Mads Hermansen

[Bourbon Fox]

He had a decent game last night, feet or not he's a quality keeper.

We’d have been dead and buried by half time with ward in goal.

The game would've been over after 20 mins, like last time v Spurs during Ward's previous, calamitous, relegation causing run.

 

I find it extremely worrying that Ward was on the bench ahead of Iversen last night. 

 

I've no personal truck against Ward, but if he ever steps foot on the pitch to represent us again, I'll leave the stadium. I can't and won't watch that agony again.

There was 1 goal in that game that Ward was clearly culpable for, the back post header, there's little you can do about Son pinging them in off the floodlights though.

[Mike1983]

Without a doubt our best signing last season. 

[danish_fox]

Without a doubt our best player this season, probably gone in winter...

[foxfanazer]

The only player putting in premier league standard performances so far

[Iwebema]

Enjoy him while we can, he's better than Raya, Onana, all 58 of chelseas goal keepers. Won't be long before they come knocking.

[Stuntman_Mike]

That save in the first half was incredible!

Yeah that one on one with Watkins right at the beginning was sensationel. 

 

Wanted to blame him a little for the their 2nd, but I think we just have to admit, that Duran's movement and header were just superb.

I thought to myself that a taller keeper at Hermansen's level would have caught that header, but he makes up for his height disadvantage in many other ways.

I suppose we all know who our big sale next summer is very likely to be

 

Hopefully by then Stolarczyk will be ready to step up or we have a good target identified to replace him

Some of the saves he's made this season have been top drawer however and kept games tight which is going to be very important for us.

Probably an unpopular opinion, maybe one people might even laugh at but in an age where keepers have to be good with their feet and must play out he still needs to be better with his feet if he's to be the player he wants to be or people think he is imo.

 

Some of the mistakes he makes with his feet, some of stupid passes out, he was nearly caught out yesterday, it's like he's unaware of players closing him down at times and then yes I get we're asking an anomaly of the modern goalkeeper to go long, but he needs to be more accurate with that - short and long.

I still think people rate him higher than where he currently is though.

 

He'll only get better from facing PL strikers. If we go down, I could see a side like Brentford or Brighton going for him. If we stay up, then I suspect one or two top sides will be seriously looking.

[Clever Fox]

For someone so young and on the way up he's exceptional. possibly our next 50 millon pound player.

Looking at Pickford and Ramsdale yesterday, He's easily better than them.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

He's really bloody good. If/when we go back down he'll be pretty much the first out the door.

[ts_1010]

I feel like he is being asked to keep it simple in this current team. Much more long ball, giving Vardy a heading opportunity which isn't his strength. 

 

I'd like to see him chipping 30 40 yards out to beat the initial press, or at least mix it up a bit to keep the opponents guessing. I feel like he has the skills to do this. 

[It'sblueupnorth]

He won’t be here next season, unless we stay up (we won’t)

[VLC86]

The worrying bit is if it’s apparent we are going down in Jan (hefty points deduction) I recon we sell in Jan as his price will drop in the championship.

[Dr The Singh]

£60m sold to chelsaw

least we know we can ask for least 35/40mil for him

Will it?

All depends on how desperate we are for money and how desperate Chelsea... sorry anyone is to get a new keeper.  Rutter went for £40mill.  Can probably still get decent money in the Champ.

Of course you do.

Too small to be a top class keeper. 90% of top class keepers get a hand to that Duran header. Decent enough header but still a looping header that shouldn't have beaten a Premier league keeper.

Not so sure as it was a diagonal all across the width of the goal, it was just (unfortunately) a fantastic header.

He's 6'2 which I would think is about average for a goalkeeper these days. Taller than Onana, Raya, Pickford, Sommer and Ederson, same height as Oblak, Ter Stegen, Lloris, Trapp and I'm sure countless others. I think he'll probably be fine.

 

Edited to add another very obvious one he's the same height as - Schmeichel.
