He had a big game yesterday. Fair enough he only really had two saves of note to make (and even Cazorla's stinger was at a comfortable height for him), but his handling and positioning were absolutely fantastic. Always a positive to see a confident goalkeeper, the way he caught everything or at least punched it clear was such a morale-boosting sight for the defence.

I was basically about to say the same thing. He was like a footballing air traffic controller.

An interesting article...http://www.whoscored.com/Blog/cn_uyjpro0sf1kw2s_rvzg/Show/Player-Focus-Goalkeepers-Save-Success-Rates

Not much of a surprise. Cech has been one of the top goalies in the world for almost a decade and has shown no signs of slowing down. (The stat itself is hardly perfect. Not all shots on goal are equal. Some teams, like Spurs, allow almost all their shots from inside the box. Other teams will stifle opponents and force them to take long shots which any keeper should save. Still, it is some indication of quality and in this case the statistical analysis and the eye test are in perfect agreement: Cech is great.)

For me its normal, we prefer to talk about players that are not playing well, Petr is the best goalkeeper in the history of the club, and one of the best GK in the world, he is a perfect player, as professionnal as Lamps.So we just post 'Petr had a great match' or 'Will petr be the player of the year'

I know, only a comment! :)

I remember in the old Petr Cech thread... when he went through a bad spell in 08/09 people were saying he was a spent force and we needed to buy a new goalkeeper. I believe my exact words were to call them "unintelligible buffoons" and that he would soon be back to his best. Fact is, he's the best goalkeeper this club will ever have, and the best the Premier League has even seen. Fuck Schmichael, Cech is on another level.

Cech is top3 in the world right now...and has been for a while imho.
