Joel Robles

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Regardless of the free kick, Robles is a very mediocre goalkeeper and hopefully will be plying his trade elsewhere by next season.

Bit harsh mate. The problem we've got is that there isn't much between Robles and Stek so it doesn't really matter who of the 2 is in goal, so we need a proper number 1.

Yes we need a keeper, but the signing of Stek was a grave error as he is worse than Robles that's three time RK has signed him !
A Fulham reject laughable!

Is he knackers worse than Robles.

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

utter rubbish did you see the sky analysis by one of the best free kick takers Thierry Henry he stated Robles did well to get near it if he had saved that it would have been save of the season!
just blame a keeper never heard you slate the Stek when he went walk about to give Unt a point at home that was awful keeping!

Not seen the analysis as I was at the game, and imo his positioning was gash and he should have saved it.

 

[Prevenger17]

It was a good free kick

 

[Goat]

It was a superb FK.

Your wrong then I appreciate you were there even I was disappointed with him only getting a hand to it till the sky analysis he had no chance if you view it from behind Snodgrasses boot it was a great bender of a free kick Robles nearly hit the post with his body it bent back in 2-3 feet with pace save of the season if he had saved an impossible free kick whipped in with bend and venom quote Theriey Henry a Grea free kick master!
As a team you try not to give free kicks like that away the ref did not help us as we should have had to clear pens too!

After he had a run I will give my thoughts on him never stated he was ideal , but the best we have ATM!
Watch the Stek return v Southampton with his dead leg and dodgy knees!
Robles needed a run last year when Timmy was crap yet undropable the we would have known for Deffo we needed a top keeper the problems in the outfield players is even more worriying imo
Meaning we seem to need to spend big money there may be a starlet keeper in the lower leagues, like another big Nev ?
RK team selections seem to be mind boggling too ATM!

He's had plenty of chances and I've been there for all his home appearances and most of his away ones (and friendlies),and not once have I walked away thinking there was any possibility of him becoming a quality goalie capable of performing in a World Cup final (as Stekelenburg has by the way). By now you should see something but I see no potential whatsoever . He is not top six PL quality and never will be. Shame as he seems a decent lad.

Chances but never a run in the team when Timmy was making error after error!
In and out is not a run imo!
The Stek started off well the at the age of 34 yrs old you can see why he flopped st Southampton, and laudably Fulham - their fans forgot he was still on their books!

Someone triple-captained Snodgrass in fantasy football this week. That's the level of impossible foresight Robles would have needed

The warning was there when he rattled the bar, and upper post that again was unstoppable!

lollollol

 

[Joey66]

Is he knackers worse than Robles.

When he went walkabout v UNT maybelol
The way he stood static when Chelsea put five past him
How many clean sheets has he kept this season?
Even playing for Holland - he let Pogba score from 35 yards right through himlol

It's the nature of the job , when you get the chance you have to show something special or the opportunity will pass you by. Stekelenburg is far from perfect but he has been good enough to play at the highest level, his performance at Man. C. this season was sublime and showed what he is still capable of. Robles would never have come close to that performance and we'd have been a point worse off. At the end of the day neither is perfect , but I'd prefer the experience of World Cup final playing Dutchman despite his foibles, to Robles.

One who has crocked knees the shrek do you know how many clean sheets or us as he kept answer please?

 

[Woolly Blue]

He should have kept that free kick out.

He's bang average, and therefore not good enough

I disagree with the first bit, but totally agree with the second.
