Yes sign players that got relegated and they struggle. Funny that. Agents hawk these players round but they're not necessarily better than what you already have.
100% agree with AJ. 👍Needless to say, everyone's entitled to their opinion. Nonetheless, never fails to amaze me how because it's easy to kick a ball everyone thinks they can be a football manager. It's exactly the same as whenever I tell someone I'm an author and they say "Oh, I could write a book". Go on then. Newsflash: Just because you can write words does not mean you can write a book. 🙂 Same with football. Thankfully, there is zero chance that McKenna listens to random people going mental on social media.
My requests for the ITFc Twitter account to print out my tweets and give them to McKenna at half time seem to have been ignored. Big mistake. The results speak for the consequences of that decision.....
There's not many things a keeper must do and Muric can't help nodding off. Why defend him and say everyone makes mistakes? I remember Walton being commanding and any mistakes would get easily ironed out by PLAYING HIM. Cant believe Christian takes it so well. Walton can distribute with his hands just as effectively. I think a football playing GK is a recipe for disaster unless you've got Ederson or someone. Get Christian Walton in the team. Or buy better goalkeepers.
There's no doubt that he's an excellent shot stopper. But it's comprehensively outweighed by the errors. Hladky made me nervous, this guy has me changing my y-fronts three times each game. Dreadful decision making, indecisive, and terrible with the ball at his feet. He'd have been a great keeper in the 70s and 80s before the ridiculous risk and riskier methods of playing out from the back. Money not well spent.
Great assessment AJ can't say any fairer than any of that. Unsettled defence with injuries. And made plenty of quality saves. 1 or 2 pieces where some feel he could have done better (same as any GK) McKenna isn't changing him any time soon. Apart from 3rd round of the FA Cup.
Should of kept hladky. If you dont think hes cost us points not sure what yout watching. I think protect him abit. Give walton a turn and get muric out of the spotlight and then slowly get his confidence back up again and get on the training pitch and go again.
On Saturday he threw the ball up the pitch in stoppage time when,in my view, he should have kicked it long and turned Brentford around. They won possession back, put it out wide which then led to the cross which he let in. He has made some good saves over the season but the massive clangers he has made really do mean the manager must make a decision on him this week.
Muric has not won us any points this year. He's cost us some for sure. You can see the defence dont trust him. When Wolfie came on and could have passed it to Muric he deliberately hit it out for a corner. You could see his cogs going "If I pass this to the keeper he will probably air kick and it will go straight in" so he wacked it out for a corner. We dont have time for sentiment I'm afraid. He simply isnt good enough.
Probably not wise to record a pod after early morning beer, Alex 😂😂 Mark’s point is well made, a goalkeeper mistake is probably a goal. For me, excellent shot stopper but he doesn’t communicate, command his box (6ft 5 plus 2ft with hands up) distribution is .. and as for those throws .. I don’t think he will be dropped but think he should be
Muric had a very very poor opening match at Man City, Walton had a good match against Liverpool under a lot of pressure, to come in at the deep end and deserves a chance.
I really don't want to see individual players picked out for extra criticism but we've got to get some points on the board and despite some amazing saves, we must get Walton in there.
His distribution is the problem for me, I can live with a few mistakes, especially when offset against some great save. But his poor distribution has changed our game, you can see the defence has no confidence in his distribution, and therefore are not hungry for the ball.
I think the problem is that we allow opposition far too many efforts on goal . He's not to blame for that.Having said that his communication with his defenders seems poor.
A good keeper will have control over his defence and therefore not need to be called upon to make too many saves in a match. He needs to instil confidence in his defence and I don’t see that. It’s very similar to when Serini came in after Richard Wright. Walton player very well against Liverpool and nobody would have questioned KM if he had stuck with him. Muric would then have to work hard to win his place.
Ian Walton was dropped and no one cared, because we had a new keeper with premier league experience. Well that didn't work out so good, so drop Music with the same casual move. I think Muroc was to blame for all 3 goals at Brentford. He didn't come out and close the attacker down enough, too slow, not committed. Jonah.
really the last goal in the last minute should never had happened, it's down to the keeper simple bad error, should he be dropped because of that alone , i think yes give walton a chance at home in the next game v a team, town has played very well against last season.. i know the team has a lot of players out at the moment. but there are some positives i think hirst and chappers both should start again.. Keep the Faith .. we can stay up !!! C.O.Y.B'S!!!
Davis should closed down the scorer to stop the cross in the first place. O'Shea should have done better, i dont blame Muric for the goal. the defence should have cut out the cross
This goalkeeper looks uncomfortable on the ball, easy to see that the back four doesn’t trust him. He has been totally at sea at so many crosses into the box, and it looks like that he is not talking/taking command, with the back line. No time for sentiment. I could never figure out why Walton was not allowed to continue after a brilliant performance vs Liverpool.
Bottom line as a goalkeeper he is the only one who can see all the play in front of him he's a big lad who needs to take command of his area.If in doubt clear it out.
Is Walton’s distribution any better ? I don’t think so in fact that’s one of the reasons why he didn’t get back into the team last season. Some of the comments I’ve seen about Muric are a bit harsh..he has made some great saves and I’m not convinced they’re saves Walton would makes. You drop Muric then Walton makes a mistake is everyone going to demand he’s dropped. As was said everyone has made mistakes in defence. I would also add some of the passes played back to him have been shocking and not helped him at all..but after all that I’d drop Muric 🤣
Okay just forget about his mistakes. Did you notice; How many times his long balls passes had not reach the intended target ? How many times has the ball goes through his legs when the oppositions scored ? How many times has he been going the opposite direction of the balls being scored by oppositions ? He just not smart enough. Walton cannot be worse than him. Only my opinion.
He’s made so many one on ones that he had absolutely no right to save, he definitely should not be dropped! He’s tested way too much and that’s squarely on the defence
£8m yes £8m for what? He's another Sereni. Good saves and terrible errors. IMO, the goalkeeper can win you points, but he's not giving confidence to the defenders. They have no idea of what he's going to do, come for a ball, or stay on the line. Walton must start against Leicester. We need assurance between the posts. Walton isn't good with his feet. However, stop the tippy happy stuff at the back and we cut out most of the stupid errors.
No, no, no. I agree with ALEX!!! Give him a break!! He has the hardest job in the team at the moment. How many times have goalkeepers saved defensive errors? Everyone should encourage every player at IPSWICH TOWN.
Burnley have had our pants down with muric and o shea.
He was poor for Burnley last season same as O’Shea, we sign them and are surprised that they’re aren’t very good. Poor signings
Their results improved hugely when Muric started playing towards the end of the season. Trafford was in goal prior.
Yes sign players that got relegated and they struggle. Funny that. Agents hawk these players round but they're not necessarily better than what you already have.
Premier league standards, Muric is not good enough
100% agree with AJ. 👍Needless to say, everyone's entitled to their opinion. Nonetheless, never fails to amaze me how because it's easy to kick a ball everyone thinks they can be a football manager.

Walton for me.
Next game is a must win or we are buggered
Should of kept hladky.
If you dont think hes cost us points not sure what yout watching.
I think protect him abit. Give walton a turn and get muric out of the spotlight and then slowly get his confidence back up again and get on the training pitch and go again.
He makes Andy Marshall look like Paul Cooper!
Get rid, he’s a clueless clown.
Our back four are really struggling, apart from Davis
Phillips should play at the back
@ 😂

He simply isnt good enough.
Distribution is awful too
To be fair, he won us a point at Brighton, but I also want him to be dropped. Can't stand him.
You need to get your brain tested, he’s won us a quarter of our points this season
I don't think we work hard enough at stopping the crosses from coming into our box either. 🤷
Probably not wise to record a pod after early morning beer, Alex 😂😂 Mark’s point is well made, a goalkeeper mistake is probably a goal. For me, excellent shot stopper but he doesn’t communicate, command his box (6ft 5 plus 2ft with hands up) distribution is .. and as for those throws ..

Muric had a very very poor opening match at Man City, Walton had a good match against Liverpool under a lot of pressure, to come in at the deep end and deserves a chance.
Agree with Alex, all our defenders have made mistakes and need to be better, not just Muric
I really don't want to see individual players picked out for extra criticism but we've got to get some points on the board and despite some amazing saves, we must get Walton in there.
His distribution is the problem for me, I can live with a few mistakes, especially when offset against some great save. But his poor distribution has changed our game, you can see the defence has no confidence in his distribution, and therefore are not hungry for the ball.
I think the problem is that we allow opposition far too many efforts on goal . He's not to blame for that.Having said that his communication with his defenders seems poor.
I’m afraid so - otherwise Walton might as well leave. Has to be based of form or what are what are we doing.
If Muiric is allowed to continue then why are we bothering to have 3 reserve keepers???
A good keeper will have control over his defence and therefore not need to be called upon to make too many saves in a match. He needs to instil confidence in his defence and I don’t see that. It’s very similar to when Serini came in after Richard Wright.
Walton player very well against Liverpool and nobody would have questioned KM if he had stuck with him. Muric would then have to work hard to win his place.
Alex what a superb review. I wholeheartedly agree with you.
Ian Walton was dropped and no one cared, because we had a new keeper with premier league experience. Well that didn't work out so good, so drop Music with the same casual move.
I think Muroc was to blame for all 3 goals at Brentford. He didn't come out and close the attacker down enough, too slow, not committed. Jonah.

I think he will come good and play for us in premier league for years.
Change the keeper and go for Jordan Henderson and we might just might stay up
YES YES YES YES Drop him.
I agree. Give Walton a chance and give Muric some time with the coaches sorting out his obvious shortcomings.
Is Walton’s distribution any better ? I don’t think so in fact that’s one of the reasons why he didn’t get back into the team last season. Some of the comments I’ve seen about Muric are a bit harsh..he has made some great saves and I’m not convinced they’re saves Walton would makes.

No. His distribution is terrible.

He’s made so many one on ones that he had absolutely no right to save, he definitely should not be dropped! He’s tested way too much and that’s squarely on the defence
Why on earth did they change the goalkeeper they had ?
For me his communication is very poor and so is his decision making and as a gk you will get judged and punished for this at any level of football
£8m yes £8m for what? He's another Sereni. Good saves and terrible errors. IMO, the goalkeeper can win you points, but he's not giving confidence to the defenders. They have no idea of what he's going to do, come for a ball, or stay on the line. Walton must start against Leicester. We need assurance between the posts. Walton isn't good with his feet. However, stop the tippy happy stuff at the back and we cut out most of the stupid errors.
It's the cut for the agent that matters. You can just hear him on the phone talking him up.
I would but I don’t think he will because he spent 8 million on him
Definitely has to be walton far better
I don’t think the defence trust him that’s where that forth goal came from for me he is costing us goals and points making us a laughingstock
Muric a terrible signing has never looked confident, for such a big lump he's very timid and i think the pink strip he wears is very apt 😂😘
Vas was crap when he first signed for us
he wasnt fully fit in the Man City game
Red flag from week 1 sorry …. Guess I’m not a fan of him
No, no, no. I agree with ALEX!!!
Give him a break!! He has the hardest job in the team at the moment. How many times have goalkeepers saved defensive errors?
Everyone should encourage every player at IPSWICH TOWN.
End of conversation boring get rid of this dross keeper going down with him in goal!!!!!!
