This is one of the hardest decisions rafa is gonna have to make this season imo. dudek has been startin for a few years now but i think his one flaw is his tendency to make silly mistakes like fumble etc.. kirkland got his chance but injury saw im sit most of the season out. what do you think...

Christ you like yer polls don't ya lad.

For once its a decent one. HOWEVER.... you should have put "other" in there i think as someone might want Canizares.

For me i'd start with Dudek i think but any dip in form would see Kirkland become number one. I think our style of play under Benitez would suit Kirkland better actually as i think we'll see him using that long quick throw more often.

No question in my mind Stapo that Kirkland is the no 1 choice if he can stay injury free and its about time. He must have been pi**ed off watching England in Portugal because without injury he would have been the no 1 there also.

I think Benitez may just start with Chris

Kirkland deserves his chance to stake a claim if he can stay injury free as he has the potential to be alot better than Dudek.

Benitez has already said he won't be buying any players from Valencia and even if he tried to get him I doubt they would make it very easy.

I have a horrible feeling that whatever happens we're going to end up losing one of the two at some point in the next year or so.

God, it's like Hooper/Grobbelaar all over again, multiplied by a factor of about 10,000.

Kirkland is class, I love the lad, he is going to be great goalie him as long as he stays fit

I picked Dudek simply because he is much better than Kirkland right now. Dudek is very consistent and surely is one of the top 5 GK in premiership right now. If LFC want to win right away, they need to play the best player. I agree Kirkland has tons of potential but he is just not good enough to start right now. I think his biggest problem is the timing when out challenging the opponents. If he can improve on that, he should become very good.

Two good keepers I have confidence in both of them. I do however slighty favour Kirkland , Although not as experienced as Dudek, given time I expect him to go on and become as legendary as Clemence and Grobbelar.

Chris should get his fresh start over benitez coaching becoz i'll try my hard to figure out why chris wasn't standing in front of the sideline.....

chris will be my first choice anyway.

by **begintoend** » Fri Jul 23, 2004 8:28 am

The goalkeepers we have are good. Keepers are dependent on the defence in front of them. I'll like to start with Dudek 1st choice. He has the experience to command between the posts.

Dudek

i'd have to go for dudek. his shot stopping can win matches(like newcastle in the fa cup) but he does have a tendency to f.uup with simple catches(like against manu 2 seasons ago). but kirkland will take his spot in 1 or 2 seasons imo
