i really don't think that that's a doubt in him.. he's guessed the right way and got finger tip close to at least a half dozen penalties now, and he's saved (including shootouts), around 4 pk's? i think at minimum he's an ok penalty stopper, and my belief is that he's a good one. It's as...

based on what? every time he's filled in for lloris he's barely looked off his great form in 11/12. he's still easily better then the bottom half of the premier league keepers imo.

often not even that , conceding goals you'd never expect any 1st tier goalkeeper to let in. but then sometimes he does save what you wouldn't expect. to me lopez is just at that mignolet/ szczesny level... capable of extremely impressive saves, lightning quick reflexes.. but not honed in...

i actually don't see a huge error on his part for the second goal... that looks mostly like cristiano's fault. i've noticed now three or four times, when cristiano needs to win a defensive header and he only has a standing jump, he's really not dominant in the air at all and i remember clearly...

lopez is still so overrated by people. did no one actually watch him in the league? do people only watch him against us in the cl in 2012? casillas is still better then lopez. navas is probably at the point where he's better then both. what i really like about navas is that he's prime julio...

suarez vs pepe will be priceless. pepe already showed he's more or less a coward when someone is dishing out the crazy instead of him (diego costa). it's really why i loved diego costa's antics so much, that back line of madrid's is so extremely punchable, pepe-ramos has to be the most cnutish...

even if he doesn't score he's worth the praise.. he's an extremely tenacious physical beast of a player, strong as a bull, one of the faster players of la liga, and extremely clever in his movement and runs that he makes. Even when he was second fiddle to falcao he was super influential in...

the best centreback in the league full stop, comfortably too in my opinion. the only slight is that he's not extremely physical for a centreback, which could be a slight disadvantage.. but the likes of evans and koscielny aren't stronger then him and do just fine. it would be a crying shame if...

i'd rather have basanta then rojo.

i'd be amazed if you didn't.

sterling denied an outstanding goal/

di stefano was the first to come to mind, then messi.

gerrard has been awful.. repeatedly giving the ball away when unforced.

damn that was an extremely composed way of playing out of their own box by liverpool. barca pep era esque.

i don't think it's much of an overrating honestly. strootman is a tank, like carrick at his prime, except physically powerful, like yaya. much better defender as well, with the same range of passing, and a cannon from distance. He's a huge presence in midfield.
