I agree there, Im watching United ATM and Valdes struggled with a cross earlier which I attributed to the Spanish league not really being as physically tough on keepers and more than likely having to deal with a considerable amount of fewer crosses. I can count on one hand the amount of times...
Yeah Begovic is a great keeper too, Im not quite sure he would be ranked in the world class level quite yet, he definetly has the potential to though.
I still disagree with Casilas though, I think he also had great distribution as well as shot stopping ability. But I do agree that Lloris could...
Im always in the goalkeeper union being an ex keeper.
But at one point he was one of the best keepers/shot stoppers in the world, no doubt about it. He wasn't 'protected' by his defenders. He has seriously declined now, it started when Jose came had that big fall out with him and was it Ramos...
