100% this. A goalkeeper is paid to make saves, it's part of the job description. Yet some see it as a bonus. Just like a striker is paid to score goals, but we won't go there.
I agree with the old saying, "if your good enough, your old enough".....I'm not going to write Stockdale off just yet, although I think we have seen evidence why Fulham didn't want him around anymore. Any other position on the pitch and he would have surely been dropped or rested if you prefer...
