Looking at some of his floor passing and through balls down the middle, surely Charles should be playing alongside Ronny?
(Did some very very good stuff today, totally threw Blackburn off their game when they couldn't press first half). |  | | |  |

I thought he already was playing alongside Ronnie! | | | |

‘Prince Charles from the halfway line’: it’s only a matter of time. | | | |

He's like having a quarter back in the team. His distribution is pinpoint. By far the best visionary passer of the ball since Faurlin. And he's the goalkeeper! |  |

Well No. He made an excellent save today as well. | | | |

Going back a bit further in time Don Masson was a similar visionary player and could land the ball on the proverbial sixpence too. It’ll be interesting to see how other teams deal with Pierce as the season progresses. | | | |

How did he end up in goal? Good with both feet, sees a pass early, never flustered. Not that tall. Who suggested he should be a goalie in the first place rather than a midfield general? | | | |

He's a nice bloke as well - he was in our pub with his wife Camilla the other night and bought me a pint of pig's ear. |  | | |

Can't really recall any keeper even at the highest level that has his level of skill and range of passing.
Think we will know more about his actual goalkeeping skills in other games.But for a 20 year old has amazing confidence and assuredness.
City know what they are doing. Suddenly more keepers will need these outfield talents. |  |

City only loaned him out because he passes forward too often for their liking. [Post edited 29 Aug 23:11]

To be perfectly honest I am a bit worried about his ability in our box when big bastards are up attacking corners etc .Not any reason why just seems a bit on the slight side but maybe the TV makes you slimmer lol .
Obviously he is superb delivering out balls and the defenders are really loving that not one hesitation passing back like the first half today .
Hopefully he will stay healthy and continue his great year |  | | |

Can honestly say that in 60 years of watching football, I've can't remember ever seeing a goalkeeper quite like him. He adds another dimension - I mean, pep obviously brought this ball playing keeper stuff to the UK, but this is something else completely - he moves us forward quicker, picks out precise long balls and gives the back four complete confidence to bring him into play. Oh, and on top of this he can actually use his hands too....
totally unique .... |  | | |

Hell get caught offside at least once this season  |  |
| It's being so happy that keeps me going. |

He's kinda unique for sure. I'll bet oppo players are dying to lob in a long distance goal from a misplaced pass. | | | |

Quite a remarkable difference to be being pressed all the time because a simple pass completely takes 3-4 players out of the game. And if it’s not on wide, it’s direct to feet through the middle, to someone on the half turn.
Jules must think xmas came early and I’ve even started checking for signs of reindeer, cleaned my chimney and leave a carrot out most nights. |  |

He has started the season well, his striking of the ball is excellent and gives us an edge from the back. JCS & Dunne look very comfortable with him as well when they receive the ball.
The worry I have is that he is 'tiny' for a goalkeeper these days (or he looks tiny). | | | |

I’d have thought man to man marking will get stepped up, rather than pressing, as opposition wise up. |  | | |

I'm worried we will rely on him far too much and not have a plan B.
He's not ours and most likely won't be next season. Whoever takes over (Ward) is going to not be as good for that particular attribute.
An absolute unicorn of a goalkeeper. |  |

Starting to think this Kid could have a Taarabt level of influence on this team.
Like Taarabt he is a very unique type of player with exceptional skills that fundamentally changes the way we play and how other teams deal with us. Essentially he's a cheat code. A keeper and a prime Beckenbauer Sweeper Playmaker who can never play the opposition onside. With the ball it's essentially giving us 12 men on the pitch, full backs move into midfield, centre backs move into full back areas as we saw yesterday with Dunne. It's allowed us to dominate every game this season so far because we always have that one extra man. If teams try to press he goes over or through them. If they sit off we out number them. I mean you have to hand it to Stephan he's worked out tactics to make the most of this unique talent.
Need the strikers firing though, like the Warnock season you still need a really good team and set of players to maximise the opportunity |  | | |

So wish we had an option to buy....he clearly loves it here based on his post-match interview yesterday. |  |

I recall that it was mentioned somewhere that he played midfield at a younger age.
I notice that, unchallenged, his distribution is work-class, but when charged down properly, it becomes like a normal keeper's passing range.
He did an excellent save yesterday, and also having Dunne win almost everything in the air helped him greatly.
I am now convinced we need a replacement sub for Dunne in case he gets injured or suspended.
As for Charles going back at the end of the season, this gives us a year to find a player as close as possible to him, if he does indeed become crucial to the way we play. |  |

I don't think we could find another like him. We did sign Callum Ward on a permanent. We need him to learn as much as he can from Charles in training etc. | | | |
