When I was watching it I saw it as a ducking goal... then out of nowhere... it wasn’t.
that keeper we got is fucking boss.

Regardless of whether the player was offside or not, he made that stop in a way I’ve never rarely, if ever, seen before. You 100% felt that was going to be a goal or a penalty. But it ended with a magnificent piece of athleticism from Becker. If anyone had any doubts about his quality, that save should serve as notice that he’s an elite keeper.
And clearly not offside... at least not in the final pass... fuck it... better rewatch now
Hmmm... hard to tell if the first pass is...
Regardless.... that is some mighty fucking goal keeping
And how quickly does he get back to his feet !
(I can't get up that quickly from the sofa ... 🙁 ).

It's was a great take by the Norwich player but when he looked up he must have thought what the fuck, the keeper's already here. I don't think he even had the time to swing his boot, that's how fast Becker was onto the scene.
DIrty Sanchez does this no justice by describing is as a one-on-one .. its a fucking two-on-one and Alisson is still the favourite
It's not just that he gets to it, but that incredible flick out into safety. It has been noted how often the ball sticks to him, but when that's impossible, he consistently gets the ball safe from his interventions. He's incredible.
Yes - I was misremembering it. It’s even more impressive when watching it back again.
The bit about releasing a little bit of pee stands true though.
I wonder if our throw-in coach has anything to do with this.
Ive a funny feeling, if any of our players took a throw in like that, it might, just possibly, be ruled a foul throw
Reina was great but he also had a mistake in him more often than Allison I seem to remember
Reina wasn’t all that tbh. I never remembered him as one of the greats.
Reina was our best PL era keeper - until Becker. Reina won the golden gloves a few years running I seem to remember. His last year was sloppy and for that we stupidly traded him for Mignolet.
Yeah, he was miles better than Mignolet, but he deffo had a weird slump at the end of his time here, when he seemed to stop making saves, which may have coloured some opinions a bit unfairly.
Pepe was great, but he never was in the “best in the world” conversation. Spain’s #2 behind Casillas, never mentioned in the same breath as Bufffon, Neuer or Cech - at the time looking with red-tinted glasses I thought it was a bit unfair, but objectively he was always a rung below the very best.
Alisson for the 2nd season running has been arguably the world’s best and at the very least in the top 3 of active keepers alongside Oblak and Ter Stegen.

Oblak is an absolute monster, and we're going to have to be clinical to get past him, but he hasn't got the distribution skills that mark Alisson out. In fairness to Reina, his distribution was a phenomenal asset too.
I seem to remember that the beach ball incident against Sunderland fucked with him for a long time for some reason. But as others have mentioned, he was very good but never in the best-in-the-world conversation. Mignolet on the other hand was a fucking disaster right from the start.
It was also the time when Valdez said he will not renew his contract at the end of the season. Then Reina came out with a statement in the press about how it would be difficult to turn down Barcelona followed by his dad stating it was his dream to see his son at Barcelona. In the end Valdez ended up signing a contract extension.
The way he openly courted Barcelona combined with his slump did harm his reputation here a bit.
That was Ray Clemence invented quick accurate distribution.
harsh... I think he repeatedly won golden gloves... up until the end when everything at the club was going tits up he was a really really good keeper.
