    David De Gea - Very Very Very Very... Over rated
    Has Vidic as a wall before him for most games
    Flaps at almost all crosses
    Never commands

    Joe Hart - Very Over rated
    Had one good season
    Horrible decision making
    Has great company in defense

    Petr Cech (After that head injury) - Slightly over rated
    Head injury - horrible
    Never dictates, rarely comes out for crosses (Lloris comes out to 18 yard line for crosses)
    Had/ Has JT to protect him on most occasions


    imho there is never a great save, but always a poor miss or poor finish from a striker..

    Brad Kuzan, Hugo Lloris - underrated
    So positive, aggressive & consistent in decision making
    Have no real defenders to protect

    Hart was awful, 2 mistakes in one game?

    City would have nicked a point, even would have got 3 pts..

    You're being very harsh on Cech. He has made plenty of match winning saves over the years. Let's not forget 3 penalty saves in one match for us in CL final. Cech was and still is one of the best keepers in the world.

    Sure is, and Schwartzer is no slouch either.

    I disagree strongly that there is no such thing as a great save.

    At the moment I'd say Lloris is the best overall. Will be interesting to see how Courtois adapts to England if he ever gets a chance given how De Gea has struggled at times.

    Personally on a consistency basis i would pick Cech everytime, a fantastic professional and completely reliable.

    Cech is the best in the world for me, you want consistency with a keeper and that's what you get with Cech. Neuer and Buffon very closely behind too.

    Also think Lloris is a fantastic keeper and closely follows the 3 I mentioned.

    Neuer is the best at the mom for me
    Czech is still quality and happy that we have a good back up keeper now

    To say there is never a great save is frankly utter nonsence!!

    Pele didn't miss that header v Banks, nor did Carroll v Cech in the FA cup final 2012. Both done as much as they could and 99/100 they go in.

    Cech best in this country atm, don't see enough of the others outside England week in week out to say who is best in the world but Cech is up there.

    Hart is just showing that you can be a good keeper but great keepers make limited mistakes and have consistency. That's what puts Cech over everyone in the league IMO. Some have great seasons, Cech has a great career.
