Build an AM all time XI: Goalkeeper

[Rex Stone]

Which goalkeeper is the greatest you’ve seen in the lifetime? Most comments, likes or whatever wins.

Left back tomorrow.

For me I’d go Neuer then Cech.

People should vote on this and also in the old RB thread:

Greatest RBs of All-Time

I wouldn’t say it’s a back foot strategy that they implement, I don’t think they even need to since their CBs are usually camped on the half way line. A prime example of that is that clip I posted, Antonio, Fornals etc get in behind VVD and Konate during that match…Darwin Nunez was trying to do...

Buffon for me. One of my favourite players outside Arsenal of all time.

The thing I liked about him most was how calm and composed he was aerially. It's my favourite quality in a keeper. He's also one of the coolest ****ers you'll ever see.

No Yashin????

No Yashin????

What was he like to watch?

I feel like someone is missing from that list but cant figure out who?

Biased but Oblak had an insane peak.

Neuer offers the best overall package, imo. Brilliant shot-stopper, commanding figure, great distribution, pioneer of the sweeper-keeper role.

Buffon is as good as it gets for the era before playing out from the back became popular, though. Probably the best shot-stopper of the bunch along with Kahn, and dominant in the air.

 

[Flying Okapis]

No Yashin????

Never seen him play but wasnt he the only GK to ever win the Balon d'or?

He also wore a flat cap, kinda gotta give him a bonus point for that.

I'm not even sure its him, maybe my minds tricking me.

Peter Shilton?

Get that bellend Cech out of the poll, ffs.

Man only looked good when Jose parked the defence and midfield inside the six yard box, gimp of a person too.

Honestly, **** him and his eyebrows.

I mean he was rock solid for every manager post Jose until he dropped off and we snapped him up.

Probably, just really hate him.

Since no one is gonna pick him anyway, put Ramsdale in over him in the poll for a laugh.

Very difficult to choose. It is also era-depending in a lot of ways. GK's have really evolved into part-time outfield players past two decades.

I think there is a point in time were almost all of the above were at the top.

Really wanted to give it to van der Sar. Had great feet already back in the 90's during his Ajax career. Young CL winning side. Always great for Dutch national team (the best ever imo), but some lesser spells in Italy and Fulham tarnished his career somewhat.

Close call between Buffon, Casillas and Neuer. Cech is up there, but the other 3 edge it for me.

If you ask me who I want in goal in today's game, it's gotta be Neuer.

As a kid I always thought he was immense at Fulham.

Whenever I watched them in those days he was on another level. Utd signed him for a reason.

Van Der Sar playing for Fulham, in a shirt sponsored by Pizza Hut...really doesn't get talked about enough, as one of the weirdest moments in football history.

You're correct, he was great for them, but it always felt it was not recognized that much (in media) due to the size of the club. It was regarded quite the step back.

 

[Garrincha]

Buffon always loved the story/ myth that the trouble with betting was him putting ****loads on himself keeping a clean sheet

always had posters in the Football Italia magazine as well

I always had a soft spot for Fulham ever since VDS played there. Great stat-padding club as well.
