More Dave Beasant than Manuel Neuer…
JOE can remember a time before the back-pass rule was introduced when goalkeeper’s were happy to have the ball playing technique of a drunk rhino on ice.
Who needs passing ability, vision or a first touch when you can just pick up a pass from your defenders and leather the ball up the field. Our memories of Packie Bonner are just flooding back to us now.
While Manuel Neuer and Victor Valdes probably look better than most outfield players in possession, some of their fellow ‘keepers have a lot of explaining to do.
Take a look.
Five keepers who are definitely not Manuel Neuer! http://t.co/eU8m9b3hBV
