Most of his tackles were, yes! Should've gone against us last season when playing for Southampton, too. He's a very talented player, but he dives a lot and makes too many silly fouls.
Not only is Cech a better keeper in terms of shot stopping. But he's a better overall player in terms of distribution, controlling his area, coming / staying on corners / crosses. He also has a better command of his defence and is the type of 'safe hands' keeper we've not had since Seaman. Lehmann, Almunia, Fabianski and Sczezney were all error prone and liable to lose their heads at any point during games.
Yep. Total **** up by Chelsea, as I said on your board at the time. I was hoping that there was something wrong with him or his head had gone, as I couldn't understand the sale otherwise. By all means sell him, if you believe that Courtois is the future and will leave if he's not played, but not to bloody Arsenal. Couldn't they have picked a nice foreign team for him to go to?
Yep, couldn't quite believe it when Chelsea agreed to sell him to us. It was similar to when we sold RVP to Utd. Made no sense whatsoever for the selling club, although in both cases the player had said that they were determined to leave. Allegedly, it was Abramovich who had given his word that Cech could chose where he went next.
Congratulations to Swansea on your inevitable win. I'll put a bet on. Honestly though, I don't see much hope for them. Their defence is unbalanced and Guidolin's not doing the business, for me. Not sure why they gave him a new contract.
I'm always wary when our fans start to get carried away like they have recently. We're never far away from a **** up usually.
