Thought Pants had a superb game today.
His dominance in the air was excellent. He seemed to be in the right position to catch everything. Ok, the goal conceded wasn't great but he was perfectly positioned to parry that rocket header from what..2 yards?
Also, his distribution was first class. lovely flowing throws to start the attacks or calmness in holding back before a nice roll out to the defender.
Finally, although our team performance was below par, I get the feeling the defence seems more comfortable with Pants in the goal. Don't remember him having to make too many saves from Blackburn strikes in front of goal.
Ok.. I'm still not convinced about the big games and his relationship with the back four there as he hasn't played in any of these big games (bar Arsenal which each of the three Arsenal goals were exceptional and no fault of Pants), but i think a lot of posters have been unkind in his performance or not trusting of him. On footballing terms, really don't know why posters don't like him.
