My bad i thought you were referring to Ward and clean sheets before the world cup. 

No I can agree he’s absolutely wank

Surely Alex Smithies cannot be worse than this guy.

I’m convinced watching this he’s more agile.

So in that sense it’s bad luck when he plays bad? God some fans…

Could say the same about any who genuinely think he’s quality. Deluded.

[Les-TA-Jon]

Suppose the risk is, you drop Ward for Iversen and Ward’s low confidence is shattered and you’re asking an untried keeper to play PL football week in, week out. Soon as he makes a clanger, you’ve both keepers under scrutiny and lots of pressure 

[Sly]

He doesn’t instill confidence. If the fans can all feel it, you bet that back 4 do as well.

Like i say he's a last resort CB.

 

 

Don't think Ward is up for that tbh... But perhaps the club can have him change his name, new shirt number and rebrand him as a solid CB for the next transfer window.

if we aren’t protesting about the manager or owner, can we protest to get iversen in net please! get the plane banner

How is that any different to what’s happening now though? You think playing Ward is instilling any confidence whatsoever as it it?

I'm not convinced on Iverson from what I seen against Gillingham, I can't see much about the two goals he could of done today. Not convinced by either over all though.

Really? I'm probably too spoiled by watching Kasper for nearly ten years, but pretty sure Kevin Pressman would have done better for the first one. Thank fooke their third was disallowed though, that was embarrassing.

 

 

 

[Uncle Monty]

Just to be clear though, I want him to succeed, it's just so painful to watch.

 

Very tres painful.

Was thinking the same. Though not as bad as the offside goal vs Liverpool.

I think I’ve seen enough of Iversen to judge. You might not have.

Premiership keepers these days are pretty much all top quality. Neither of these two look to be.

Presumably you didn’t watch any of the Iversen games when he was at Preston then? He was outstanding. I think Ward gets in the team ahead of him purely on his distribution. As a shot stopper, Iversen is better. For me that’s enough for him to get in this team despite his limitations when kicking. It works at Newcastle with Pope. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[MarriedaLeicesterGirl]

I am just remembering Tanner's Dec. 31 article in The Athletic basically saying the back line don't trust Ward.

 

If that's the case, Iversen needs to start. (And I was more than fine with Ward getting the #1 shirt at the beginning of the season.)

 

[Lcfc82]

Faes doesn’t score the 1st own goal against Liverpool if he trusts Ward.

 

 

[tetly]

To be honest I can’t think of anything he is good at. 
 

1 positioning = awful 

2 distribution = average 

3 shot stopping = awful 

 

it’s clearly obvious he is rubbish today’s goals.

The first one slow getting up and the shot that went in was just above his head. 

The second one why did he go down there was a cross going across the six yard box he dives out the way.

 

The guy is clearly the worst keeper in the league and if we stay up it won’t be because he has saved us.

 

 

[Clarkey123]

Fair play to Rodgers for backing him as much as he has. If this dosen’t work out then there really is no hope.

I am sorry but Iverson is about as much the Answer to Ward as Ward was to Kasper.

 

There's absolutely no way, like Ward, that Iverson is Prem quality.

Just to clarify, I’m totally FOR dropping Ward, I’m just trying to theorise why Rodgers might be reluctant

Watching this I can't believe he's behind ward and Iverson in the pecking order.

One if my sons who is a Cardiff City fan swears that Smithies is a class keeper and would be the best with us. 

[Raj]

Ward shouldn't be ANY Premier League clubs number 1 kg.

He instills as much confidence  as I would up front.

Iversen isnt the answer either.

Really bad backroom work left us with Ward when Kasper left, so we have to suck it up
