at the moment he has no confidence. i know he is a very good keeper but people in england overrate him big time. he is an excellent shot stopper as we saw against dortmund but he scares me when he comes out for a high ball. of course he is not the best keeper in the world, he is very good but neuer, casillas and buffon are better than him. i honestly think that if mignolet or begovic were english there would be the same hype about them too. i hope joe regains his confidence as soon as possible because he is a really important player for us.
he certainly isnt low in confidence....the vast majority of goals he has let in this season have been flukes/great goals/deflections.
He certainly is. For me goals like sunderland's, van persie's (depsite the deflection it was his covered corner) and benzema's goal at the etihad (even me would come out and pick the ball) and a few others are non acceptable for a keeper of his class. I'm not worried though because all great players have bad spells. the same happened with vinnie and he is back, same with yaya and i believe he has shown a big improvement in the last games, same with aguero (exceptional yesterday). People saying we should buy a good goalkeeper for competition are wrong for me. neuer has no competition, neither casillas, nor buffon.
