Ipswich Town's goalkeeping woes continue, with Kjell Scherpen struggling in his Premier League debut. The BBC rated his performance with a 4, stating that he made a disastrous mistake at the early goal of Alexander Isak. Sky Sports shared the same opinion, saying that Isak profited twice from Scherpen's mediocre goalkeeping.
The club's struggles in goal are nothing new, with Ipswich using four different keepers in less than two years. Arijanet Muric was brought in as a reliable force two years ago, but his season was marked by costly mistakes. He lost his place to Christian Walton, who was injured in 2025. Muric failed to impress afterwards, and Ipswich signed Alex Palmer from West Bromwich Albion in the winter transfer window. This summer, the club invested heavily in their goalkeeping department, signing Kayne van Oevelen from Volendam, who was immediately loaned out to Valencia.
The club's goalkeeping woes are far from over, with Scherpen now facing a nightmare scenario.
