Foster or Maka?

[Hibs Spain]

After watching the Charity Shield or whatever it's called and the performance of the Man U goalie,any clear thinking person will appreciate what a find we have in Maka. That Foster guy was like an outfield player stuck in goals. He was fumbling,dropping,getting caught in possession... And the two goals he let in would have been saved by Maka in his sleep

[CalgaryHibs]

in his sleep?

wow that i have to see

If/when he has recovers to have a few good games and then drops a clanger we can start to compare the 2.

Its a thing called dreaming.

Must be a different Foster than the one playing for Man U today then!

You'll have to phrase that differently...I don't understand your point

[Haymaker]

Foster did seem very nervous today but he is still a top keeper. All players, regardless of position or ability will have an off day... The difference between decent and class is the ability to bounce back quickly.

[hibsbollah]

I keep expecting Hibs fans to finally realise that Maka is a goalie worth respecting (and certainly keeping as the starter). His great performances have far outweighed his bad ones, but I dont think anything will change certain peoples' minds. He's just the nominated fall guy

I don't see that Maka has had anything to bounce back from. I believe as far as stats go he's in the top two or three in his league?

I didnt mention maka and i rate him highly. I merely commented on Foster.

If Foster is worse than Maka then why would Fergie be saying that hes going to be replacing Van Der Saar in a couple of years?

Maka has alot of potential and great ability but the only thing he lacks is experience which he will only gain by playing the game. I was very happy at how he dominated in the air against Bolton.

[heretoday]

Expect Man Utd to splash out big on a new goalie soon. Van der Saar is getting on a bit anyway.
I am guessing that Green of West Ham might be the guy.

A bit of psychological stuff to boost his confidence? Dunno.... The guy I saw today wouldn't get a game for Cowdenbeath

Every player has an off day However I was referring to this Foster

Giggs missed a penalty for Man U today, does this instantly make Kalou a better player for scoring his?

If Maka was as good as you constantly harp on about why isn't he playing for a top team in Serie A/Premiership/La Liga?

The vast majority of Hibs fans when given the choice of Foster over Maka would pick Foster.

I do agree however that Maka was very solid on saturday and long may it continue.

Ok. Foster made a mistake. Maka has made countless mistakes but had a few of decent games in between the bad ones.

When Foster starts consistently dropping clangers we can compare the 2 - until then Foster is better than Maka.

It was said on a thread earlier that he'll likely sign for a "decent European side" when his contract's up at the end of the season.

Foster did almost nothing BUT make mistakes.. You'll have to remind me of the countless mistakes Maka has made because i can't think of any that deserve any out of the ordinary critisism and I go almost every game.I think stats are a reasonable way of gauging a goalie's performance don't you?

The most recent one was in our last competitive game. You're obviously choosing to blank them out, must be your way of dealing with it?

I think he's too tall.

Foster was up against Drogba, Anelka and Lampard. Maka plays against Nade and the like. You really can't be serious when comparing the two?
