Friedel Compilation

[Chipsticks]

Nice compilation of Friedel's saves last season if anyone fancies it.

Makes me a wee bit worried about the defence mind.

[Rimmy Jimmer]

Fantastic. Best keeper we've had for years. I voted for him for player of the year. He and Bent kept us up no one else.

What is concerning, is the amount he had to make, and also, he is going to be difficult to replace

[Shrek]

Why isn't there a compilation of the amount of set pieces we conceded from because he never left his line.

He was a good solid keeper for us, but I totally agree with the decision not to offer him more than 12 months.

A lot of keepers look like world beaters on show reels. Brad did well at times last season, but was also very fragile at others, and many wanted a younger man brought in around Jan. Good signing for the money and service though realistically, but time to move on.

That one against Bolton from the free kick that went down to his left was top drawer!

I agree.   Equally concerning was the God awful music accompanying the video - which to compound matters was only coming out of one speaker.

Did he ever save a Penalty for us?

[N'ZMAV]

The one from the Arsenal header was the best one IMO.

[darren woolley]

Some cracking saves in there hope we can replace him soon.

Did he ever save a Penalty for us?

I can't remember one. He's a very effective shot-stopper and it was great to see all the saves and blocks in this video, but he doesn't command his area and, as Shrek says, is vulnerable at set pieces. I'm pleased we signed him, but he's now past his best and I think this is the right time for him to go.

Ok, simple explanation why I thought he was a liability last year.

watch it again and pay attention to where the ball goes after his saves.

Very much agree....it seems to be a thing with our keepers, Guzan is just as bad.

Will miss big Brad though, he's a was a good servant.

[Hookeysmith]

As an ex keeper myself i agree there are some excellent shot stopping saves and his positional sense was as good as you would expect from his experience.

But

as Paul e mentioned a lot of his heroic saves actually put the defense under even more pressure due to palming / pushing shots back into the danger zone rather than away from goal - might seem pedantic but these are basics learnt very early by keepers. Also his command of the 6 yard box for high balls was as poor as i have ever seen for a such a big guy
