Our Goalkeepers

[Joey66]

id actually keep Stekelenburg and sell Robles in January. Bring Hewelt up as 3rd choice.

Have you been drinking?

Him and Dave Lawson . Classic goalies of the time

Dave Lawson cost us a fortune too awful keeper!

'Joel Robles has a fat arse' is still one of the funniest things I've seen on GOT.

I reckon I’m older than you both, I remember Albert Dunlop, ‘fly paper’ Dai Davies was like Lev Yashin in comparison.

When Albert replaced the injured Westie for the final few games one season, he didn't even have the energy to jog round on the lap of honour after the last game. Allegedly Dunlop used to 'escape' from Sefton General(Psychiatric Dept) on summer weekends to play cricket....he wasn't a bad wicketkeeper. Albert is up there as evidence that all goalkeepers are crazy...but Harry Leyland topped the lot. One particular game,against Leicester City I think, there was a massive scramble in the Everton goalmouth after a corner,bodies and boots flying everywhere,and calm as you like Harry was looking around for his cap, which had fallen off his head.
Leicester scored,then Harry found his cap.

As you know, we have three first team goalkeepers. We really only need two, and should be looking to sell one to contribute towards striker money in January. Which one would you get shut of? For me, Stekelenburg.

..a transfer fee for either might buy the shoelaces for a new striker. Robles’ contract is nearly up and whether one of the back up keepers comes or goes is of little consequence. Strange thread really.

Dai Davies was a boss keeper...

[sportset]

Out of interest, who are the goalkeeping coaches?

 

[goodisonopheliac]

Isn't it Alan Kelly? Used to play for Sheffield United. Patrick Lodewijks went when Koeman did.

Happy days Steve

Indeed. Re Leicester City, I know that the distance of time lends enchantment, but I seem to recall that they were our 'bogie' team in those days,particularly at GP....It seems that we would forever be battering them for 89 minutes, only to lose to a last minute breakaway goal.

The sell on value of either Robles or Stekelenburg is almost nothing and the fact Pickford never gets injured ( I now realise I've just jinxed him) it's irrelevant who else we have.

They were our bogey team and our beloved neighbors bogey team. Funny how a goalkeeper like Gordon. Banks can make you a bogey team to the better teams.
