Deserves a shout after yesterday's game. Made a crucial save at 3-1 when it seemed we cannot convert our huge chances, and generally was so composed with his passing that must have helped our young back line to make the transition to the senior team so smooth.

It was a good save but I'm not a fan of his punching, I didn't think he got enough distance on the one that led to the goal.
 
For me Steffen is a brilliant back up. I feel equally confident when he or Ederson plays.

Granted nobody can do what Ederson does passing wise but shot stopping or if we were in a penalty shoot out…I’d probably go with Zak.
 
I doubt he will be here for much longer tbh, the US manager will be the first to start the ball rolling by saying he can't select him for the U S A team as he isn't getting enough game time, etc.

Agreed but at least he has signed a contract extension, so we should get very good money for him, he won't be short on suitors.
 
Sadly when you get second choice keepers as good as him they eventually realise they are too good to be second choice and leave.
 
I reckon he would be 1st choice keeper for at least a dozen Prem teams. Some of our back ups aren’t great, we don’t have that issue with our GK position.

Sometimes money can be a great deterrant.

Luckily alot of the big clubs have there keeper set for the next 5 years or so.

It would probably be a mid table team who can match our salary offer.
 
Solid backup and I always feel confident enough when he's in net. Never going to take Ederson's spot, though.

I get the sense he knows he is good enough to start for a half dozen or so teams in the Prem (or even more in Germany/Spain/etc.) but is content in learning from the best for now. Not sure how long that will last, eventually he'll want to move on, and that's good business for player and club.
 
Great save at 1.0. The playing out from the back wasn’t as solid but we did break their press a few times and they pressed much more than they would had Eddie been playing

I think he will stay for few year before move on. Even he was mostly on the bench, he is not slacking on his training and with world class coach and facility really benefit him tremendously. I like him just because he knows that he is a backup keeper, he still training harder to earn his spot and hopefully winning a few starter in here and there.
 
No issues. Solid and that's all you want from your backup keeper. Never in a million years taking Edersons spot, you see how much we lose when Ederson isn't in net but expecting steffen to replicate him is asking too much.
 
Think the game could have gone differently if he doesn't stop Cornet's chance.

But people saying he should be our starter now need to take a deep breath.
 
Really good solid all round display from him today. Obviously it was a big save at 1-0 but he also had his wits about him when coming out to head the ball away a couple of times and managed to stand up for himself in the box and get something on the ball to clear crosses when Burnley’s big lumps were pressuring him.
 
Agree

It would be amazing if he could be our shotstopper, and Ederson our sweeper and passing GK. Anyway, what Ederson gives us, even with his limitations, is vital to the way we play.
