@Calum is right, from what I remember he always rated Ospina
Donāt mind Leno personally. Was solid today. Score couldāve been worse but he was reliable when needed.
Not that Iām blaming him for not saving the pens, but didnāt actually have a great record in Germany at saving them ?
Itās the Cech effect.
Passing accuracy:
(89.7%) Alisson
(62.5%) Leno
That long?
That situation shows the difference between us and Liverpool.
They had a GK that made a mistake and was cleared out straight away to replaced by a far better player.
If that was us, we would have kept him for several seasons, watch him keep repeating the same mistakes, and then bought someone who was at the same level.
Theyāve had Mignolet in goal from 2013 before that so it was 5 years they had shit goakeepers before they got Alisson
Yeah, to suggest Liverpool rectified their keeping situation straight away is a massive leap
Klopp wasnāt there when they bought Mignolet.
To be fair. we havenāt bought a decent GK since we moved to the Emirates, unless you include Cech for his first season with us.
But he was still his number 1 gk untill they bought Allison. Karius came in at the second half of last season only
If Liverpool would have lost to Madrid by a couple of standard goals, be interesting to know if theyd have gone for another keeper.
I havenāt got any confidence in this dude when it comes to handling opposition crosses or catching a ball
Should have just stopped the sentence thereā¦
he has made some good saves today, good shot stopper but needs to work on crosses.
Made some good saves today but I think itās easier at times to do it when youāre down and know youāre going to lose the game.
I can recall many average keepers having good games vs us at Highbury etc back when we were a powerhouse competing for titles.
Wouldāve lost at least 5-1 if we didnāt have Leno
Maybe it was an impulse post during the game, so will need to revisit my point with a clear head but I still feel the same way right now.
Heās not a standout keeper in any particular skill. His distribution in particular is laughable. However he kept the score down from the standard 5-1, 6-1 etc that this was heading for as soon as they got their 2nd, so Iāll credit him for that
Thought he was very good today and brave at times too.
