There are some seriously poor keepers in front of ward at Liverpool. Anybody looked to see what the Mainz fans saying about our new lad and his departure. DON'T PANIC! realsport101.com/news/sports/football/mainz-solve-goalkeeping-situation/He's obviously got the talent, surely a good goalkeeping coack can help with decision making - and Wagner + the whole tream can help him with nerves. Don't think we have a goalie coach at the moment. Hasn't ours just been sacked? |

Mainz bought Lossl in the summer after they'd just finished 6th in the Bundesliga and qualified for Europa League as their first choice. That proves there's no doubt he's got a lot of talent, and will have been watched over the season by Mainz scouts and given the nod.
For whatever reason, potentially confidence? He hasn't settled in fully and made a few mistakes for Mainz and now they're happy to loan him out. If we see the best of him (before his Mainz days) then he really could be a coup. Anybody remember how bad De Gea was his first season at United? He didn't turn out too bad when he finally adjusted and gained his confidence 😉.
As always, in Wagner we trust.

I now live in France and Guingamp is our nearest ligue 1 club, so I asked a French friend who has supported them for years to let me know his thoughts. This is his reply, in his best English.
So, We miss Jonas Lössl because he was a great player when he played to Guingamp (and I think he is a great player yet).
He played for two years for Guingamp and he proved during this period that he was an unbelievable player. We wanted that he stay in Guongamp but Mayence did a good offer around 3 million euros last summer and Guingamp which is a "small club" so, they accepted this offer.
Otherwise he would have stayed in Guingamp because he was very loved by supporters, not just because he was a good man but a very good goalkeeper.
So don't worry about him, if he arrived to help Guingamp to win, he should do the same thing with Huddersfield Town.

I like the cut of his jib. Got his head screwed on and seems a bright lad. Hopefully the calming influence we need at the very back

Why does the commentator speak to him like he doesn't understand English

Superb English. Huge gamble this one, I feel. A little concerning, his weak points are allegedly distribution and communication. Having said that he speaks fluent English, whereas he was just learning the German language. |

Good job our three German defenders speak English then. That's because all Wagners players had to speak good English to get contracts. Poor communication isn't necessarily down to language, guess we'll find out soon enough. |

In the interview Lössl says his distribution is "hot"; we know DW considers this to be important for a goalkeeper. I'd put more weight on what they say and think than the "expert on German football" on the TOTT report. |

It's an interesting read, but what on earth possesses someone to write an article about a player and then refer to him by his full name constantly, rather than using a simple pronoun like 'he'? It's a really weird read until the interview part. |

Having said that he wasn't overly critical and thinks he'll do well for us. |

Having said that he speaks fluent English, whereas he was just learning the German language. In his interview he reckons he's handy with his feet. We'll just have to see. I've seen him let in some bloody soft goals on Youtube. Hope he's got all that out of his system and let's his 'inner Schmichel' shine through.  |

Blake doesn't have that excuse.  |
