"to score against him they had to score the perfect goal"

Huh, maybe we felt like that a little about Courtois too … difference being we actually had a player capable of scoring a perfect goal. 😃

Having a world known top class keeper must put players off. They know they have to work harder for the goal - or at least think they do - which must be a head fuck You don't get that with an unknown guy no matter how good he is on the day.

Except when they're playing us. Even shitsters turn into the next incarnation of Gigi Buffon when they play us.

It's more about not really caring who's there. Ox is great at that, Alexis as well. Don't know about the others.

god damn. god fuckin damn. chez is probably chilling in a nice rome apartment laughing his ass off.

Wengers line about cechs presence putting people off was bullshit. You are either capable of stopping shots and claiming the ball or you're not. No magical mind games involved.

Today Cech was awful and cost us. He's going to have to improve dramatically in coming weeks if he doesn't want to be sitting on the bench watching Ospina.

yeah, probably thinking "y'all thought it was all my fault"

Enormous pressure on him now. Everyone can have an off-match, but top keepers don't have two of these in a short span of time.

USArsenal

i still think he will be an improvement.. poor game from him, no doubt.. but we just beat chelsea with him in goal and he looked confident as fuck.. he will shake this off methinks

I'm writing this off as a bad day at the office, too knee jerk after one game.

I expect him to, but for me keeper has never really been our problem, our failure to score goals on a regular basis is.

being able to score also helps take the pressure off the defense and keeper. whenever you are so focused on trying to be perfect you will fuck up. i can see him back there watching our shit show attack and thinking damn "i have to be perfect because they aren't parking the bus in front of me and they still can't score."

i'd rather us be more negative if it means less goals conceded because a negative arsenal over the course of a season won't score much less than this "attacking" arsenal.

I call bullshit on the people doing the I told you so routine.

Rex

He will prove to be a top signing for us.
