Mat ryan is a fantastic goalkeeper, so glad he is at arsenal, he did not deserve to be dropped at BHA
He is a solid keeper though I don’t understand
I’m gonna drop you. Here’s an upgrade to your childhood club. BHA 🤦♂️
Im baffled Brighton dropped him he has been decent in the prem for couple years
Who's Graham Potter?….a nobody. Discuss…..
Someone with some clout high up told the coach to ditch him surely… Maybe some old blokes trophy wife has a crush on him. Makes more sense than anything else.
For the Aussies that can’t understand why Ryan was dropped (socceroo goges on).
– one of the worst save percentages in the league
– Brighton had two better keepers
– No point keeping Ryan on the wage bill to continue being 3rd choice
– Ryan is unfortunately just too short to be a top class PL keeper.
Its ok Ryan he will be dropped next lol😂😂😂
Onwards and upwards Maty, you're a great keeper!
Basically!
Same story for Jahanbakhsh?
Matty, some advice, don't waste your time with time wasters in your life
Why does he sound English lol
My teacher told me that she is Mat’s cousin. Her name is meagan Ryan
Love Ryan! Great keeper. As a Brighton fan I was sad to see him leave and a bit shocked myself. But Sanchez has done well and I understand the decision as it has made the team better in my opinion. That being said maty seems like a great guy and is a great talent I wish all the best with were he ends up, whether that be at arsenal or abroad. Thanks for everything maty!
As a lifelong Brighton fan of nearly 40 years having seen the ups and downs of the club I'd like to say Thank you to Mat for his service to the club and how well he has played for us.
However, a lot of the comments are correct here that his height had become an issue in not commanding his area and us conceding too many goals from corners and free kicks. Also with the way GP likes to play out from the back his distribution was poor.
No doubt he was a good shot stopper but I also think Sanchez just ticks more boxes and has been at the club a very long time waiting his chance..
Good luck Mat and up the Albion!
Not tall enough and cost us in a lot of games, great servant to BHA though.
Good luck at the Gunners Maty
Potters loss and incompetent decision making.
