michael fraser was awful today. granted he did not have much to do but he could easily have cost us the game. The mistake he made when he spilled the ball was horrific, the shot was a simple ball to collect that any goal keeper would be expected to hold(it wasnt even a hard shot) if it had been scored from the 2 resultant rebounds then we probably would have lost the game. His distrbution from kicks was worse than bad he kicked it straight out about 3-4 times. his positioning when a cross came in was horrible i remember it came over from the right and he was tottaly off balance and just looked lost. his handling on some of the saves he made was poor he dropped the ball once or twice and he looked uncomfortable in claiming the ball securely. Dont get me started on the dunndee utd game. but i must say what the fuck was he doing when he came out about 2-3 times trying to get a high ball (nowhere near anything) and clattered into our own players leaving bodies lying in his wake (funny if it just wasnt so fucking retarded) these are BASIC BASIC fundamentals an average goalie should have, infact lets see what i would pass him on.
kicking - shit
handling - looks uncomforatable
command of area - absolutely none
Confidence - rock botom
shot stopping - questionable (3rd dundee utd)
positioning - very poor
physical stature - average
the most worrying thing for me though was browns comments
"I think Michael was unfortunate against Celtic with a couple of corner kicks and then last week, many people saw what happened," added Brown.
"He held up his hand and he felt culpable last week against Dundee United.
"But he's a good lad, he's a good goalkeeper. It was great that he got a clean sheet today and that, of course, was a platform for us to get a victory.
i know brown never says anything bad and wants to keep every player in the camp happy but to not acknowledge how shit he was is poor in my opinion. Infact the way gannon identified how bad fraser was in europe and immediately resolved the problem by getting ruddy in was one of the main things that impressed me about gannon
fraser is a total bombscare in goals and it just destroys the confidence of the defence (luckily hearts dont have any decent strikers) get him tae fuck!!!
why dont we play ross hyslop in goals surely he cant be any worse than fraser
fraser fraser get to fuck
