Only one games worth of footage but someone did a breakdown on him
It's a small sample, but some of that playing out from the back would give me a hernia! That said, still highly rated. Elevate him to the first team and have him serve his apprenticeship like Sail has done.
I'd like to think this is what will happen, but I guess we'll see how contract extension talks pan out.
From what I’ve seen of Paulsen he’s a decent prospect but he certainly would not be ready for A League, and has issues occasionally when distributing both short and long. For example his short range distribution cost him a goal against Brazil at the U17s, and also more recently against Hawkes Bay where played straight to Akers who then subsequently scored into the open goal. He does position himself well and make solid saves, but has also been guilty of conceding softly on occasion too.
I think staying in the reserves would be best where the mistakes like that can be ironed out, and if worst case scenario happens (both Sail and Marinovic don’t renew I’d like the Phoenix to take a good look at Cam Brown, I reckon he’s the best keeper in the country atm, positions himself well and a decent distributor for his level, is athletic in the same way Marinovic is, albeit less imposing, but I still reckon he’s a very solid keeper.
