Don't think anyone has said he's lucky. In fact, I wrote above that he is a very good shot stopper. But there hasn't been a save that he's made today that I wouldn't expect almost any top level keeper to make. The fact that he's made a number of decent saves doesn't, to my mind, provide evidence that he's world class, or the best shot stopper in the country - only that their defence is awful.supercrystal7 said:It's what people said about Casilas. He was a 'lucky' goalkeeper as well. The ball just seemed to always hit him.bitsmith said:sh249 said:This. He is a very good shot stopper, but all the saves he's made today, he should have saved. The one from Balotelli looked spectacular, but you would back almost any top level keeper to make it. As an all-round goalkeeper, he's nowhere near as good as he is being made out to be. Not great with the ball at his feet, still shaky on crosses.
It's bullshit. The balls come straight to him because he is in good position for that. He is world class.
