borsuk makes a good point, Kuz hasn't done much wrong to warrant being a goat. I think the problem is he looks and acts nervous. You never like to see a keeper exploding with nervous energy. His eyes always look like they're going to pop out. Other than when he's yelling at his back four, Edwin looks like he just took a huge drag from this: |

I worry about the game on Saturday full-stop.
We need to get a couple of early goals to settle everything down...but I've got that worrying feeling we'll start with the 'European Walking Pace'..always suicidal when we do that. A high tempo & a masterclass from Ronaldo & Rooney would be nice. Bolton worry me because they're playing so badly at the minute...& we're shite at set pieces...It's the sort of game that could kick us in the %@#$&!s. |

Bolton were worrying folk earlier in the season too and we took them to the cleaners. Same concerns too, we don't look good at set pieces (never have been etc), they're a physical bunch etc.
We'll miss Saha on Saturday. His pace would have pulled their fairly slow defence all over the shop and allowed Ronnie and Rooney some space. I suspect it won't be a vintage performance and a 1-1 draw to boot. |

If you can't see that Barthez was a quality goalkeeper then there's something wrong with you. He had the personality. He was just too prone to errors, too small and never recovered from that nightmare spell. My general point is that plenty of goalkeepers have the ability, but it's about so much more than that. |

This
Mr. Mxyzpltlk GNev Rio Vidic Gaby Park Carrick O'Shea Giggs Rooney Ronaldo would be the best case scenario that I can think of. Even if it does contain Park, who will be bullied off everything. But there's nobody else. Even Fletcher would be handy to have available right now. This Mr. Mxyzpltlk GNev Rio Vidic Gaby Ronaldo Carrick Giggs O'Shea Rooney Smith is almost certainly what we'll get, though. A stronger line-up, but an easier one for Bolton to contend with. |

Stuff like that. He was a character and liked the big stage. It was just one error too far for him. Look, I'm not a massive Barthez fan and I don't want the thread to deviate into a discussion with you about him. My point was that he had the type of personality to succeed here. For a while he was the best keeper since Schmeichel. This was due to his character and experience as much as anything else. Many goalkeepers have gone before and since who have had more natural and technical ability, but not the bottle. That's what seperates the good from the great. All premiership goalkeepers are decent shot stoppers - I hate it when people describe keepers as good shot stoppers. They all are. That's the fundamental element to their job. The difference is the subtle elements. Positioning, organisation etc. This breeds confidence throughout the team. Ben Foster breeds confidence at Watford because he makes save after save. At United he won't be required to do that. He'll be required to stay sharp, organise a defence of high profile & experienced players and rise to the big stage. There's only one way we'll find out if he can do that. I really hope he can. |
