Betts gets England cap

[FFCpmd]

Well done Betts - delighted!

[Twig]

Totally deserved. Betts has been our best keeper for a long time and remains our best until I see someone capable of taking over as our number one (and as yet I haven't).

So very pleased for him and as others have reminded us, he's one of our own.

You saw Fabri for 2 games. Rico for 1. Both wouldn't have been brought in if Bettinelli was 100% capable.

You reaallllly hate Betts don't you?! Only time I ever see you post is to big up Fabri and Rico and say Betts is useless!

Please show me where I called him useless?

My opinion is that Fabri and Rico are steps up for Bettinelli, who is a decent keeper, but we can do better.

But you've only seen Fabri twice and Rico once!

[hovewhite]

Fabri in the 2 games he's looked inferior to Betts in my view and I'm thinking slav felt the same!

I've seen both play at a significantly higher standard in the CL.

[Facts Not Fiction]

Statistically, Bettinelli has worse distribution success rate than Fabri, and a worse successful save rate over the 2 games. Not opinion, fact.

That old chestnut again. So when you accused me of judging Fabri and Rico after 2 and 1 games respectively you must have assumed I don't watch champions league?

And here's another fact: We are yet to lose with Bettinelli in goal this seaon, whereas we've only lost with Fabri in goal.

Here's another fact - We have only lost 4 league matches (including 2 play-off matches) in Betts' last 43 appearances in goal for us - Reading in the Play-offs, Sunderland away, Birmingham away and Derby in the Play-offs. We also haven't lost a home league match with him in goal since the 2015-16 season v Nottm Forest

Wow, that home record is impressive! Was not aware of that.

That fact relates to the team, not the man himself.

So you have observed them both play consistently at a much higher level?

[I Ronic]

Does it matter who plays where? Slavs picks the player he feels will do best in any particular game. He now has three keepers who all have their strengths. Several things happen when new players step into the squad. A player whose spot is under pressure can up his game. As Betts has done before. He may want away. Players coming in have to get to grips with possible a new league, country, language and style of play etc.
My heart would like Betts, as one of our own, to keep the shirt. My head wants the best possible player available to us.

[filham]

Well doe Betts, hope you are given some game time and a cap quite soon.
This really must give you the edge and make you our no 1 keeper.

Not consistently no. Several of their Champions League appearances were in games that were not of a higher standard than the prem.

Would this be Fabri's distribution in just two games? If so I am sure you fully u derstand that the statistical significance of such a small sample is far too low to provide any factual evidence?

[hovewhite]

Great position for Slav to have the chioce.

[Vinnieffc]

Heres another fact.  Betts speaks English.  Quite important as I know having been an ex defender with a few non English speaking keepers.

[Southcoastffc]

Statistically, Fulham only lose league games this season if I don't attend.   "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."

Ahh but how many penalties have each saved?
