Reina vs Casillas

[Gary Mac Legend]

Have been having this argument with my brother near enough every time Spain play. Try and limit the bias, who do you think is the better all round Goalkeeper.

 

I genuinely believe Reina is the better all round keeper, Casillas is the better shot stopper, however I believe Reina's distribution is superior, he's better at 1 on 1 situations, penalties, I think Casillas is dreadful at collecting corners and deliveries and finally I believe Pepe's less error prone.

[The Dude Abides]

Gee, i wonder who will win this.

[zigackly]

How can I limit the bias? I love the big baldy leg. That is all.

Reina no question, Casillas is a class sot stopper but a bit of a flapper, i think its criminal that Reina is his understudy.

[Irishlad]

Casillas has had a bit of dodgy tournament but there is no denying he is the best keeper in the world. Probably the only keeper better then pepe.

Really? I've thought he's looked pretty average to poor at times this season. He's error prone no doubt as well,

I dunno mate i think he is number one because he plays for Real Madrid, he is a class keeper but IMO Pepe is superior, not bad options for Spain though,some panel they have when u can have Torres/Reina/Cesc on the bench, who would probably get into most teams in the world.

[Red Hot]

Pepe by a country mile!

For me, Reina is the best goalkeeper in the world at the moment and I can't see anybody rising to challenge him for a good while.

 

Let's erase this myth that Casillas isn't very good because he is a top, top keeper. I have seen him keep Real Madrid in so many games it's untrue. Fabulous shot stopper, and not afraid to come and get the ball. Commanding of the box is what makes keepers like Reina and Casillas as good as they are - any goalkeeper should be a good shotstopper, but if you can't deal with crosses (see Given, Shay) then you're neither use nor ornament.

 

What sets Reina aside from the rest at the moment for me is consistency. He is consistently excellent, week in and week out. I can count on one hand the number of mistakes he has made over the last 2 seasons. He has been, continues to be and will continue to be phenomenal, week in and week out. He is also excellent with his distribution, both with feet and hands. So is Casillas but I am fairly willing to bet Reina has set up more goals over the last 2 years than Casillas has in his career.

 

Casillas on the other hand is very prone to making clangers. I don't know if it's a concentration issue or what have you, but he makes serious mistakes from time to time, as has already been highlighted.

 

They're two seriously top, top goalkeepers, who I'll always remember as being amongst the best in the business during my lifetime, but for me Reina is clearly the better of the two at the moment, and the best in the world. But Casillas is captain - that's one of the many reasons he starts.

[lucozade]

I would say Pepe overall but I would have to say that Casillas was immense against Germany and it is a shame they are both in the same team

[RobbieOR]

Casillas is a top keeper but has been shit this season. If Del Bosque was picking players on form then Pepe would be number one, but he's not so its a mute point.

[Red Mist]

You can count the number of howlers Pepe has made on one hand. Casilias has been gaff-prone his entire career. Although he is the best shot stopper around, Pepe is easily the better all round 'keeper.

Dida. Now that was one shit cunt

If Pepe played for Real and Cassilas played for us then Pepe would be Spain's #1.

[Guest PurpleNose]

If Pepe played for Real and Cassilas played for us then Pepe would be Spain's #1.

 

If Manuel Almunia played for Real he'd be Spain's number one.

[B3n]

Casillas being captain and over 100 caps makes him quite hard to drop.

 

I'm glad we have Pepe over him, or any other 'keeper, though.

[Red Banjo]

Private poll? Boo!

 

Poor form that. Neggable i believe

[Paul]

I haven't seen anyone at the world cup who looks better.

All of this.

 

I'd also add Reina's reading of the game to his list of attributes, along with his speed for a goalie.

Pepe is the ultimate sweeper-keeper, the amount of times he anticipates situations is unreal, seems to go unnoticed a lot. He stops so many moves from ending up with him 1on1 against an attacker by having superb starting positions, reading the pass and snuffing out the danger.

 

Easily the best in the world.

[tenner]

Reina is better all round keeper, the best in the world in my opinion.

Fucking legend, will go down as the greatest keeper in our history

[Rafa_The_Gaffa]

Words cant describe how much I love the Spanish bald eagle. Deffo up there with clements & makes Banks, Shilton, Schmeichel, Casillas, Buffon & van der sar look like old fishwives who hang out the washing.
