Cech breaks Schmeichel´s record

Not bad - of course a big part of it, is Chelseas 10-men-defense, but going 781 minutes without conceding a goal, is pretty impressive.

Another 103 minutes without conceding a goal - and he will even break Hildbrand´s record off going 884 minutes without conceding a goal.

Yep.

But no denying it - he's a great keeper. And he's got a half decent defence in front of him too! With depth as well!

Does Chelsea's 10-men-defence consist of Robben, Duff, Gudjohnsen, and Drogba as well?

Sure it does. Look at Duff´s defensive work - it´s pretty impressing, same with Robben, constantly chasing up and down the pitch.

Sadly, we missed out on Cech. Would have been a great signing.

He had to save a penalty to beat that record...class keeper, if only we got him.

that defense is immense there can be no denying, but it'll be interesting to see how long Robben is out for and how that affects the team. remember without him it was 1-0 victories all the time; they could come to depend on thet defense even more.

He's a quality keeper who has an awesome defence in front of him if only we could get our keeper situation sorted :(

when chelsea are a goal up, which they usually are early in a game, they leave 3 upfront. everyone else is behind the ball.

Its a great record for him to have. He is a great keeper but without taking anything away from him he has a decent defence with depth in front of him.
 

Arsenal Quotes

It was a unique moment, a football fairytale. Was there anyone left who still believed I could give that kind of performance? Probably only Arsène Wenger.

Per Mertesacker on Arsenal’s FA Cup Final win over Chelsea on 2017 being his only appearance that season
