He’s a legend in his own head.
He had all the tools to be one of the best but there were a few technical issues in his game that he didn’t or wouldn’t rectify. He made some amazing saves but also so outlandish mistakes. That one vs Southampton where it went through his legs was such a basic mistake that should not be made for a prem keeper. Maybe he thought he was too good to work on his weaknesses but he was brutally exposed a number of times and he never seemingly worked on it. Which is either arrogance on his part or neglect of the coaching team.
He did have some great games for us and never really says anything too negative towards us in the press so I have no real ill feelings towards him but he could and should have achieved so much more than he did rather than scratching around the likes of Torino and Burnley and spurs on the subs bench.
I'm scanning this and can't help but feel it is a little contradictory.
When he left us his career was effectively over, for whatever reason his skills had deserted him, was it all the paper chat about him being superhyped and the way they went for him after the freekick goal?
He was never the same since he shagged that tart Jordan and all the super injunction stuff and no doubt the grief he will have been rightly getting from his Mrs.
All contributing factors, he should still be in his prime but he isn't but this does not detract from his time at City and what he did for us as we went from losers to winners, he was a major part of that.
All keepers make basic mistakes every so often even the worlds best make howlers that they wish they could forget
