The Goal Keeper














One of the most important positions on the pitch . Without a doubt a good goalkeeper gives any team in the Premier LEague a fighting chance irrespective of their place in the table. Some of the goalkeepers who have caught my eye in recent weeks with a string of good performances are.....

1.Vito Mannone:

The Arsenal goalkeeper was thrown in the frame out of the blue . Replacing Almunia at the goal as hes out injured , Mannone caught the eye keeping a clean sheet in the game against Fulham at Craven Cottage 26 September 2009, in which he single-handedly kept in the game, receiving the man of the match award he made a string of high class saves in the Fulham Match ensuring a 1-0 victory.


2.Thomas Sorensen

This veteran goalkeeper requires no introduction . It seems that the former Aston Villa man is working wonders at stoke city . Even with the odd hiccup here or there hes still reamins a hard man to beat.

3.Tim Howard

Keeping four consecutive clean sheets so far in the season , most recently away to portsmouth where Tim excelled and made many great saves to help his team secure a 1-0 win against Portsmouth . Tim claimed the man of the match award in this match for hise superb performance .


4.Peter Cech

Mr dependable himself has been in a rich vein of form since the season opener at Wembley saving two penalties against Manchester United helping Chelsea to lift the Community Shield . Except for the odd sending off at Wigan hes been at his best.


My Verdict :

Vito Mannone
