[Nickyboy]

The save that he got clattered in yesterday was Bert like.... very brave!

Surprised not to hear anywhere yet that the incident will be reviewed . Jedinaks clip with his boots looked deliberate. He didn't need to raise his foot.

Having seen a closeup of his injury now - and hearing it required 6 stitches after the game - I didn't give him enough credit for playing on and giving such a good performance in those circumstances.

It was right in front of us and I haven't seen a replay yet so I'm not sure what he hit, bit you could hear the knock from the back of the lower tier. It was a very brave save to make and considering the saves he made in the second half, he deserves a lot of credit.

I see Hart is being debated in the other threads. Having seen Pantilimon close up now I have to say I think Hart is the better option. But he was questioned yesterday and flapped at something last week which went right over him.

I dont think the club will move yet, but isn't the giant's contract up this year?

I'm sure they will look to bring in an upgrade in the summer to give a better standard of 'competition'!.

If they do bring in a new keeper - which I hope they dont - I pray its not some 30+ year old who we get about 2 years out of presenting with a problem in 2 years finding another new keeper. You run the risk of buying a pile of shit. Stick with Joe. I think they will.

He should have come for the corner but I blame Demi more for that. He did make some great saved at 2-1 though which kept us ahead, if it had gone to 2-2 we would have been a lot more nervous. Anything but a perfect game and he is now jumped on, very unfair!

Well she would have been a distraction if she was on the pitch!

From the match thread, a slight comparison of the top teams' goalies.

Szcesny: 0.86 goals per game, 2.47 saves per goal and 2.14 saves per game

Howard: .85 goals per game, 3 saves per goal and 2.25 per game

Cech: .90 goals per game, 1.37 saves per goal and 1.24 per game

Lloris: 1.20 goals per game, 2.09 saves per goal and 2.40 saves per game

MIgnolet: 1.27 goals per game, 1.88 saves per goal and 2.23 saves per game

De Gea: 1.14 goals per game, 2 saves per goal and 2.29 per game

Hart: 1.20 goals per game, 1.47 saves per goal and 1.67 saves per game

It's a very... rough... estimate but this is what I got.... THis says nothing about the types of chances these goalies are faced with and so forth.

For some comparison, here are some other goalies

Begovic: 1.24 goals per game, 1.90 saves per goal and 2.35 per game

Krul: 1.27 goals per game, 1.92 saves per goal and 2.27 saves per game

Mannone 1.08 goals per game, 4.00 saves per goal and 3.69 saves per game

Speroni: 1.41 goals per game, 1.47 saves per goal and 2 saves per game
