Bucks Saint Posted 5 April, 2014 Share Posted 5 April, 2014 Not many teams (big boys apart) have a 3rd choice keeper who is very reliably premiership quality. Yes, several have very decent 2nd choices but beyond that its often someone not ready or not tested at this level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint J 77 Posted 5 April, 2014 Share Posted 5 April, 2014 Paulo Gazzaniga in goal doesn't fill me with much confidence, but maybe this is his moment to shine? Seeing how free scoring city are at home it could be a rugby score if he does not play at his best . Still, It would be nice to at least come away with our positive goal difference intact.

Window Cleaner Posted 5 April, 2014 Share Posted 5 April, 2014 (edited) Gazza in goal therefore we have lost. Only chance we have is if they don't have a shot on target. One of the things I am most looking forward to about the close season is replacing the worst keeper in the league as our no.2. Serious question, would Morgan in goal actually be worse? I don't think so. Morgan's Mum probably wouldn't be worse,his Dad certainly wouldn't, don't know about Morgan himself. With Navas likely to show up the defensive weaknesses of our full backs Gazza will have some crosses to cut out. Shaw needs to be on top form today, if Navas takes him apart then his value will fall and his WC place will evaporate into thin air.

Sheaf Saint Posted 5 April, 2014 Share Posted 5 April, 2014 He's also crap at this level. I think 'crap' is a bit harsh. He's not as good as Boruc, clearly, but he's a damn sight better than Gazzaniga is at this stage of their respective careers, and probably about as good as a mid-table PL club can expect to have as a no2 keeper.

Viking Warrior Posted 5 April, 2014 Share Posted 5 April, 2014 Go Gazza . Show the moaners how good you are today . This must be a new low moaning about players before the game kicks off .

Dr. Kucho Posted 5 April, 2014 Share Posted 5 April, 2014 Gazza to stop a penalty, make world class saves and Guly to come on in the 90th minute and score the winner. How I hope this will happen. If I remember rightly in Gazza,s last game for us, he made some very good saves. Come on kid, you can do that again today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convict Colony Posted 5 April, 2014 Share Posted 5 April, 2014 De Gea was **** for 1 whole season with Man U, where as Gazza has only really played twice in spells for us. 1st under Nigel where teams were having more shots than a bukkake conference and over Xmas this season when our central defence and midfield were dealing with injuries etc. If he f*cks up thats life but we have the players we have no point in moaning about of what we could of or should of had, we should look at it as a learning opportunity, we are fortunate enough for these games to be only about pride, if he doesn't perform he will be out the door in the summer i would expect and Cropper given a chance as 3rd but lets just hope we are wrong and he performs.

Horley CTFC Saint Posted 5 April, 2014 Share Posted 5 April, 2014 Gazza has all the ingredients to be a good keeper in the PL, but he has some mental barriers to overcome first.

Lazlo78 Posted 5 April, 2014 Share Posted 5 April, 2014 Oh, come on FFS. Get serious. Is building a whole argument against our transfer strategy on a gloomy prematch predicition really that serious? I'd say we could both clean up our act and get ready for the game and leave all the sweeping statements for the post match analysis. And that's what I'm going to do. Enjoy the game! Danish TV just did a feature on LRL - Lambert/Rodriguez/Lallana - as part of the build-up. Wow - goosebumps They heaped praise on our team and even pointed towards Shaw, Chambers, Clyne, Ward-Prowse and Cork in relation to Three Lions...

melmacian_saint Posted 5 April, 2014 Share Posted 5 April, 2014 I think people overestimate how desperate we are to sell our good players. Namely our academy ones. We've only done it out of need before, and once because it was ridiculous money for a L1 player. I honestly do not see Lallana moving away. I think he is one of the most likely of our recent academy players to become a one-club man. Then again who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
