lumley never got less stick but did get a village near chester le street named after himHonestly tired of it. Lumley and Betenelli got less stick and they were actual liabilities

He is cut so so much slack by some posters.
Goalkeepers pride themselves on keeping clean sheets.
He has 7 from his 30 matches.
No fewer than 13 keepers have more clean sheets this season in our league, another 2 have the same 7 as him.
Lumley has 6 playing for Reading!
Are his fan club honestly saying that our defence is our problem and he saves us being worse. Utter nonsense.
I'm sure he won't be back next season and we will be better off for it.
Your last sentence puts your contribution in context.For a Man City no2 supposedly earning 80 grand a week (with City hopefully contributing a good chunk of that) I expected a lot more I'll be honest. Most games he will gift the opposition a goalscoring opportunity with his poor distribution. He doesn't command his box when crosses come in as well as I thought he would.
I'm not saying he's a terrible keeper and he's obviously a big upgrade on Lumley and Bettinelli but a cardboard cutout would be an upgrade on those two jokers.
Well our defence isn't brilliant. Nothing wrong individually (although McNair gets dragged out of position a little) but the way we play doesn't really help with clean sheets (that's not a criticism, it's just a balancing act of attack vs defensc and out commitment to playing football and going forward.He is cut so so much slack by some posters.

Tbf with regards to QPR, did you expect Chair to shoot? I don't think anybody did.I understand that he's important to how we want to play, we can't just drop him for Roberts as he's a totally different goalkeeper.
That however does not make Steffen a good keeper.
The 2nd goal on Saturday, tame effort straight at him that he pushed out to the attacker right in front of him.
QPR last week his positioning was awful for their goal.
Sunderland he didn't even look up and passed the ball straight to Diallo to give him a clear 1v1. He was then slow to respond to the 50/50 that got Dael Fry sent off.
That's all in last month, and there's been plenty of other stuff he's got away with.
He's clearly not Man City's number 2 or they wouldn't have loaned him outFor a Man City no2 supposedly earning 80 grand a week
They loaned him out because he wanted to play at The World Cup.He's clearly not Man City's number 2 or they wouldn't have loaned him out
Even if he did, the people who complain about him every game wouldn’t be straight on here raving about him. They’d just keep quiet about slagging him off previously.
It’s something that’s already set in when it comes to Steffen, unfortunately.
They loaned him out because he wanted to play at The World Cup.
They couldn't garuntee him games
Yeah and that went well didn't it. Never made the USA team.They loaned him out because he wanted to play at The World Cup.

I agree.. he ruins all of our shots and up picking up 2.57ppg is dreadful.. two clean sheets out of the last six.. one loss in six games is just not on!!He’s costing us huge chances 1/2 times a game. He’s a liability
He left the goal wide open with his positioning, there was always a chance the taker would spot this and go for goal.Tbf with regards to QPR, did you expect Chair to shoot? I don't think anybody did.
You can't blame steffen for Fry being sent off, he was the one who pulled Stewart back for 20 yards.
In the last month he's
Pulled off some great saves against Sheffield United after adjusting to collecting the ball in the air against their tall players.
Made multiple good saves against West Brom.
Started quick counter attacks with his passing. Most of our attacks start with him
Kept a clean sheet against Watford, Milwall and Blackpool.
Plenty of good
Was injured the month before.Yeah and that went well didn't it. Never made the USA team.
Really?Made multiple good saves against West Brom.
Jeez is the keepers fault fry for sent off. Can I have one of whatever your drinking, its good stuff.He left the goal wide open with his positioning, there was always a chance the taker would spot this and go for goal.
If we had Joe Lumley in goal (who I didn’t rate at all) Fry doesn’t get sent off as he’d have came out and swept that into the stands. Fry was left exposed and by the time Steffen smelt the danger it was far too late, if Fry saw Steffen coming out to narrow the angle and clear that ball he doesn’t need to make a challenge.
Cardiff. I missed that one off. Another goal he cost us in the last month. Overhit pass to McNair who gets dispossessed, cross comes in and it’s in our net.
He costs us so many goals, the amount of protection he gets from sections of our fanbase because he’s not Joe Lumley is incredible.
This!We win as a team.
We lose as a team.
He will do for now.
Really he’s small for a keeper? He’s nearly 6-3. Not really that small.The way I see it, he's 27 which is still young for a keeper. He's been sitting on the bench basically playing Cup games for years, he's suddenly came to a club where let's face it he's not picking out De Bruyne and are adapting to playing out from the back.
I also disagree with you about him not commanding his box. I think he's getting better at it each week. He's actually small for a keeper. Its difficult
