Surprised at this outcome so far. Thought it would be closer to 50/50.
Due to the support for Saunders and people not even being aware of us having 1 bench keeper yet alone 2 (Rawls at the moment) I see Saunders starting the first couple of games and having to essentially lose the starting job due to performance.I think with the average fan it would be 50/50 or more likely 75/25 in favor of Saunders but the results make sense for the forums. If you're obsessive enough to watch preseason games like we all do you most likely understand the value of distribution and can't be wowed by dramatic saves that are often a result of the keeper being out of position.
If Eirik continues to impress and wins the starting spot its going to be an interesting 1st home game when 80% of the stadium totally unaware shows up to find their beloved Saunders on the bench.

We couldn't hear Lampard boos. Doubt we would hear these.Do you think they would boo? Do you think we would hear boos?
Didn't Saunders just sign a multi year contract though? What would be the point of benching him after that?
you're right I phrased it wrong. What I meant is why sign a multi year contract with him if you're looking for better talent to start?
NFL does it all the time. MLS probably thinks anything that draws eyeballs to the MLS is a good thing.Why is the MLS website publishing garbage like this that does nothing but shit on its own players? It's just in bad taste and unnecessary, regardless of how bad any of these guy might be.
