As is known Kirkland is injury prone , I dont think he is a top notch goal keeper in my honest opinion. When he has played a couple of occasions that stick in my mind is the goal he conceeded against Everton at Goodison. Carsley I think was the scorer , for my money he should of saved that and the Rivaldo free-kick against Olympiacos.
Mind you its always the bad ones that stick in your mind.
Scott Carson- I havent had the pleasure of watching him to often , Ive only seen him play against Juve , Ive heard he has had some decent games though and looks a bright prospect.
Reina- Jury is still out on him for me , at times his decision making has been pretty eratic ie flapping for corners etc.... Seems a good shot stopper but maybe we should judge him at the end of the season.
Dudek- I may get slated for this but I think he is still our best keeper , especially if he could get back to the form he was at a couple of years ago.
The mans confidence was shot to pieces after the Forlan goal or goals against ManUre and since then it has pretty much spiralled down hill from there.
He is a a good shot stopper , he has fantastic agility and he usually looks comfortable with the ball at his feet.
I think he could command his box a lot better , and sometimes his decision making may lapse a bit . But overall I think he has great ability but maybe lacks the confidence , and I also think Rafa is either looking to sell him or Kirkland .
