Brad Friedel what a goalkeeper, was brilliant for every club he played for very underrated by the general population
What a keeper Friedel was
the fact he was starting at 42 at a european PL side gets not enough attention

As opposed to an Asian or African PL team I assume ?
Dont blame AVB for being nervous, Friedel is a big guy.
That opening monologue from Brad about your view opening up and enjoying what will soon be the end of a chapter speaks true for so many things in life, really well put
There is a single guy at every concert in Columbus Ohio who wears an Aston Villa hat, gets shitfaced and yells that he’s brad’s cousin. I don’t even know if he is or not. Just feels like a good place to share.

To say Brad was in good form when he was dropped is a bit wild, we were throwing away some leads around that time, and there were a few moments in that time where a younger keeper could have saved us some points. Lloris had to come in and play, it was right to sign him.
In the 08/09 season he got a red card vs liverpool, meaning he would miss the next game thus ending the streak, however, the red card was reviewed by the FA and he was allowed to play in the next game.

For me, Friedel's the best American goalkeeper, and possibly American player, to play in the Premier League. Excellent professional!
Many USMNT fans regard Howard as the greatest keeper America has produced but for me it's Brad. Howard had the better US career, arguably, but Brad had the better overall career and his longevity and consistency is unmatched.
Would love a poddy with Jack Butland

Childhood great & I say that as a United fan - love these OGs that I grew up watching in the prem !
Seeing Brad score a Premier league goal is something I remember like it was yesterday. Absolutely incredible keeper and a million times better than lloris in my opinion. I don't think lloris is bad, just think Brad was better!
Cracking vid ❤

The PL has seen some great American keepers, Friedel, Howard, Keller.

Friedel never got the respect he deserved, great to listen to him
This Levy imprint is what we continue to see today. AVB wanted Hulk, Willian and Moutinho. But the club gave him Dempsey, Dembele (baller) and Lloris. Levy also thought signing Gedson was just as good as signing Bruno Ferndez..we could have bought Hazard, Grealish, Tomiyasu and so many good players that different managers at Spurs asked for, but instead they were given knock off versions. No way is Vicario signing better than David Raya, glad that illusion has been cleared up! Levy has been good for developing the stadium and other supporting infrastructure but now the club needs a Perez-esque football oriented Chairman backed by a new ownership - to take Spurs to the next (trophy) level.

Brad Guzan next!!
Loved him at villa
Looked it up - Friedel 6 games, 0 clean sheets. Lloris 1 game, 1 clean sheet. The actual next game was Chelsea not Wigan. Brad conceded 4 goals that day.💀
I clicked for Phil Mitchell
Loved Friedel but despite his good form he’s not mentioning how the fanbase were clamouring for Lloris to be in the first 11
Brad rose the level when gomes went, but towards the end he was stiff as cardboard.
Brad definitely has all the attributes to be a manager. He has a measured & thoughtful approach that players would respond to

@@interstellarbeatteller9306 MLS has its own forms of nuances and systems that do mean good managers still perform. Is it directly applicable to a relegation? Maybe not. But it’s ignorant to dismiss it entirely when that’s currently the best litmus test of his ability as a coach. Furthermore, the draft is hardly a factor in MLS teams anymore. The lack of relegation means it’s easier to build a strong squad with stability. The main constraint is the salary cap + too many games for thin squads. IE. Columbus crew is currently underperforming in the league because they’re in the champions league final and had to heavily rotate their squad to maintain that.
