Optimistic Nut 188 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Next time Newcastle are on the TV and you can't get to the game, listen to how many times in a game you hear the words, "HEAD AWAY!" come from him when a corner or cross comes in. I counted 8 times today alone and noticed he does it a lot. I mean, what does he expect the defenders to try and do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut 188 Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 But quite a few times he shouts it when the ball is in an area he should be coming out to collect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Doesn't command his box. It's what makes him a very good 'keeper as opposed to a world class one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Doesn't command his box. It's what makes him a very good 'keeper as opposed to a world class one. 106025[/snapback] I agree. He is equal to any keeper in the world for reactions and shot stopping, but he doesn't dominate his penalty box and defence in the way the very top handful of keepers in the world do. If you were being picky you could also say his record on saving penalites could be better! But he's easilly the best keeper i've seen at the toon and is one of the best in the game, just lacks that command of his area to be seen as the very best.

Gemmill 46022 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I've seen him save a really good penalty for Ireland though. He's just another Owen - only interested in turning it on for his country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol 0 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 It's not just his commanding of the area is poor. Count how many times our team manage to string 32 passes and a goal together from his distrubution! Go on, bet you don't count very many at all!
