Kelvin vs Leeds was amazing and got us up...

 

Forster is cracking keeper. As has been said countless times by countless people....

 

But that kevin performance goes down in the annuls of the clubs history. No doubt whatsoever that it was pivotal in getting us where we are now.

Yep. Has to be Kelvin for me. Not just because of the significance of winning that game in terms of our promotion, bit because he was just super human that day. As good as Fraser was tonight, I don't think any of the saves he made were ones that I wouldn't expect him to make.

Clearly Kelvin. I have the memory of watching that game, surrounded by Leeds fans in Wetherby. It was one of the sweetest yet nerve wracking games I've ever watched. That man is a demi god. Fraser has his time to come....

Kelvin without any shadow of doubt, there was a queue outside every DIY outlet in the Leeds area the next morning as there wasn't a kitchen sink left in the LS postcode to throw at him at the final whistle.

I only watched it on the box but even an hour after the game I was still exhausted just from watching it, dinner was late and a bottle red seem to evaporate on the kitchen side.

Fraser tonight was without doubt right on the money and pushing Kelvin hard for the honours.

I only saw Kelvin's saves against Leeds on a short recording but I thought that the shots were straight at him too, but isn't good positioning the mark of a good keeper?

 

Kelvin made at least one daft "diving back towards his own goal after making initial save" save which he had to recover from. A lot easier to have good positioning when you're only facing one shot rather than rebounds.

 

Still Forster's best performance for Saints, better than the one at Chelsea last season which I think was his previous benchmark. He seems to have slimmed down slightly and is more agile as a result, without losing the natural mass he has always had which comes in handy for deflecting stuff. I was most impressed with the save at his left side near post last night, where his reaction time must have been affected by the defender closing down the shot in front of him. Tight angle for the striker but only 7 yards out and he still got both hands up to it to deflect it out for a corner.

 

The defence as a whole seemed more committed though, the margins between Wanyama and Van Dijk getting their last-ditch tackles in and Forster having to face unpressured shots from relatively close range were tiny.

Kelvin for me. Even now, 4 years later and knowing what happened, whenever I watch the highlights of the match I'm still utterly convinced that Leeds are going to score.

 

That was the game where I felt we were going up, I've never seen a goalkeeping performance like it. Fraser was amazing today and granted the attackers were better, but that performance against Leeds from Kelvin was other worldy. Always nice to see Warnock so annoyed, too!

As were most of Forster's.

 

I didn't think they were tbh.

 

The one where Ozil was through was a fantastic save and the curling effort from Ozil also was.

 

I'm not understating Kelvin's display that day as it was fantastic but even the second save from Becchio was going wide. Had it been on target they would've been 1-0 up. It was a top display and kicked us on to promotion but taking that away, i'd say Frazers performance was the better. He also marshaled the **** out of the defence in front of him very well.

Mignolet made the same top corner save last night and no-one's talking about how great he was against Leicester! ;) Also, I said "most" not "all". It was an excellent performance, I just think Kelvin's was better (albeit against worse opposition).

I went for Kelvin. Leeds completely outplayed us that day but not only did we keep the clean sheet but we robbed all 3 points with the Rickie goal. Completely Arse-loved Leeds that day and helped us go up.

 

Forster was outstanding last night, but he has a bloody good defence in front of him, and needed JWP in the right place.

"worse opposition"? How do you relate that to the performance? Were Leeds' shots weaker because they were not such a 'good' side as Arsenal are, were there fewer of them, were they more like back passes than shots, did they make it more obvious where and when they were going to shoot than the subtle Arsenal players? And I thought Mignolet failed to save a couple of shots.

 

Try making your point again and clearer this time.
