Bit of an over reaction really, it's not like he's getting a roasting. People have just casually mentioned that as of late he's not living upto the incredibly high standards he sets himself.

That guy is often OTT when someone criticises a player he likes.

Your description is correct. We're being concerned, because we know what talent he has. I know if I was standing in Liverpool's goal myself I wouldn't catch a shot.

I would imagine that Pepe's mind, rather like the rest of the squad and staff tonight, wasn't fully on the game.

Certainly looked like it.

I don't know what's gotten into everybody's head but Reina is the best keeper in the league, would rather have him than any other keeper.

xavi valero was an excellent coach and id take him back in a heartbeat

it wasnt just his goalkeeping coaching, he was actually a big help to torres as he often provided information on other keeeprs movements

GoodStuff · « **Reply #2284 on:** January 3, 2012, 11:14:11 pm »

Reina, for his extremely high standards, is having a very poor season. THe few goals we have let in this season i feel he could have done better with. And to be honest he doesn't deserve to go to be second choice for Spain on CURRENT FORM. As a GK defo but right now somethings not right. But he'll be back.

stevedo · « **Reply #2285 on:** January 3, 2012, 11:14:27 pm »

Unfortunate positioning for their first. Believe they scored three though, right?

joezydudek · « **Reply #2286 on:** January 3, 2012, 11:15:50 pm »

It seems to be a major offence on here to direct any sort of criticism towards Reina, but let's be honest he's not having a very good season at all by his standards.
I still wouldn't swap him for any 'keeper in the league as every player has their poor runs of form, but he's probably made more errors this season than he has in the last three or four combined and hopefully he'll be back to his best sooner rather than later.

The point is no one will be more upset than Pepe himself, I have total faith that he will put these mistakes behind him, and find his usual form. At times like these, it wouldn't do people any harm remembering that the guy is a human, mistakes are a fact of life. I remember Ray Clemence having a similar run, at the end of the day I still say he has saved us more times this season then cost us points .

His worse season so far?
Still nowhere near to being a problem.

The way that ball dips is unreal. I think it must have taken the slightest flick off of Agger. Can't blame Pepe, just very unlucky.

helmboy_nige · « **Reply #2293 on:** January 3, 2012, 11:26:40 pm »

Wait a minute... prior to todays match we had the meanest defence and yet Pepe concede 3 (one of which was a pen) and suddenly he's poor.

Oh and have people forgotten the amazing save from the corner just before the second goal?

jckliew · « **Reply #2294 on:** January 3, 2012, 11:27:26 pm »

Hows it that Pepe can be blamed for making a super save from Kompany from the corner and then the defence letting Toure to the near post again immediately after?
Same olde thing from the Manchester City goal at Anfield

Some of you lot will be eating your words if he left. He made a blunder with the first goal, but it's down to Kuyt to stop f**king about with the ball in the first place.

We better get Champs League or I can see Pepe leaving us in the summer. You guys won't be thinking he's poor then.

Reina is the least of our worries.

In a nutshell, an error tonight (and a couple for the season) but still for my money the best keeper in the league and one of the best in the world.
He has a lot of added responsibility this season, and yes, is playing within himself.
But there are far greater concerns for Liverpool FC at this moment in time and he will save us twice, three even four times the number of points he will cost us.

The first goal was a combination of things; kuyt losing the ball in a poor position, agger not closing down aguero, and reina misjudging the flight of the ball. If you dive you gotta catch it or parry it. I thought he should just moved his feet and gotten his body behind the ball, he probably didnt need to dive. Think he could've done a bit better on the 2nd too to be honest. Still a great goalkeeper, think if the team starts doing better then he will too. Kinda difficult knowing if you let the ball in the back of the net youre probably gunna draw or lose.

Forman · « **Reply #2300 on:** January 3, 2012, 11:44:17 pm »

For every one mistake he makes, he will make twenty game saving stops.

Move on!

Mutton Geoff · « **Reply #2301 on:** January 3, 2012, 11:44:57 pm »

Honestly he is allowed the odd mistake given how good he is, would you rather the United lad?

I do think though he should come out for corners rather than stay on his line but that maybe the way we defend.

Passmaster Molby · « **Reply #2302 on:** January 3, 2012, 11:46:15 pm »

Its his concentration that is letting him down at the moment, and maybe taking the captaincy off him and letting him focus on his own game will help him.

I also think he hasn't looked the same since losing Xavi Valero as his coach.

Lady_brandybuck · « **Reply #2303 on:** January 3, 2012, 11:46:50 pm »

So he had a bad game since... well I can't actually remember. Pepe is class, get a grip and move on

Let's face it, by his own high standards he's having a shitter of a season. However his shit season is still better than the best season of 90% of the keepers in the league.

That would be fair to say.

WorldChampions · « **Reply #2305 on:** January 3, 2012, 11:47:37 pm »

Still world class, every keeper makes mistakes.

Just a shame it happened in a game we needed to make it till at least HT with a clean sheet if we were to get anything.

CharlieAdamsLeftFoot · « **Reply #2306 on:** January 3, 2012, 06:42:18 pm »

How can anyone criticise Pepe. He is by far the most consistent GK in the PL. I wouldn't swap him for anyone. People are up Joe Hart's arse but thats only because he is playing for Man. City who are top of the league. His distribution is better than most outfield players. I think he should start taking the corners! One thing i don't get is he came to us with an outstanding penalty saving record and built on that in Cardiff especially. That part of his game seems to have slipped a bit over the last few years. Now I know a lot of it must be instinct but apparently before games, the keepers are shown all penalty takers and where they like to place them. I just wonder if he is being mismanaged by the coaching staff in this regard. One to ponder I think.

LiverBirdKop · « **Reply #2309 on:** January 4, 2012, 12:27:32 am »

I'm sure he'd be the first one to say how disappointed he was with himself for that first goal. Heck, his reaction said it all and I felt bad for him. Top guy, top keeper who had one bad night. That's all.

JM10 · « **Reply #2310 on:** January 4, 2012, 12:29:04 am »

He's a super keeper but I can't be the only one that thinks that the captains armband has led to some poor performances and mistakes from him. I genuinely think that it is affecting his normal level. Superb keeper but definitely struggling a bit this season, will hopefully wake up soon as we need him to be on top form.

I think that sums it up pretty well. I can only think of three 'keepers in this league who you could make an argument are better than Reina (all of them are debatable too), but Reina is performing below expecatations using the incredibly high standards he has set for himself in recent years as said expectations.

KERRYKOP · « **Reply #2312 on:** January 4, 2012, 12:44:09 am »

Reina is on a poor run, yes, but that man has attributes that no other keeper in the world has, do people forget his sweeping ability's in the last City game? Going beyond the call of duty.

Red_Rich · « **Reply #2313 on:** January 4, 2012, 12:54:17 am »

Can't believe this thread. Has it been hacked by a load of Mancs or something?!!!

The guy is joint best keeper in the league with Hart. Better than ALL the others.

If the other end of the team was doing their business then nobody would have noticed Pepe at all.

Fucking hope the lad doesn't read this forum. The whoppers on here at times (and the .tv phone-ins with Claire) ... fuking does my head in, fickle bastard fans these days!

Roger Federer · « **Reply #2314 on:** January 4, 2012, 01:06:21 am »

This thread reminds me of a Xabi Alonso thread from a few years back, you know when he was apparently 'shite'. Maybe by his own incredibly high standards, but he still made us a better team, were among our 3 best players, and we were lucky to have him. It's the same with Reina. I don't even think his performances have dropped that much, only slightly. He's still an excellent 'keeper, one I hope stays for atleast another 10 years.

ziggyy · « **Reply #2315 on:** January 4, 2012, 02:03:15 am »

Seriously.... 5-6 years of good, consistent top class performances for us and we haven't include the off-the-field leadership and just because of a few blips here and there, we should replace him....

Sheesh....

One of our best players.

To sell him would be farcical. There are no realistic goalkeeping targets I would swap him for.

Lucas21 · « **Reply #2318 on:** January 4, 2012, 02:09:44 am »

I've actually read a post saying trade him for Vorm as Dutch keepers last longer than normal ones.
