Are We Expecting Too Much From Rushworth? (18 Viewers)

[sixfoursix]

It looks like he is currently number 1 boo boy, but let's look at our record this season.
Played - 10
Conceded 1 goal or less - 6
Maybe if our misfiring forwards had played better we would have won more of them.

The goals against damage was done in the other 4 games
3 against the world no.1 ranked club (away)
5 against the world no.13 ranked club with 10 men for the last 3 goals, and a team that had given up on that game.
Last night should have been 2 if VAR had done it's job.
And Spurs.

Maybe we should put more responsibility on our forwards?

No, he should be saving some of these goals.

It’s not his fault but the fee we paid means he’s expected to be at a level which he isn’t at.

Villa paid a similar fee for Suzuki - he’d have saved all 3

I'm expecting a £25m keeper to play like a £25m keeper.

If he's actually a £10m keeper that we've overpaid for then it could be a huge error that costs us our spot in the division and was made due to emotion rather than logic.

He has a lot of credit in the bank but he's burning through it very quickly.

Constantly singing Englands Number 1 may give you the answer you are looking for to this question.

Rushworth hasn't dropped a simple cross over his line though .

He is also paid over £100k a week. Villa gazumped even PSG wages. Do you think we were going to do that?

That’s not what I said. I said you pay a huge fee you expect a Waitrose experience not an Aldi one

No i dont think we are , but hes a good keeper and fans should stick with him and try and avoid destroying him as it really wont help

No, you inferred that we should have signed Suzuki instead for the same amount of money. As I said Rushworth hasn't dropped a simple cross in to his own net.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

No, this is apologist behaviour.

We should get behind him and support him. Frankly, we have no choice anyway. However he is struggling and seems mentally scared (like MvE). He's costing us goals and games. There's no shying away from that or pointing elsewhere.

 

[Cally Fedora]

Possibly expecting a bit much. He does have to adjust. And it’s an age old fact that mistakes from a keeper are magnified compared to outfield players.

 

[Grendel]

The fee is the same - for that fee he should be saving those goals last night. It was an embarrassing performance.

Rushworth has 2 clangers v Spurs and 2 (possibly 3) v Everton that cost us 4 goals and 4-6 points. Quick, lets blame the forwards!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I agree with Grendel Martinez went for less than Rushworth too, and Donnarumma the same price.

Why didn’t we go for either those?

Is that a serious comment? . I can't believe it is, but if it is, do you seriously think we are going to pay over £100k in wages. In fact I think the 2 you mention are on over £200k a week.

Do you think he’s looking like he’s worth £30
Million?

 

[shmmeee]

No. Statistically he’s by far the worst keeper in the league and he should be playing better. Need someone who can get in his head same as MvE.

 

[RJASkyblue]

He was nowhere near £30 million which you know, you are just being argumentative making up figures.
In fact, nowhere near the figure regularly quoted on here. A lot of his fee is based upon add-ons, including us stopping up this season and England Caps

Perhaps we need Dr Claire back . It is quite a serious point in that I don't think we have actually replaced here.

How much did he cost then?

he wasn’t bought for £30m

the fact you think we should have gone for suzuki instead is hilarious

 

[rob9872]

Forget what we paid or other teams paid, he didn't set the fee. It's also pointless comparing what was paid for other keepers as eg Suzuki wouldn't have come to Cov.

All we should be looking at, is whether he's performing like a PL keeper and the moment that's no, but we need to stick with him and get behind him. It's not changing soon and our other options arent good enough. We know he has ability and we know some of those scored this season he would've saved last season. I assume it might be a confidence issue or not yet feeling he belongs, hopefully it will come to him and soon.

i’m being satirical based on that moron Grendels comments

I didn’t say we could have. So how much did he cost then?

 

[RJASkyblue]

The "base" fee was £15 million.

Was it? Where’s the evidence?

You said “Suzuki who went for a similar fee would have saved it”

Is that not comparing the two. You totally ignored the wages Suzuki is on.

You have been a bit manic recently

Thought so, just checking .

Not really. Can you answer or settling down for the game against Wrexham?

Yes you did which is why me and another poster have called you out on it.
