Manchester United (h) Sat 14 Oct 12.30pm - Esse Quam Videri

Some people think it was a routine save.  Fair enough.

 

I think it was a brilliant, match-saving save... which if it had've deflected off his leg and gone into the net, would have been totally excusable.  In my opinion.

 

I thought Matip caught it about as sweetly as anyone could.  It was close-range, quick and curling away from the keeper.  I think it was top drawer keeping.  

 

That doesn't make him Gordon Banks, or Ray Clemence or Peter Shilton.

 

Credit where it's due to the individual.  It was the most influential moment in the match - ironically, closely followed by Salah fluffing the rebound... which he should have scored.  

 

That's football.

Was a match containing that save really last on match of the day? They could have just showed that gif for 5 minutes.

 

Why is a goal the only good action in football these days?

De Gea is something of a freak with his reflexes but he doesn't command the box or sweep as well as Neuer or Lloris. Regardless, him and Donnarumma are going to be the two dominant keepers over the next decade. Hopefully De Gea signs for Real Madrid and Donnarumma stays at Milan instead of switching to Juventus to maintain some competition in Serie A.

I know it's fantasy, that was the point of "if I could choose anyone". 

 

I don't think Oblak is out of reach, though.  Aim high.

 

 

I'd be on cloud nine if we ever got Oblak.

Cloudy with meatballs.

He's like every other goalkeeper in this medocre league: capable of the odd decent game and also capable of absolute fuck ups. You can think that he's Gordon Bamks and Ray Clemence combined but for me he's one of a herd.

 

.

Yeah,Mignolet definitely is. De Gea is obviously a cut above. If you deny it you just look silly. Maybe not THE best but one of them.

I think Courtois is better than all of them.

[Evelyn Tentions]

FA ,by its inaction, endorses Lukakus thuggery and Shitcoats methods of turning good players into hackers and cheats.

Croats, Serbs, FYROMs, Montenegrins and Bosnia-Hercegovians would fully appreciate the pun too.

 

A bit like that lad "Popivoda", whose namesake recently crossed from Leicester to Chelsea.

[TheBitch]

Really want Cartman now.
