Goalkeepers: Devine or Mooney No.1?

[Jack_2001]

Hi guys,
no disrespect, but I can't even believe we're talking about this. Devine is well better than Mooney!! I'll freely admit that Mooney is a very good goalkeeper, but Devine is streets ahead.

People seem to be forgetting his Man of the Match performances that were practically back to back for like 5 games at the start of the season. Do people honestly feel that Mooney could have made half of the saves that Devine has made for us this season???

On the point that Noel never fecked up for us before, I really don't want to drop Noel in it, but he has, particularly on crosses, against the like of Bohs from a few years ago. I mean come on, isn't it nice to have a goalie that we don't shudder and pray to God whenever he leaves his line for a cross?

I'll admit that Mooney didn't do anything in particular to lose his place, but like Devine came in and then it was between the two of them and there was only one winner. I personally believe that Michael is in the top two keepers in the league, if not first (Williams would probably get my vote still).

Michael has made two horrible mistakes in the past, but all goalies do it, Schmeichel, Barthez as the shed reminded us.... have any of those guys ever been dropped? No, and look what they've achieved...

All I'm saying is please no kneejerk reactions Devine has always done the biz for us, and when goalies feck up they need breathing space, and if we give it to Michael, then I guarantee you he'll continue to turn it on for us this season

Regards
M. Devine <Jack) >
