Chelsea 1 Arsenal 1

Keepers nowadays use the punch to tactically break on the attaching team. 

If the punch reaches a Chelsea player, we're beyond 5 or 6 oppo players. 

Didn't work on this occasion. 

Keepers do. 

What's he doing it for then?

@Ham..I understand the Punch is far more than the last option it used to be for me,,in my modest football world I considered a punch to be something I didn't want to do and a thing to be analysed.

However, things have changed but the incident in question was a "cop out" decision from the comfort of my couch,,at the other end Raya took a lot of similar crosses with ease and no fuss.

For me,,and not the definitive opinion as I hasten to add,,it was just another sign that Sanchez is not quite good enough for the top level.

I think we were so spoilt by PC and TC (hate to say that) that we accepted that level of keeping was standard and it has been a long-term shock to find the next generations of Chelsea keepers are not at that level,

It is very revealing to me how few keepers over the  years graduated from the academy/juniors to become anywhere near regular Chelsea/EPL/First Division players.

Name me more than one?...my memory isn't what it used to be!

As a follow up to the visit of my two "Associates" to Mr Havertz this  (UK) Am...

In fairness I have to say that Big Eddy isn't the brightest Christmas Tree light,has a soft heart somewhere and he is good to his Mum though,,and Bobby is not as sharp as his trade mark utensil..

The report I received went something like this,,,

Big Eddy.."Well we knocked on 'is door at 11 oclock,,,the geezer opened the door still in 'is Muppet Pajamas,,I says to 'im,  me and Bobby is here for the thing"

He larfed at me and Bobby stepped up wiv that nasty tool he carries,,the geezer went white and asked Bobby not to 'urt 'im "

It seems Eddy used the word grovelled but was a bit too long a word for him but that's what he meant.

So I asked Eddy where the medal was,,,

"Ah Boss we let 'im keep it",,Eddy is soft hearted as I said,,,

Seems the geezer changed his tune and wanted to keep it,,as Eddy said..":e said he ain't gonna get annover one at The Arse" ,,:So I felt sorry for 'im and let "im keep it"

Bobby was a bit put out as he read about those Ghurkas and blooding their fearsome knives and wanted to get that action,,bless him,

Anyway ended as well as can be expected,,sigh ..as ever if you want the job done properly best do it yourself!,,did my best...with 20/20 hindsight Mrs C is in UK..should have asked her to either go with them and keep them on mission or just go herself that would be a quick conclusion!

I can't wait for the biography and how Mr H deals with the issue!

Don’t understand this keeper bashing Malarkey, 

brought from Brighton by ex-brighton scout, for ex-Brighton goal keeping coach  

Along with a 8 year pension/project, therefore, he is not going anywhere or getting demoted.
