I think I agree - he keeps it simple doesn't showboat and distributes well.

He gives me a lot more confidence when he's coming for corners and free kicks and dominates the area better than Joe imo. However he is nowhere near Joe in shot stopping.

It's the crosses and distribution thing for me as well. Joe is a massive flapper.


My favorite part about Costel's distribution is the speed of it. He immediately looks up field and usually finds a player while the opposition are still turning around to see who they need to pick up. Works great for a team as good at the counter attack as we are

That worries me also. I feel much, much more confident that Pantilimon will get to a cross than Joe will. He does seem to take them very cleanly.

We need someone with Pantilimon's command of the area and Joe's instinctive shot stopping. Whether such keeper exists I don't know.
