Every player has their place in the team and are all just as important as the others! A great team is made around a great keeper! That is my philosophy! Look at Khan, Van Der Saar, now Neuer, Buffon (back in the day) Inter and Julio Cesar!
each player has a job to do, mids to create and win back possession, wingers to create, defenders to defend and keepers to keep the ball out of the net and strikers to score goals! without each component the other postions cannot do what they need to!
I am a good keeper! All the players/teams I play against say that I should be playing in the PSL here in South Africa so I love to see awesome saves over awesome goals, always have always will! Defending and tackling, meh! even though you gotta love Vidic!
