Voinjama Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 The "flappyanski" tag is harsh on him because he's decent at claiming balls from crosses. It's hard as a keeper to get straight back into it when you've only played cup games for your entire career. It was that performance against against Wigan 3 or 4 seasons ago which put Arsenal out of the title race when they were 2-0 up and lost. Paul Merson used the term then. It has stuck since. A few shaky performances haven't helped shift the tag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 As I said, it's hard to be on form as as goalkeeper when you barely play. When he started to play between February and March last season he was really good. A couple of Arsenal fans I know didn't want Szczesny to come back in after.

Dodgyknees Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 The top few clubs spending gazillions again. Just going to make the gap between them and the rest even bigger. And more boring. Yep and it'll just keep growing thanks to FFP. What is the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Lloris is great. Neuer is better. Courtois a close third currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) De Gea is also a very very good goalkeeper. Edited July 22, 2014 by Avfc96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voinjama Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Regarding Ochoa I confess to knowing absolutely nothing about him and I had never heard of him before the Mexico Cameroon game. But his performances in 3 of Mexico's 4 games were up there with the best goalkeeping performances I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightysasquatch Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I think the vast majority of prem/championship keepers are good shot stoppers. Claiming crosses seems to of become more of a niche skill as with the new balls & how they move it's turned a lot of keeps into line huggers.

ArteSuave Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Ochoa put in one of the greatest keeping performances I've ever seen live against PSG last season. It was **** ridiculous. He was underrated pre World Cup IMO and will go to a CL club this Summer. I agree with sasquatch that catching crosses in a crowded box separates the men from the boys nowadays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 cant see him being successful, he's done really poorly since breaking through, promoted too young IMO missed out on a couple of years with pep in the B team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Bojan's goalscoring record is pretty atrocious. Ajax chose not to have him on loan for another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
