Daniel Iversen

Daniel Iversen

Pickford made some unreal saves but I think I’d put Daniel above him, just.
Jordan wins hands down with commanding his area and distribution.
I’ve never seen a keeper so accurate both off the floor and out of his hands.

You said "goalkeepers are easy to pick up as we’ve shown in recent years".

So why are we picking up the likes of Ripley on a 3-and-a-half-year deal in recent years?

Because it isn't easy at all.

Ripley was the strong recommendation of our goalkeeping coach at the time. ( he is no longer with us, Nuff said. )

We do have a proven formula for bringing in young keepers from prem teams , developing them for the owning club who can sell them on to far richer clubs than ours at a huge profit.

Much as it grieves me , this has proven far better than scouring lower leagues for keepers that don’t step up. I feel when Dan goes we have to do the same again. There should be other 3rd choices keepers among the premier league that want games.

Sure, but in general, Prem clubs take their time letting players out on loan during pre-season, and due to Rudd's injury we're going to be completely keeper-less at the end of the season.

So we're going to need to bring in at least 1 of those lower league keeper punts on a permanent deal pretty sharpish when the window opens, and realistically we're going to need 2 of them.

Let's hope Pollitt is better with his recommendations than Cudworth.

A lot of recency bias on show here I reckon. Pickford single handedly won us so many points in that 6 month spell, I’ve never seen a goalkeeping performance like Birmingham at home where he saved about 8 Demarai Gray one on ones. Burnley away too he was an absolute joke.

Iversen’s handling and distribution is not close to Pickford’s imo, as I said the other week I would probably say that they are extremely close in shot stopping and tough to pick between them but overall I’d have Jordan every day of the week.

Fine but we’re not going to sign England’s number one are we?

There’s a slim chance we could get DI and I would urge our owners to take it.
 
I've never been as impressed with a goalkeeper as I have been with Iversen. It's not the number of saves he makes, it's the importance of the saves he does. They're usually shots you'd expect to see go in (and wouldn't be upset with the goalkeeper for conceding). He's got a points-winning mentality and is incredibly creative with his reflexes.

If our defence allowed fewer shots against his clean sheets record would be right up there.
 
I have more affinity with Iversen simply because he's been here much longer and I've physically seen him make more vital saves.

I think Pickford also benefitted from a more solid defence in front of him too with the likes of Clarke, Huntington, Bailey-Wright, Cunningham, Woods. Whereas Iversen has had some real ass clowns in front of him at times.

Both are obviously great keepers but I personally value the season and a half of Iversen higher. He makes goal keeping look effortless whereas Pickford was a bit Hollywood at times.

In terms of their stats...

Pickford started 24 games for us, faced 80 shots and we won 6 of those games, with 8 clean sheets.

Iversen has started 65 games, faced 239 shots and we've won 22 of those games, with 22 clean sheets.

I think a lot will be if Argyle go up or not , If cooper wants to go he will be gone, argyle surely wont stand in his way for a Premiership team or even a championship one getting as much for him as they can, whether they need to sell or not.

Yes your right there the only chance we have of keeping him is if we go up. My hope is that he doesn't become another young keeper stacked on the bench and no chance of playing. It will be interesting to see what happens
 
Pickford then vs Iversen now I'd possibly just say Iversen. Possibly just down to how long we've seen Iversen perform compared to Pickford. Pickfords distribution will never be matched, but I feel Iversen has made so many saves, he just sticks in the mind more.

Pickford now vs Iversen now I'd obviously choose Pickford. But we're so fortunate that we can compare such elite keepers at this level.
 
Iverson edges Pickford for me but i find it slightly ironic that it sometimes seems like we are dissing the one we think is 2nd or 3rd.
I know its not like that but sometimes it seems like that.
Recently Johnstone, Pickford and Iverson have all been top drawer and we have been blessed to see them. Whichever order we put them in 😀
 
Seems like there is a chance Iversen may get a shot at being number 1 for the upcoming season, Schmeichel supposedly on his way out

Just wondering if you guys would be able to give it a bit of a summary of his time with you?

Strengths and weaknesses etc.?

Quality shot stopper. Makes some outrageous saves.

Good at commanding his area and collecting crosses.

Very poor distribution.

Overall, at points I thought he was better than Pickford was for us. Other times just slightly under that level.

Amazing shot stopper, if Im being very picky was sometimes found wanting with his distribution, but, i promise you, im being very picky there.

Fantastic shot stopper

Wasn’t as commanding at corners as needed to be sometimes but he did improve

Distribution needed work


Overall a good solid keeper who won us many points over the season

Is he good enough for no 1 with you right now ? I would say not , but a more than able no 2

Strengths, nearly everything.
Weeknesses, distribution, especially kicking.
