I've never really been a fan of his but I thought he was superb yesterday. He made a few tricky saves where the ball took a bounce just in front him and yet he held on and, as such, prevented any potential tap-ins. Then there was his on-on-one which he just made look so routine it was incredible.
Show me an excellent keeper that ain't a nut-job and I'll show you an Irishman that ain't having a drink today
I'd love to see your face if it turns out he's leaving, you've been giving him a never ending rim-job for the past 4 months.
Artur has been amazing for us after the first time he played. Even you must accept that he is a good keeper.
I think he still has room for improvement. It seems many still don't fully recognize what is the calibre of the talent we're dealing with. For example, I guess few of you know that in 2008 he was shortlisted for FIFPro World XI Player Awards (the 45,000 professional footballers belonging to the 42 professional organisations across the world that form FIFPro received voting forms in a secret ballot to nominate their peers for inclusion in their âWorld XIâ - choosing the four defenders, three midfielders, three forwards and goalkeeper they most admire. ) Goalkeepers: Artur Boruc (Poland/ Celtic), Gianluigi Buffon (Italy/ Juventus), Iker Casillas (Spain/ Real Madrid), Petr Cech (Czech Republic/ Chelsea), Edwin van der Sar (Holland/ Manchester United) That basically means that not insignificant amount of his fellow footballers considered him to be THE best keeper in the world at that time. He's had some problems since, but now he is more mature, experienced, at the prime age for a goalkeeper and he seems to be growing. What are his limits, only God knows (and I've heard he's Argentine just like your manager so don't worry about that ) You can only pitty that lost time during the first half of the season as it is obvious it was the game time he needed to start shining again. Even out of form, to say he was worse than either KD or Gazza is nothing but preposterous.
Nothing outside of normal cult hero treatment. It's not like he kisses a picture of Artur every night before he goes to bed.
