Has Neuer fallen off?

 

idk If anyone is better than Mendy as a pure GK, but guys like Ederson, Alisson, and Ter Stegen are very valuable for their ability on the ball. 
 

i wouldn’t take Oblak or Courtois over Mendy.
 

 

I dont give a fuck if a goalie can pass a ball tbh. Mendy is a great shot stopper regardless of range and also very commanding in the box.

Neuer is still absolute world class. i don't like the guy, he is a psycho and an arrogrant egomaniac but he is still one of the top 5 goalies in the world and his abilities have not really declined too much. He is probably as good a shot stopper as Mendy still but better with his feet. Based on his performances in the 2 seasons prior to last, i would have Alisson as best goalie but i have not seen as much of him last season so i might be wrong. Ter Stegen is a bit overrated imo. He is capable of the most spectacular saves but he makes unusually many stupid errors for a WC goalie.

the main talk (at least from me) was about a better backup as Mendy goes to that fucking AFCON bollocks for a month or so

but we are stuck with Kepa

 

 

 

Kepa had a horrible second season under Lampard, but last season he showed he could be counted on when he is needed. Decent backup IMO.

Who should we sign for second choice GK? World class GK won't accept substitute role.. Looking at our rivals' men - Steffen, Kelleher, Henderson - they are not doing better in this area.

Kepa is our backup keeper until and if we sell him

hopefully Marcus Bettinelli is a decent 3rd keeper

and, lolol

he is ANOTHER 29yo keeper born in 1992

it really is crazy

the only thing worrying me about GKer is that fucking AFCON month off shite for Mendy

crazy that he is not the starting French keeper by now, but he went for a sure play thing with Senegal

 

Bettinelli is a big unit btw, almost as big as Cech

Méndys first appearance for Senegal was in 2018, at the age of 26, when he was playig in Reims in League 2. Can't blame him he was not expecting call-up from Deschamps...

 

It's gonna be a tough couple of weeks without him and Ziyech, but Liverpool will be hit much harder with Salahs, Manés and Naby Keitas absence.

and comes back covid positive, which would take him out for another couple of weeks at least. ☹️

Dunno what's worse, AFCON or Copa America. I guess the latter at least has Argentina and Brazil, but it's just as poorly organized.

He retired from national duty. In any case they are well stocked at CB anyway.

Cameroon's coach tried to recall him, so I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't accept the change for AFCON. 

Also, their CB situation could be very different in 3 months.

10/10 performance. The perfect shot stopper.

[Tomo 21,733]

Best keeper in the world.

Where are those people who said we should sell Mendy?

I've been arguing with people who genuinely think Kepa will be winning his place back.
