watching the telly you frequently see 'keepers getting angry with their own defenders when a goal is conceded. It may be surprising how such an outburst doesn't happen more often.
Famously Peter Schmeichel said that his job could have been done by a dustbin because the defenders in front of his goal were so good.
You will often see for free kicks that the 'keeper has the best line of sight and manages the placement of the defensive wall. When a 'keeper makes 'man of the match' is it because of deficiencies in the back four ? Jamie Carragher ranted recently on Sky about the importance of defenders keeping a good distance from goal so that the keeper gets an early view of any shots on target.
Then there is the sensitive matter of players being able to hear each other in very noisy stadia. 'keeper often shouts "leave it" when he has the shot covered and will be furious if a defender ignores the instruction.
We are so lucky to now have Speroni, Hennessey and McCarthy all competing for a place. When defenders are up the other end of the pitch, and a breakaway counterattack happens, it is admirable the bravery keepers show in running off their line and taking on a sole striker far away from goal.
so what does it all mean ? what is the relationship between defending outfield players and their own 'keeper ?
