It's the only reason I resent cech right now. I honestly think Scez improved at Roma and has years ahead of him. A boyhood fan of the club I think we did him and ourselves a disservice.
Walcott did brilliantly for his goal, persevered and kept going, now he would have gone down wanting a free kick.
Could have been much worse indeed. He always pulls amazing saves. He always has 2-3 crucial mistakes in him each game though. Also he is so easily pressured and his kicking is horrible.
If he'd stood in the middle of the goal, he may have been abe to pick the ball up as it rolled off the post! Some good saves today,but I'd like an upgrade in the summer.
There's no doubt that overall he's an improvement on the run of post Lehmann dreck that preceded him but I think he should have been replaced this summer. I feel we should have brought Szczesny back and let Ospina go but perhaps he wasn't interested. At any rate this has not been the Petr Cech we had hoped to get and you can see why Chelsea were willing to move on. He's lost more than a step though obviously our porous defense relative to the Chelsea sides he featured in has exacerbated the problem.
Not even worth mentioning then. I find it so odd how people keep bringing the penalty thing into it--even when they were virtually unsavable
It's a reflection on his performance throughout the time he's been here, not that single game. He has definitely had some savable pens.
