Dudek...

[Mark P]

Going over old ground here, but he was not good again last night...inspired no confidence whatsoever and he was nowhere when they hit the bar.

but must have pictures of rafas wife.

get kirkland back in, or if your spanish goalkeeping coach "doesnt rate english keepers" (its true) then buy someone.

Kirkland should be playing every game he's fit for from here on in, if only to keep his confidence up. He's the future between the sticks.

What's all this "don't rate Englich keepers" business? Is this the same guy who pre-season said that only Seaman was a good English keeper?

[fivetimes]

yup. seaman went on so long "because he was brave and clever. most english goalies arent".

 

great.

[Nunavut Patrick]

Seaman was very brave-any 'keeper who'd step between the posts after Zaragoza CWC fiasco is brave in my books.

[Juan Galonso]

Don't forget Ronaldinho, the silly old twat should have quit after that. Did he really think he looked cool with that pony-tail. I remember Dave U sayin to me the scariest thought he ever had was Seaman taking his bobble out and looking at himself in the mirror with his hair down and flicking his head.

 

EEEUURRRGGH!!

 

I am scarred for life.

I tried not to picture it, but I did.

 

...then he reaches for the brill cream. argh!!!

So which game will that be?

[Brownie]

I never thought i'd ever say it but Jerzy is a clown.

[Stu Monty]

Weak on the goal, Weak with distribution, Weak on the one that hit the bar (Carra clearly looks behind him so he got a shout). Just very fucking weak.

[danhaddad]

Communication.

 

 

Dudek does not enter into any of this with his back four. This does not inspire confidence and makes for a nervy back line.

 

Bring back Kirky asap, so a genuine understanding between keeper and defence can be established.

[Nunavut Patrick]

I thought Norwhich would have been a good game to ease CK back into it. I hope Rafa is nogt waiting for a complete jackass blunder to have his mind made up. Jerzy is skittish, and the las thting you want is a skittish keeper. Red nosed Rudophs, gambling looney Groobelaars- sure, but skittish and non-communicative? He's not even good cover for Kirkland.

[Paul]

I also thought at the time that a taller keeper might have saved it. Dudek just doesn't dominate his area and I've never seen a class keeper that can get away without doing so.
