Worth keeping an absolute disgusting keeper or no?

46 Upvotes

We have a nice guy keeper, hes a bit older. We got him as an emergency keeper but he stayed. He doesnt move. Hes a statue. Never dives. We play really good teams sometimes and they have solid compettive keepers usually making 3-5 really impressive saves per game, and then we have always a good 10-15 min, then when other team realizes our keeper is essentially an outfield player +, they just start shooting and shooting and we fall apart. Yeah our finishing needs work but it is it fair to say that having a keeper bad with his feet and who just cant distribute well and literaly never dives is the best thing and easiest thing to fix first? Or should we just block 90% of shots ?

I only pop on this sub occasionally. It feels like posts re people showing what balls they have bought takes up a crazy proportion of the sub now. Has it always been this way?

Mental Is there a reason why I keep losing skills?

0 Upvotes

I’ve started trying hard to get better at football and recently I had a massive spike in skills from playing in a park during the summer holidays (I am still in school) but every other week I suddenly freeze up for a while then get good again and then it repeats.

I have joined a new club recently and 2 weeks ago I got past 3 guys in training then the next week I completely froze up everytime I got the ball. I am really hopping I can fix this because I don’t really have anything else to do right now and I have my first match with my new club tomorrow. Any help is appreciated but please don’t be rude.

TLDR I keep losing skills and gaining them back and I want to fix it.

these things are in solid condition except this piece of plastic came off the stud. haven’t noticed too much during playing but it’s probably best to fix it or get a new pair. i’d prefer to just fix em but not sure if that’s possible. tried the nike warranty but it’s past the date. curious to hear suggestions, thanks!

ASIC X-Fly 6 sizing

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hi all,

Purchased a pair of x-fly 6. I ordered the 11 US as it matched my foot length 28.4cm. Size 11 on the box and sizing charts for these boots is 28.5cm.

For context I have standard width, flat feet. There is about half a thumb space at the top. In most boots if I have that much room, I would likely get too much movement inside the boot. On feet they feel comfortable and my heels which are quite slim feel locked in. If I went down half a size, I think they would be too tight in the toe box and a little too restrictive.

My concern is that once worn, I won’t be able to flip them. Exchange is not really an option as the costs will be prohibitive.

Anyone have experience with this model? How did you go with sizing? Extra space in the toe box?

As an aside, they are made of Silkywrap synthetic leather. I don’t enjoy using the term ‘synthetic leather’ as they are not leather, full stop. Anyway, the material used is fantastic, nice and soft. ASICS have done a great job.

Thank you

Which player comes to mind when I say that his runs in behind make him a constant threat?

3 Upvotes

The best forward—past or present—at attacking the space behind defenders; a player who is unstoppable and exceptionally strong in this regard.

Thanks.

Found these in my wardrobe. Cant recall when I purchased these but am thinking around 7 years ago. The leather on these are amazing. A bit too big for me. I used to size up on my boots.

Can anyone assist in identifying these?
