agree, it will be interesting to see if he gets a move and plays somewhere else if this is an area he improves on. 
It’s just so obvious to anyone watching the game and so often.

No way…

Relative to the level played and considering Ward's transfer fee and wage, he's without a doubt the worst we've ever had.

 

Rodgers giving him 26 games cost the club over £100m.

Only difference is Pressman and Douglas, though poor for us, both had decent careers and were both 30+ when they signed for us (wasn't Pressman about 36!?). It's no comparison to Ward who should be in his prime at 28/29 years of age.

 

A name you've left off who would make my list is Conrad Logan, I thought he was hopeless.

Not everyone can be coached into a better player. Some players are just rubbish and Ward is one of them.

No, but a player can be coached in the basics and for a goalkeeper positioning is just as important as saving a shot.

The signed Ward shirt is now half price!! Just £225. Get yourself an absolute bargain. I’m amazed these haven’t sold out already so be quick. My advice is buy two - one for yourself and one to put on eBay for £750 in a day or so when these are all gone. No thanks necessary for the tip off 👍🏻

It’s a scam, you end up owning actual Danny Ward.
