I will stand up for Fraser, but he was poor, very poor today, again after being away on England duty. The few weeks leading up to the international break he was looking much more solid and pulled off some great saves.
Lets hope he is back on it, next game.
Disagree with the communication. Not sure what it is like now, but he was shit hot on positioning his defence, reading the game ahead of him. Perhaps he does not have the same confidence in his defence anymore, or perhaps for some reason he is not 100% switched on.
Whatever it is it needs addressing and sorting, or we need to drop him and give some other poor fucker a chance to be moaned at. 
If only you could get down for him as well, things might not look so bad.
Iām downgrading him to Threestar
On todayās showing that should be diesel. Having watched the highlights, Iād now say he was very much at fault for both goals, the second in particular. For the first I think he had the initial shot covered OK and was then left stranded when the shot was blocked straight to Hayden, but he was horribly slow to get up. The second - oh dear.
Sorry Chutters but canāt agree on much of this. Whatās the point of supporting a club if youāre happy to simply accept your lot and settle for the realistic.
Forster gets paid a lot of money to do a job and for a long time now he canāt even get the basics right.
Iāve tried to be patient with him (mostly out of respect for @sfcsim thoughts on it) but the manās a liability and has cost us more points in the last year or so, than Sunderland totalled last season. Itās gone beyond being simply a bad patch. He canāt catch a ball, seems completely unaware of whatās going on around him and has the body language of a shell shocked casualty of war.
He canāt even hide behind the excuse that weāve got a shit defence. FFS Joe Hart and three kids are higher in the pecking order for that England shambles. Says it all.
ā¦ two stroke
What other keepers do we have available at the moment to replace him ?
If only we had a back up keeper good enough to be called up by England.
Oh waitā¦
From that F365 article posted on the Barcodes matchday thread
And then thereās Fraser Forster, who must surely rival Wayne Hennessey for the Premier League goalkeeper most out of form. Forster was only kept off the bottom of a list of regular goalkeepers sorted by save percentage by David Marshall and Claudio Bravo last season. This season that figure is far improved, but Forster is still making far too many errors in technique and decision-making. He was slow to get to his feet for Isaac Haydenās first goal, and parried away a shot before somehow making himself smaller for Ayoze Perezās. Neither Alex McCarthy nor Stuart Taylor constitute meaningful competition for places, and that might be part of the problem.
Used to think Fraser was āfour starā.
Has looked a bit Digby for the last year.
e.g. Could not catch a cold.
Give my son a game? He is 5, but a Fraser.
Heāll be charged with stopping a speeding football propelled by professional kickers of footballs, not the fate of a cheesecake thatās just fallen off your kitchen island, FFS.
Nevertheless, get him down for a trial. Wednesday.
You turned down the chance to call him Alastair?
I see āFlight Simā went straight over your head?
Surely āThatā would be a perfect name.
Donāt you mean āTheā?
