RM not playing well doesn't change the fact that i rate Casillas as the best currently; not one of the best....The Best
The fact that we are 3rd and 5 pts of the leaders despite playing like a mid table team is because of him. While some may heap praise on a GK when he pulls off an amazing safe in a match, I have seen Casillas pull off 3-5 world class saves in a match week in week out like it was a normal day in the office. If there was a GK in the EPL who puts in that kind of performance every week he would have been hailed as godly by the English media tongue.gif

no offence la but i think u are really harsh on EPL keepers. i mean, i think every one sees the immense talent that CASILLAS (correct spelling now tongue.gif doh.gif) but to say that EPL keepers arent able to pull off 3-5 super saves per match is not the keepers' fault. i mean, madrid are in a situation where the defenders leave him out to dry but Cech and other great keepers make super saves when called upon. i mean, how many times do we see Cech really need to go out and make super stops compared to Casillas. having said that, Casillas really has been the best for quite a while. shocking.gif

If Buffon isn't World Class, which current keeper do you reckon is?
*
reasons why buffon isnt world class

1) no one watches serie A
2) he makes too little saves in comparison to cassilas or casillas or whatever his damned name is
3) not spectacular enough
4) dammit he plays for italy, they barely let teams have a shot, let alone having buffon save them

Well Ben Foster, Paddy Kenny, Scott Carson, Chris Kirkland, John Filan, Roy Carrol, Robert Green and Anti Niemi have all been more busy than Petr Cech or Edwin Van Der Sar, does that make them better? tongue.gif

WRONG!!!

Kirkland and Carroll have been injured or on the bench tongue.gif

Foster? Isn't that why he has been said to have a stunning season making all those saves?

And when he was signed, they said he had a great penalty saving record brows.gif

Well...our back 4 isn't as bad as ppl think actually...the English media likes to underrate our defending. Even Barca ain't that solid defensively but u don't see Valdes' name being thrown ard as one of the best whistling.gif

Madrid-bad defending superb saves
Barce-bad defending, blunders from Victor Valdes

oh come on, not that i hav something against u or wanna offend u, but frankly speaking i think for someone to get piss-off by that line is juz kinda narrow-minded. not that i had dished out a truck load of insults to MU or what.

n i never say anything abt Italians are the best, bla bla bla... did i ever said that ? even if i did said that, that will b my own opinion. whats the difference with many who claim that someone in their team is the best of something ?

well lets get over it shall we ? this 'debate' is really unnecessary.  biggrin.gif

i actually think Barthez had a purple patch in his career (for France and his first 2 seasons at MU) then it was gone. so world class is over a period of time laugh.gif

Don't worry you're not the only one. I share your opinion. But I'm happy he joined the EPL. He did provide comic relief biggrin.gif

At our expense. sad.gif
anyway even i am glad that idiot got the boot out. it was long overdue. the gift to henry was the end of his manutd career for me.

Up until today, I'm probably the only person I know that is wondering how Barthez was nominated goalkeeper of the tournament back then. I have always had a fascination for goalkeepers and pay particular attention to them. I remember Barthez playing behind an excellent back four and the only reason I can imagine he won the accolade, was because he conceded the least amount of goals, if I remember correctly. Much of it though was down to the defenders. I mean no offence to Man Utd supporters, but I've always thought of him as just an average goalkeeper. Well maybe a little above average, but definitely overrated by many. That's just my opinion.

he made spectacluar saves. i mean he made saves look spectacular. we always like seeing those kinda saves. laugh.gif icon_rolleyes.gif
