Heurelho Gomes

[Bold Seagull]

He's quality….

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

On his day he can very good, but generally is ordinary.

Learn to read I never said that I said Dunk probably assumed he was nearer to him.

Dunk assumed nothing of the sort. He just misjudged the header and failed to get any meaningful contact on the ball. You are really clutching at straws now.

How do you know what he thought? Had he thought otherwise I am sure he would have put extra beef on it to make sure it reached him, he has been around a while now and is not an untried 17 year old.

According the Ledley King


Gomes is the best keeper he has ever played with or against......lolz

You could start an argument in an empty room.

I've not seen much of the DS this season unfortunately. Does the keeper in those games rush out to collect soft back headers that travel two yards from a defender on the edge of the box under no pressure?

No such thing because if I was in it, to start the argument, it wouldnt be empty.

 

[bennibenj]

No, its because your bias against our keeper prevents you from having any intelligent thought on the matter. How can you possibly suggest in the very same sentence, that our style is 'gung-ho' but that Stockdale is protected by defensive midfielders. So tedious.

Im sorry but I think this is wrong - Has this guy ever had a single intelligent thought

It looked to me, being nearly in line in the ESU, that he didnt get any beef on it. He attempted th glance it back to Stockie, but totally missed it.
As for saying that Stockie threw himself at it and hoped, what a totaly stupid, even for you, statement.
Have you been in Wetherspoons this afternoon and had one too many?

What else could he do it was an instantaneous reaction he didnt have time to think what he might do or not do.

There you go.

Exactly.
Doesn't any goalkeeper throw himself and hope, when he is in a one on one,with the forward bearing down on goal. He hasn't got many other options. All he can do is make himself big and hope he blocks it, which he did.
Your original post suggested, that he was extremely fortunate to make the save, but then you do seem tohave an agenda with Stockdale.

 

[BensGrandad]

Dont get me wrong it earnt us a point but I do not consider a desperate throw yourself at the ball/player as good a save as Marshall performed diving towards his post to push a shot around the post, that to me is a good save. Or getting up and tipping a shot over the bar that to me is the signa of a good keeper. Henderson or Smith cvould throw themselves at a one on one and the ball hit them did it make them a good keeper.

So if he had a stayed on his line, and Pilkington had a free shot, and if he had managed to get down and pushed it around the post, or tipped it over the bar, then it would be a good save.
But he closed down the gap and blocked the shot and he was lucky. Priceless.

In what sense?

The Alanis Morissette sense.

he didnt close the gap he just threw himself at the ball in a do or die effort. He didnyt have time to close the gap as you put it. Instinct told him to charge the ball down, which he did

I'm glad we have a keeper with such good instincts. It's a good skill to have.

It is taught from day 1 so yes it is. Lets hope he is back to his Ipswich and Blackpool game standard.

Whoops. Ignore.
