BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Couple of decent saves yesterday. The one from vdV was admittedly straight at him but he reacted well as he saw it very late, through a crowd of players. Also, Cahill looked like he was doing his best to impede him! Good save at the end from Bale's free-kick. Any goalkeeper will admit their biggest fear is the ball dipping and bouncing in the six yard box as there is so little time to react. He did the right thing in palming it behind. He also made a good decision to come out when Adebayor went through, coming out so quick made Adebayor take a bigger touch around him, allowing Cahill the chance to get back. Good goalkeeping.

Good goalkeeping.At first I was afraid Petr was about to knock him down which would mean a sending-off. That would be really pointless. So as you said, very good goalkeeping.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Yes he looked like he realised he was out of his area and just decided to stay tall and force Adebayor wide. Very sensible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Just goes to back up my point that a goalkeeper is only as good as his defence. If we defend as well as we have in the last two games and continue to do so until the end of the season, we'll get another 5-7 clean sheets. francozola and Kieran. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Good point, but I don't like when he sometimes just gives up on shots. For example, in the City game - early on when Nasri hit the bar with that dinked shot kinda thing? He just gave up on it. Then when it rebounded off the bar he had to suddenly rush into action. I guess I'm being picky but he does this rather frequently and it gets on my nerves when it happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well who gave you the info then? Someone from the club? But it's hush-hush territory according to your report itself, remember?Journalists are the bane of the written word form.

I guess I'm being picky but he does this rather frequently and it gets on my nerves when it happensI do exactly the same. There are shots you know you won't save. A goalkeeper who knows his limitations is better than one who doesn't.I know I'm being ridiculously pro-Cech because he's my favourite player, but sometimes you just have to accept he won't be able to save certain shots. In fairness, when he fucks up I'm his harshest critic so I'd like to think I'm definitely a good judge of him as a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I can't believe if he wanted to replace Cech... Cech is still 1 of the best....To be fair,he wasn't really sublime under AVB.I remember him cocking up against Wigan and against another few teams before that game.The defense wasn't great either but those goals which we conceded could have been stopped and Cech did confess about this matter.At the moment,he is doing very well,although he did make a stupid error against Benfica,I am sure he will learn from such experiences and make sure he won't commit the same mistakes.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Yup, he hasn't had his best season, but he's still easily in the top three keepers in the EPL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 He made the save of the season yesterday from Puyol's header. I think his saves are very underrated beacause he makes it all look so easy!Post match interview: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
