Spot on. If a player shoots at the goalie, it’s excellent positioning by the latter. Banks was the master of this. I feared the worst before Sunday but grit, determination, no little skill and superb goalkeeping proved me wrong! Maybe I’m hard to impress but standing in the right place is sort of a minimum requirement for a goalie isn’t it? Apart from the fact that a goal would never be scored if that was ALWAYS true….

I gave him credit this game 😂😂he’s been woeful for most of the season. No one arguing about that, it’s the fact he was brilliant in this game that’s the talking point….. And I don’t think he was. I thought he was good. I gave him the second highest marking I gave in the player ratings thread. 😂Yet you lot want more. The saves were standard stuff bar the one on one which was excellent. I think everyone is going massive ott over some average goalkeeping and saves that should be made. Much like the Barnsley goalkeeper against us.

Some players are instinctive and they naturally seem to know where to be, Stein was a master of predicting when and where to run/go. Not sure movement as a striker is quite the same as positioning as a goalie. Anyway his positioning was good this game but it seems like a stretch to use it to turn routine saves into world class ones

People wanking off some bog standard saves is very strange. And as ever I’ve shown I know a lot more than most on here as you were happy with the inevitable 🤦♂️ Yeah, everyone, stop over emphasising the rare moments of joy in the otherwise interminable sea of dejection that is supporting Stoke. You big shits. They were easy saves. What’s joyful about that?

Made more saves than any other goalie this season and several were exceptional - the early header, the Austin power driver, the one on one to highlight only 3….

The header he should have grabbed with how slow it was. What was the Austin one? The one on one was excellent agreed.

For example, Tim Coleman’s 7 against Lincoln …. “Yeah, but they were easy goals. My gran would’ve scored them”.

What’s joyful is that he saved the easy saves!! Unlike your mate against Cardiff! We’ve had a great result and kept a clean sheet. Now instead of celebrating that, you’re picking at an overall excellent goalkeeping performance because some of the saves he made were standard saves? Seriously!? Give it a rest!

I mean he’s made more cock ups than Bursik this season 😂 I’ve celebrated it. It was an excellent watch. Days after the game is exactly the time to nit pick.

If you nit picked as often into the player you seem to be obsessed by, you’ll find that you’re talking nonsense as usual. I can’t imagine your reaction if he’d played on Sunday and made those “standard saves”.

What are you going on about?

Hard man to impress, Bayern. Is there anyone who has ever played for Stoke (I’m thinking the last 70 years) that he vaguely likes? Verlinden. Who is currently tearing it up with zero goals and zero assists from six games this season in the Slovakian Super League.

Yeah, everyone, stop over emphasising the rare moments of joy in the otherwise interminable sea of dejection that is supporting Stoke. You big shits. They were easy saves. What’s joyful about that? Sometimes the best keepers make saves look easy by their positioning and moving their feet before diving or catching. I haven't analysed the saves on Saturday but I remember people saying Banks made saving shots look easy. A lot of goalkeepers dive from standing rather than moving their feet first. That means their saves are more spectacular but in lots of ways they are more desperate. Davies was full of confidence and calmness on Saturday, giving his defence belief and making the forwards think they had to aim for the corners to beat him. This was a team who have scored in every previous match so not out of form.
