Socceroos vs Canada/USA Oct 25

Ryan back to his old issue of being rooted to the ground and not diving. I’m a Ryan fan, but I think Izzo saves that.
Potentially that's the challenge when a keeper has the entire goal to cover like that. There are so many places the striker can choose from. Just like tennis you've got to make your choice and a class placement won't be stopped. All of Izzo's saves were in his reach. The shots tonight would require arms that humans don't have. Get a ruler out and it's way away.
 
Burgess is a carthorse unforgivably ball watching but seriously, Ryan? Did he really think it was going past the post? Because he didn't even attempt to reach it.

The number of times I've seen Ryan turn and watch the ball go into the net...

Terrible goal to conceded on every level.

At the end of the day though you have to guess and go one way when he strikes it. Ryan just stands there like a spare dick.
 
Why does Ryan so often not bother diving? You could make a reel of times he has watched the ball go in
Because if you look at the angles the ball is actually way father away than it looks. The decision to anticipate a ground shot is there. If it's a ground shot it's saved. Here is isn't. This is the gamble keepers need to take.

As do so many keepers when it goes past them. You'll see that every weekend in highlight packages. It sucks but the keeper has been beaten by a good shot.

Do you think Ryan would have kept the last game a clean sheet?
