🇨🇿 Petr Cech

[CHOULO19 24,332]

This made me laugh:

Jose about the save from Sissoko: "I think when keepers make a save like that they should jump and celebrate and slide on their knees because that was a goal."

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Petr Cech has saved 27 out of the last 30 shots on target registered against his goal in the Premier League - a 90% save success rate.

Such a legend of our club. We should put up a statue when he retires. Fantastic.

Had a nightmare last 15 or so minutes. Hesitant on a few occasions. The miscommunication from him & Luiz, for the goal was just awful.

Huh? Were you in both heads and there to hear what was going on?

The goal was simply a product of great effort by WBA and an awesome cross. I cannot see how it was a result of poor communication between Luiz and Cech because it happened so fast.

But please do explain your reasoning.

It was not a miss-communication, Cech had to take a step forward in case everyone misses the ball, but he could not do anything about that. It was a great cross which is no surprise considering that the crosser had all the time and space in the world, and Anichibe just beat Luiz to it. Petr couldn't do anything.

Looked as if Petr came out for the ball then completely stopped, while Luiz lost his man. Will have to see it again.

Exactly what happened. Both Cech and Luiz are at fault, Cech for hesitating (you're always beaten coming off your line like that without going for the ball) and Luiz for losing the challenge.

Glad people are realising that if Cech comes out for this, it isn't a goal. Luiz should've stayed on Anichebe for sure but Cech stopping when the ball was mid-flight was equally as bad.

Cech was never going to get to that ball ahead of Anichibe unless Anichibe stopped. The cross is a great one becasue it was bent away from Petr, his step forward was in case Anichibe missed it. There is absolutely nothing Petr could have done to prevent that.

Having watched the goal a few times it looked like Cech stopped, he should've at least made an attempt to go for the ball.

I'll have to watch it again to see whether what you're saying is correct, but from what I saw I though Cech should've either made the decision to stay on his line or to attempt to go for the ball. He did neither.

Cech should've come for the ball, but how the fuck Anichebe gets in front of Luiz I don't know.

yeah, his play wasn't great, but the cross was really good.

I've learned over the years that when a GK leaves the goal to intercept the football he should be damn sure to finish the job because if he misses it, the goal will be exposed.

Still, we were just too shitty in the last 20 minutes to want anything other than what we got.

The earth is round.

One plus one equals two.

If you drop a pen it falls due to gravity.

Did you know THAT?

The reverse angle from in front of the goal clearly shows that he wasn't getting there ahead of Anichibe. Maybe he should have stayed on his line, but he wouldn't have saved it on any account.

Thanks for the link mate.

You're right in saying Victor was going to get there before him but I think had Cech put any sort of pressure on him instead of just stopping that he would've probably just done enough to put him off and Anichebe would've probably missed the target.

I think it's Cech's old injury cropping up and costing us a goal.

If you look carefully you can see David Luiz blowing really hard at Anichebe. Cech was probably worried about getting caught in the crosswind and ending up headfirst in the stands.

Really we may have lost two points but at least no-one got hurt.

Maybe, but then he would run the risk of giving away a pen if he blocks off Anichibe and doesn't get the ball and he'd be in no position to do anything if Anichibe missed the ball. Plus, we all know that Petr has been reluctant to get into collisions since his injury.

Honestly, Cech is probably the least culprit for that goal after Iva not blocking the cross at least pressurizing the crosser, Luiz losing Anichibe and even Garry Cahill's positioning (Although, I don't really blame him, he was limping with an injury).

Which is fair enough.

Regarding Cahill, I do think Mou could've perhaps taken him off for Cole and and put Ivanovic in the middle since he was struggling very badly. Hopefully Gary will be alright though.
