Ben Foster Fan

Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster is certain that compatriot Aaron Ramsdale is already a world class goalkeeper. The Hornets shot stopper labelled Arsenal goalkeeper Ramsdale as world class in a chat with English media outlet 90min. According to Ben Foster, England international Ramsdale fits the profile of an ideal modern shot stopper.

Ben Foster has been impressed with the start made by 23-year-old Ramsdale following his transfer to Arsenal last summer. The transfer was heavily criticised, but his performances for the Gunners have gone a long way to silence those who criticised the transfer.

Ramsdale has shown mental strength to recover from two successive relegations from the Premier League. He was in goal as Bournemouth suffered relegation from the Premier League at the end of the 2019/20 season. Following the Cherries’ demotion to the English Championship, Sheffield United paid around £20m to sign him at the start of last season and he would go on to suffer relegation with the Blades in his first season. After one season at Bramall Lane, Ramsdale was on the move again.

Arsenal signed him from the Blades at the start of the current season and he has been a revelation. The Gunners paid an initial fee of £24m for him with an extra £6m in add-ons. He has been one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League this season with ten clean sheets in just 18 appearances.

Ramsdale is a major reason why the Gunners have improved defensively especially in terms of their Premier League clean sheet record. German international Bernd Leno was the first choice goalkeeper at Arsenal before the arrival of Ramsdale and he has been displaced by the Englishman. Leno is expected to leave Arsenal as a result with the likes of Newcastle United and Bayer Leverkusen keen on signing him.

Foster has not played for Watfordsince the Manchester United game towards the end of November. He was in goal as Watford secured their best performance of the season till date thanks to the 4-1 win over his former team, Manchester United. Josh King and Ismaila Sarr scored as the Hornets raced into a two-goal lead at the end of the first half. Ben Foster conceded the Manchester United goal at the start of the second half with Dutchman Donny Van De Beek getting the goal five minutes into the second half having come on as a half-time substitute. Watford then scored twice late in the game through substitute Joao Pedro and Emmanuel Dennis to secure a memorable win against the Red Devils.

Nigerian attacker Emmanuel Dennis is the leading goalscorer at Watford and he won’t be involved against the Foxes this weekend after he picked up a knock against Tottenham Hotspur in the league last weekend. Watford manager Claudio Ranieri revealed in his pre-match press conference ahead of the FA Cup third round tie with Leicester City that Dennis won’t feature during the game as he’s been saved for subsequentmatches.

Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster is unlikely to play again this year after he picked up a groin injuryin training ahead of the recent Premier League clash at Leicester City. Until the Leicester City game penultimate Saturday,Ben Foster had been a regular in the Watford goal since Italian tactician Claudio Ranieri became their new manager. Watford had turned to ex-Leicester City and Chelsea boss Ranieri after Xisco Munoz was sacked two months ago.

Since his injury, Ben Foster has now missed two games in the Premier League. He was absent for the Leicester City, Chelsea and Manchester City games.
Watford started the season with Austrian national team shot stopper Daniel Bachmann before Ben Foster displaced him as the number one goalkeeper for the Hornets. Bachmann has been in goal since Foster sustained the aforementioned groin problem.

Bachmann was in the Watford goal as Leicester City ran out 4-2 winners in the league. Jamie Vardy (brace), James Maddison and AdemolaLookman all found the back of the net for the Foxes, while Norwegian international Joshua King (penalty) and Emmanuel Dennis were on the scoresheet for the Hornets. For the Chelsea game,

Watford gave a good account of themselves but ended on the losing side. Chelsea attacker Hakim Ziyech scored in the second half to seal a 2-1 away win over the Hornets in the Premier League after striker Emmanuel Dennis cancelled out the opening goal from Chelsea playmaker Mason Mount. Watford were also beaten at home by Premier champions Manchester City. Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva (brace) scored as the Citizens beat Watford 3-1.

Ben Foster made his first appearance of the season for Watford and he was able to keep a clean sheet as the Hornets progressed into the third round of the Carabao Cup. Ben Foster was in goal as Watford beat Palace 1-0 at home in their second round clash last week.

Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson has ways made it known that he wants to be the next number one goalkeeper for both his club and country and he has been working towards reaching that goal in recent times. Henderson has had to follow quite a tedious path toward becoming as good as he is at the moment and he believes that even though it may take him some time, he is willing and ready to work and perform at the level demanded of him to displace the current starting goalkeepers at Manchester United and the England national team.

He spent two seasons on loan at Bramall Lame playing for Sheffield United before returning to Old Trafford last season to fight for a starting spot at the club. Upon his return, Henderson was full of confidence in his abilities and capabilities and revealed in his very first interview as a United returnee that he has only come back to take over the starting role between the sticks at Old Trafford and with the Three Lions as well.

It was a tough call to make for United manager Olé Gunnar Solksjær but he eventually decided to hand Henderson the starting spot in the team for Premier League games while De Gea was handed a starting role in UEFA Europa League games. Although he was a bit shaky in goal for United during some games, Henderson largely showcased why he is the club’s next goalkeeper for many years to come.

He continued to show confidence and improvement game after game and it became hard for De Gea to win back his Premier League starting status. Former United teenage goalkeeper Ben Foster has now revealed that he believes that if Henderson continues to be confident and improve on his game, then he will surely end up becoming England’s starting goalkeeper very soon.

Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster was one of those who called for England national team manager Gareth Southgate to include Manchester City star Raheem Sterling in the starting XI ahead of their Euro 2020 opener with Croatia in Group D and he has been able to repay the faith shown in him and others. Ben Foster called for Sterling to start the Croatia game on his YouTube channel.

Arsenal target Sterling has the ability to strike fear into opponents easily according to Ben Foster as he backed the Manchester City player to produce the goods at the tournament. Foster was proved right after Sterling scored the goal that won the game for England at the expense of the Croatians. The Manchester City attacker scored in the second half after receiving a wonderful pass from the impressive Leeds United player Kalvin Philips. Philips delivered a good pass and Sterling was able to apply the finishing touch to give the Three Lions the three points at stake and at the expense of the Croatians.

Manchester City are the Premier League champions but they are expected to make some signings and let a few of their players leave this summer. It has been reported that Sterling could be one of the players to leave with keen interest from Arsenal. The Gunners will definitely have to pay the big bucks if they want to sign the former Liverpool player with £49m quoted as the asking price.

For now, the Euro tournament is the focus for Sterling amidst talks about his Manchester City future. He has scored the only goal for England in the two games played. Sterling played the entire game against Scotland on Friday night ass England played out a goalless draw to stay in second place on the group standings behind leaders Czech Republic with four points from two matches.

Former England international goalkeeper Ben Foster has tipped his country to put up a strong fight at the Euros 2020-2021 after claiming that the side have a squad full of players that are capable of going all the way in the competition. The former Watford and West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper says he believes that the squad England head coach Gareth Southgate has summoned is a very strong one and the players in the squad should all know what it takes to have a great tournament and that they must also play to win the competition.

The 38-year-old said from the goalkeeping department to the defense, the midfield, and the group of attacker’s, including the likes of Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Harry Kane, Jack Grealish, Raheem Sterling, and others, there is a very encouraging squad depth and they should make use of it to their advantage if they want to emerge as the winners of the competition which is set to start in June and finish in July.

Foster said that England has a lot of players that have remarkable quality and talent and that it’s always going to be a tough decision to not call up some players who feel they deserve to be called up. He said, for instance, Patrick Bamford performed excellently well for Leeds United last season but did not earn a call-up to the national team side and even though the player believes he deserved a spot, Southgate did what he thought was best.
