He played well but they were all at him and should have been saved. It was bad finishing. The one on one save was absolutely excellent though. The rest were easy and bad finishing. But still got to save them. Which has been an issue. You missed the 1st half header into the bottom of the corner which davies dived down to save then? That was a better save than it looked. Bursik would have watched it go in whilst waving his arms about at the defenders.

So apparently Sky gave MOTM to Vrancic But Vrancic, an honest, class, professional admitted that Davies deserved it more and gave it to him!

He was brilliant today. 3 or 4 top saves
And saving a penalty too? Stoke just don't save penalties.
He earned us the 3 points today and deserves MoM
Lets just all ignore Bayern and his agendas

I just hope today gets his confidence up. I feel losing his place to Bursik at the start of the season despite doing little wrong knocked his confidence and when he came in he looked unsure and shakey. Now Bursik is injured, he knows his place is assured and it seems like that confidence is back in his game. He's a good shot stopper and perfectly competent Championship keeper and I feel safer with him in goal than Bursik who's very raw and I feel he's more error prone. If he can stay confident and maintain his form I think he'll considerably strengthen our defence because I think poor goalkeeping has been a significant weakness for us this season.

Once the penalty was missed there was only one winner. The fans were confident, but more importantly so we’re the players! 👍

Really? Any penalty save is a good one and the 1v1 was superb, his best save of the game. The others were routine stops that you'd expect any keeper to save. I feel the op is judging him by his usual very average standards so anything resembling competent draws huge plaudits. He did well. Very well. 2 superb saves and 7 fairly routine ones. I watched the game on Sky and all the pundits were gushing in their praise for Davies, no agendas or pre-conceived thoughts and maybe that's where the bar should be set? Davies was magnificent today. Next week he may drop one over his line.

Great Game.. Great saves. Thanks AD. No point in dissecting his performance as it was top drawer.

Rather have Bursik, but you have to give him credit for an excellent performance.

Impressive but not a record Seen Peter Fox make that many saves, spectacular ones too, in one half Away at Bradford where we Stoke a win and away at West Bromwich Albion where we stole a point live in the memory I remember the West Brom game. It was the relegation season under Alan Ball. Ex Potters Ford and Hackett terrorised us on the flanks and Fox produced one of the most amazing displays of goalkeeping I’ve seen. We stole a point with a fluke header from Tony Ellis.

Another easy save I thought tbh. It reminded of the Barnsley keeper against us. People were wanking him off but they were just comfortable saves any keeper should be making. Like I said though, that has been an issue with both of the keepers this season. "Another easy save I thought tbh" 😂😂 Nurse...please take Mr bayern back to his room he's had to much excitement again. It was pretty slow and their player had to generate all the power. He played well but they were comfortable saves bar the one on one 👍

I agree that you would expect him to save most of them as he"s a good keeper. Certainly the best we have. The one coming off his line the best for me as read it so quickly. To say we were lucky is rubbish. We scored twice and they got lucky a third time.

He's not been in the best form recently, but what a performance yesterday.
You've got to be a real sad act haven't you, not to give him credit for that?
'All the saves were easy' 🤦♂️😂 Standard bayern. It wouldn't matter what Davies did now- his card's marked because bayern HAS to be right. Night is day and black is white in his world.

Finally a Stoke goalkeeper who can save a penalty! This could be really crucial if we make the playoffs.
Is he in the picture for Wales? Neither Ward nor Hennessey are getting regular game time.

He played well and made two superb saves, one of which was arguably match winning with the penalty. Some balance is about right. Had he let in some of the others that he'd saved, he'd have been at fault for a goal.

Had a Bristol City fan asking us who our keeper was after the game he was that impressed.

Ranked 12 out of the 32 Championship keepers for shot stopping who have faced at least 20 on target attempts in 2021/22.
(JB is 27th).
Has saved around 5% more attempts than you'd expect for an average keeper.
AD's pre save positioning has been generally good, which (surprise, surprise) makes the saves he has made appear "easy".
Excellent decision making for his two key saves on Sunday.
For the penalty, stayed central, legs spliting a line from the penalty spot to the goal line, then took a forward power step when it became apparent which side the pen was going. That greaty extended the potential length of his dive. Comfortable save (but 90% down to Davies' pre shot routine).
Impeccable save choice for the 1 on 1. Rapid engagement plus block rather than smoother, which gave him some protection against the player trying to go high.
Amongst the top 5% for individual keeping performances in the Championship this season.

It was very much a Stoke this season like performance with their finishing.

Bad finishing was the order of the day yesterday for QPR yesterday. Rubbish. Positioning is the key to any good goalkeeper and maybe they were straight at him because he was in the right place. You only have to look at Pickford's positioning for Salah's first goal the other night. His poor positioning made it easier for Salah. The header first half was a cracking save and wasn't straight at him. The 1 on 1 was a cracking save. The penalty was a good save. It was a poor penalty but if he had dived the other way it would have gone in. I find it bizarre to rate him lower because he didn't do things that didn't actually happen in the game.
