When you also factor in his poppadom hands then you have to conclude that he is in the wrong profession. When he smirked at the camera during the documentary I nearly kicked the TV. Both he, and the manager for picking him when he was obviously feckin useless, cost us big time. When people wax lyrical about Stendel they should remember that. There had to have been something in his loan deal that meant that he had to play a certain amount of games. There really is no other excuse surely! I remember there was an article after the season was cut that said Man Utd had written off the remaining % of wages we were due on his deal. We should have claimed a full refund for the season.

Given that his experience at the famous will be pretty fresh in his head, he’ll do well to get over that performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Lighter Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 It wouldn't surprise me if he was late to goalkeeping, he was pretty tidy with the ball on the deck so possibly an outfield player who wasn't quiet good enough to make pro, so decided to give it a bash as a goalie because of his height.

R1874 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Comfortably worst player ever seen at Hearts never mind goalie. We would have stayed up and finished midtable with a normal gk. Huddersfield scout needs fired asap. If he just bins any dream of playing he could make a great living as 3rd choice keeper. Think he will be homegrown in England? Been at Man U for a while Just spend next 10 years earning crazy money. Pinging crosses for other goalies to catch and saving shots in training. Sat on bench watching football.

Spellczech Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I think he is an outfield player who someone has suddenly decided should be a GK because of the trend for sweeper-keepers.

tian447 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 4 hours ago, Smoked-Glass said: Antii Niemi had a bad debut... Antii Niemi also had the ability to stop a ball without it either immediately going under him, putting it back into play for an easy rebound goal, or letting his legs collapse in a heap and letting the ball soar over him into the net. Pereira will not have a good career at Huddersfield, and there are plenty of teams in that league who will smash at least 4 past him in every game. He is just not good enough in any interpretation of the word "good". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simo Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Just seen the goals Good to see he's improved over the summer then... I'm 32 so don't remember some of the shockers I've heard about from the 70s but genuinely think he might be the worst player I've ever seen at Hearts. You can see some players have ability and it doesn't work out for them for various reasons but Pereria genuinely just looks like somebody who's never played football before...

Jeff Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) It's bizarre how often he dived low only for the ball to go above him. Seen the two Hibs goals in the documentary and if you watch his positioning for the first Stoke goal it's almost like a copy and paste... It's like he's never sure where the middle of the goal is. Never looks comfortable Edited November 23, 2020 by Gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmreido Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 The 4rth Stoke goal was the worst, it goes in the centre of the goal, then claps his hands and starts blaming players in front of him, did that all the time when with us, shocking keeper, worst I've ever seen.

I've never seen a professional keeper who simply makes himself small and pretty consistently get's out of the way of the ball. It's actually quite astonishing. You'd think Huddersfield would have done their homework and assessed the video footage or the games he played for us. Just awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing changed from his time at the Swiss club, other clubs, from us to Huddersfield. It's his style and it's similar to de Gea. To be fair to de Gea he had a better time of it for awhile until the wheels came off. I don't want to be entirely unduly negative, he comes across as a good professional, just talentless in goalkeeping sense.
