Liverpool Goalkeepers

[Jim D]

Why is it every goalkeeper who has played for the club recently always seem to crumble after having an outstanding first season.

 

James lost the plot

Friedel lost the plot

Westerveld lost the plot

Dudek lost the plot

Reina seemingly loosing the plot

 

Why does it happen to us?

SACK CORRIGAN!

Reina had dodgy spells in Spain, it shouldn't be a surprise. All keepers have them, given the right support (in the ground) and help from the coaching staff he'll be back to his best soon enough.

[Guest TanMan]

Simple solution, sign a new keeper every season

[Maldini]

Why are people always so eager to write off our players?

Why are people always so eager to write off our players?

because it can be done without thinking, like tabloid headlines.

[Nebraska Red]

and it's always easier to blame one player, ie, the keeper, than to look into things further and wonder how many outfield players screwed up to let the ball get near the goal.

 

think about it, how many times has Reina played behind the same back 4 this season?

 

if he's not sure about the players in front of him, he will take risks and will screw up occasionally.

[Lark]

doesnt excuse from dropping easy catches - flapping/punching at crosses - poor kick outs - ya know routine stuff for keepers.

[Maldini]

He kept 33 clean sheets last season and now two months into the season he has "lost the plot"

 

People are just getting hysterical looking for someone to blame.

[chrisbonnie]

i personally still back Reina 100%

 

but we have had a thing for signing international number 2 goal keepers, why didnt we ever just buy the number 1???

[Maldini]

Dudek was #1

[Rushian]

And if the international team in question has the best two keepers in the world?

[Rimbeux]

Dudek was #1

 

 

I think it was a nod to history

[Spike]

Might just be me but last year Pepe seemed to very vocally dominant - shouting at players etc. I remember posting about how pleasant it was to see at the time, and how when I was a defender a vocal goalie was like having a fifth player across your back 4.

 

Dunno if, and this seems to come across a lot, that Pepe now gets on really well with the rest of the team and perhaps isn't being the nasty b*****d he was?

[Maldini]

Clemence and Westerveld are the only two who could be in that category IMO and Clemence is probably our best ever (and was #1 or joint #1 for years)

[madaboutlfc]

that joke of a defence doesnt help.. pepes faults have a lot to do with that

[SkippyjonJones]

I'm not hysterical. I'm just blaming you.

 

[Guest Kev]

Single Reina = Best Spanish Keeper

Married Reina = Dodgy Spanish Keeper (at the moment)

 

SACK MRS REINA

 

[Ramón Benítez Hernández]

Brucie was number 1.

[Rimbeux]

Hence why I thought it was a joke

[Gilps]

I'd like to think with any player we bring in we're looking at their performance with their club each week, not worrying about where they stand in the pecking order with their international team.

[Mike]

reina was shocking in that last 15 last night.

genuinely think he should be dropped...but for who?

[Guest Anders Honoré]

He kept 33 clean sheets last season and now two months into the season he has "lost the plot"

 

People are just getting hysterical looking for someone to blame.

 

I don't think it is hysterical to say he has lost the plot. He is clearly not playing like he did last season.

 

Being hysterical would be to despair and say we should get rid and start looking for a new goalkeeper.

 

Sort it out, pepe.

[smicer07]

Our keepers go s*** because fans start getting on their backs if they make any sort of mistake.

[fred milne]

Does anyone have a link that shows the goals we conceded?
