Styles 9,790 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I think people are looking at shot stopping alone. Distribution, claiming crosses, controlling your defence is just as important as good shot stopping ability. For instance, Mignolet is a HORRIBLE goalkeeper, but he's one of the best shot stoppers in EuropeIt's the same reason a clown like Casillas was so highly rated at one point. I've always considered him an overrated fraud of a keeper. Madmax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodZola 630 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Petr has shown his class by not throwing his toys out of the pram, privately he must be disappointed with losing his place but he is showing his character by staying and fighting to get his place back though it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest to see him leave in January, think he'll review his options then.For me the best keeper in the Prem by a country mile was the Cardiff keeper (Marshall I think?) The boy was outstanding for them last season so he gets my vote, as for top in the world? Difficult to assess, however we have 2 of them and thats all that matters, most believe Neuer, decent choice but watching him play in the WC for Germany he would scare the fuck out of me if he played for us as whilst I like keepers to play as an unorthodox sweeper he cuts a very fine line, as he tends to stand so far out most of the time, I would be telling my players to look at his position during games and take a chance to lob him. Hart would of been in my list of top 5 but he has lost his way in the last season or so, still young enough to recapture the form that got him to where he is but another mistake at the weekend could see him dropped for City's next game. iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 This international duty could really benefit for Cech, Salah, Christensen and any other player who didn't get much game time. Good for them, as long as they can avoid any injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence, lobbing him isn't as easy as it sounds. But I agree the way he plays can give people heart attacks. For me Neuer, Cech and Courtois are pretty even in basic goalkeeping abilities and shot stopping. You could argue that Neuer has better reflexes, Courtois is better in the air etc. The difference isn't extremely obvious though. But it's in what else Neuer offers that makes him stand out above our 2 keepers. He does his basic job right and is very competent with his feet. When chasing a game he can add pressure too by allowing the team to push up and he adds an extra man in attack. I don't think Cech and Courtois can offer that.
