But that's the thing. Is he a top drawer keeper. I think Howard is a better keeper then him. Because he is England's number one he gets more attention.

I think he's a very very good keeper with the potential to be top drawer, the problem with him being English though is there is no middle ground, they (the media) built him up far too much, making out like he was in the top 3 in the world, when he wasn't, and now he's going through a bad spell he's all of a sudden rubbish (media claims)
in my opinion, he is an excellent keeper going through a bad spell that he will get through.
and as soon as he has a couple of good games again, sky sports etc will immediatedly be telling us how he's the world's greatest again.

I want Aguero and Lukaku but who to drop.

I have them. And Suarez. Pity the rest of my team is ****. Got 12 points without Lukaku and Suarez last week. Going well but its a disaster waiting to happen

Nope. There were tournaments in 2012 and 2013 so that they could move it to 'odd' numbered years so next one is 2015.

The english goalkeeping position has always been a troubled area mainly because of the media. Hart has the potential to be one of the best in the world but if the media would leave him alone he might get there.

Lemlin

Ben Arfa on the bench at least:


Substitutes: Rob Elliot , Paul Dummett , Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa , Vurnon Anita , Jonas Gutierrez , Hatem Ben Arfa , Sammy Ameobi

The media have done the same to countless young English 'keepers. The closest example to Hart is probably Paul Robinson. He was England number 1 for a long time.

Now Zabaleta with blood running from the nose??? WTH???

Negredo on 3bps, please god stay that way.

This is pleasing. Hopefully he works out better than my other OOP 'star' Miralles.
