Petr Cech

[Kieran. 6,317]

The Mancs are having a good time with his injuries.

What a disgrace.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Yes, that was him in training for the Czech Republic today.

It has to be a fake... he is still wearing the 2011 response pro allrounds for club and country.

Hi all, regards from Milan. If everything is okay, I will look as you can see above during the Friday's match. This is the first photo of my new mask, so I'm sending it to you all. Petr

[Milan 17,835]

If you ask me - LEGEND, a true of its kind.

Wonder if he'll have to wear that mask till the end of his career like his helmet... I remember his helmet wasn't supposed to be permanent, but it has become.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

That'll just be for the next few weeks while his nose heals I presume. He might then wear it for a while after as protection.

The helmet is entirely precautionary. I remember he was only to due to wear it a couple of years, but after he had a bang on the head playing for the Czech Republic in late 2008 (I think it was against Belarus) he decided it would be best to wear it.

There is also the idea of it being a psychological form of protection. Since I injured my knee in 2004, I can't play in goal without a brace on my left knee, otherwise my brain just refuses to acknowledge any movement of the knee which would potentially damage it, ie. diving. Petr's helmet can therefore be a source of confidence for him, as part of some psychological attachment I can absolutely sympathise with.

Is the PC1 really necessary? It's a good job he's not still wearing the chin guard otherwise he might as well just be wearing a full crash helmet.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Three clean sheets in three games for club and country, Petr will take a lot of confidence from that and hopefully look to make it four from four at the weekend.

"There are false stories about Petr Cech leaving the club. We are trying to reach an agreement with Petr. He knows that we are trying to reach an agreement with him and that we are interested in renewing his contract."

"The goalkeeper position is very, very specific," Villas-Boas said, citing Edwin van der Sar and David Seaman as examples of keepers who have shone at the highest level during their fifth decade.

Question marks over Cech's fitness were actually raised by new team-mate Thibaut Courtois, who joined Chelsea from Genk this summer before being loaned out for the season to Atletico Madrid.

Cech, who has been the Blues' undisputed number one since signing from Rennes in 2004, is expected to face a stiff challenge from the 19-year-old in the coming years.

Sorry, been meaning to say it after the Arse and Liverfail games.

I think it's also because Czech Republic won't insure him without the helmet. I read that somewhere.

I can't remember what he did wrong against scumpool. Though I totally agree about his performance against Arsenal.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Statistically Petr Cech is the 2nd worst keeper in the league this season.

[Kostas 1,468]

I did expect him to be way behind the top keepers of the league but not 2nd to last. As always, stats do not tell the full story but Petr has this season at times been well below what is required of a keeper at a top club.
