Row Z Royal Marcus is our number one because we don't have another viable option.
Discuss.
Winchester Royal What about James Henry?

Blue and White Toucan I realise that in many of the game threads there is always a comment on Marcus and his performances.
I, as a goalkeeper (In the past) , do feel that on some occasions he does get a rough deal.
Last night there were a few people around me saying that, amongst other comments, he should have saved all 3 and what was he doing sitting on the floor for the last one!!!
I saw a goalkeeper exposed on too many occasions by defenders and midfielders letting players go, albeit against quality opposition. The 3rd goal was pure skill and not many keepers would have done better
Hanhnemanns distribution is poor I have to say but then our corners are not too hot at the moment and there are a few who seem to miss that.
In the premier league there are some top class keepers but there are also quite a few keepers who to be honest are average IMHO.
The keepers used in the last matches for Premiership teams Cuddicini, Van De Sar, Reina, Carson, Taylor, James, Jaskelainen, Green, Given, Alumia, Kirkland, Gordon, Niemi, Bywater, Howard, Schwarzer, Freidel, Isaakson, Robinson and Marcus.
Being a keeper you are exposed to glaring mistakes that outfield players can get away with relatively easily.
If I had to rate Marcus I would put it as (out of 10)
Handling 7
Distribution 5
Decision making 6
Shot Stopping 6
Reactions 7
Presence 8
I obviously don't think he is the best but he ain't the worst in the league and there are I think that its about time the moaners started backing the team and stopped looking at Marcus as the scape goat.
Good luck to him for the rest of the season
Rant over.

From Despair To Where? Niemi is indeed a very good keeper, but at 35, I'd like to think we'd go for someone a bit younger. I still think Myhill at Hull is a good option, although I'ver not really kept tabs on him in the last 12 months so don't know how he's progressing.

When Marcus dives for the ball have a look at how often he is at full stretch - not often I can tell you.
