Reina vs Kirkland

[Resu]

Watching the game yesterday it was clear what Kirkland biggest problem is (ability wise, not injuries). He doesn`t make big saves. None of goals were mistakes by him, but two of them were possible to save (Bellamys second and the last one).
If you compare that with a couple of Reinas saves you see the difference in class, and IMO the biggest reason we won as much as 4-0 yesterday.
We were lucky not to let at least one in at one and two up, and Reina ability to make great saves made it possible to cruise in to three easy points.

During the second half when Kirkland was in front of us, I realised just how weak and thin he is. He has no presence whatsoever. He needs to bulk up and man up. Thank heavens for Pepe.

And Phil Thompson, was babbling some **** yesterday about how he'd pick Kirkland over Reina every time. Only reason he said it was cos he was Houllier buy.

Reina is twice the keeper Kirkland will ever be. There's no comparison.

That's why he's a panelist on Soccer Saturday.

That show cracks me up. It's so lame.


I always think they should have their feet up on the desk, eating BBQ ribs, and smoking cigars, as they babble on in broken English about whatever crap fat Geoff Whatsisname sets them.


It has that kind of atmosphere.

Reina or Carson ?

This is surely a more relevant question.

Reina has better awareness & better overall game whereas Carson is more a shot stopper

What cracks me up is when Charlie Nicolaus says "situ-ation". Coming from roughly the same part of Glasgow as he's from, I know nobody who says it the way he does. Hilarious.

Now all we need is for them to bring back Rodney Marsh and steal Ally "clean ****e" McCoist away from ITV, with Rob "malaise" McCaffrey hosting instead of Stelling and it would be the most ridiculous/awful show ever.

Also at this stage Pepe has more experience, 1st team wise....

Will be interesting to see after Carson has had a full season palying 1st team football how his game has developed.

Either way its good news for us having two top keepers battling for the jersey.....

It would appear then that Pepe's wobbly spell is well and truly behind him and that comparisons to Dudek's second season have run out of steam.

[Fiddy]

Kirkland is crap, if he was foreign no-one would rate him. I can't ever remember seeing him make one even vaguely acrobatic save?

Agreed.

One of the most over-hyped English players of all time
