Indeed, I think it's right that Turner is a bloody good shot stopper, always has been. He's just not a footballer.

I humbly suggest Sniff can be too sensitive about any Greek comments.
Let’s not go down the rabbit hole- the bottom line is neither are probably up to the level we would hope for.
Vlach may improve, but imho is still a step down from Navas who was a step down from Henderson who was a step down from Samba.
God I miss the mad Frenchman

I can only go off what I've seen and to be honest neither GK feel me with security. Turner can't kick a ball, has weak wrists and can't cover the goal. Vlachodimos has no presence in the box, is very flat footed and lacks bravery. Right now GK is a problem area for us. I think it comes from us not knowing who our number one is and both worried about making errors.

By the way, Odysseas was born and grew up in Germany and was signed to VfB Stuttgart from a young age where he stayed until he was 22. He had only 2 years in Greece before joining Benfica for whom he made over 200 appearances.
He is about as greek as some Tesco own brand Feta cheese.

We've had the upgrade/downgrade debate all season and regardless to if you choose Turner or Oddy the reality is at this stage you'd rather have neither. Massive downgrade on Navas and Hendo. Not the only position we downgraded in the summer but I'll keep it relevant.
15/20 odd million in the summer. Will be interesting to see if they stick or twist in January. The lack of stability also isn't helpful. As someone mentioned above Oddy may have not had a fair chance yet and those stats are controlled by the Fulham game. How many goals was he at fault for?

First oddy game he kept a clean sheet, the Villa game. Something definitely happened with the whole squad after that. Too many billy big bollocks thinking it was a sign we’d piss the leagues bigger teams and deciding to take it too easy?

Get Vlachodimos back in and leave him there this time.
He has not made any glaring errors and should never have been dropped.
