    Even then it is only one game then bam, straight in.

    I wouldn't play him, personally.

    No danger will BR play him in our biggest game of the season.
    I cant even see him featuring much before Christmas. The odd game here and there, maybe early cup games etc, but he isn't just going to replace CG overnight.

    He will. He's Rodgers man and plays the way Rodgers likes his keepers to play.

    Well I'm not a Craig Gordon fan by ANY stretch of the imagination.
    So the sooner a reliable, solid Kepper, who knows how to shot-stop at his near post comes in, the better.

    Still, De Vries wont play Tuesday. I'd be surprised if he makes his debut on Saturday. Doesnt he have an ankle knock?

    I reckon' he should have saved that pen.

    Don't think I've ever seen him save one.

    He has never saved one in 90 mins in his whole career.

    No command of his area and his shot stopping is poor. Got to go.

    Not during the 90 anyway.
    In shoot-outs, but cant think of a single time during open-play that he has saved one. * poor at penalties.

    Seemed to be a bit of needle between him and Oconnell today.

    If that's true, then that is absolutely shocking.

    He's a big *!!! :31:

    Flaps at corners, * feet/distribution, never saved a single penalty during open-play in his entire career and cannot command his box or communicate efficiently with his defence.

    Aye very good.

    I know:56:

    For a guy with a 6ft 4 frame I think he should be getting to that. It wasn't in the corner and if he dives he gets it. Simple as that.

    Saved one in the shootout in the semi final. He is generally poor at them though.

    Looking at the replays I was almost laughing at how bad he was with the penalty. Should have saved it.

    His attempt to save that penalty was embarrassing.

    His time is up, mistakes are getting more frequent, he goes down in instalments, not good enough.
