Tom 13921 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 He's not had the best of seasons but he's still far and away the best English keeper. James has performed well above his station this season and on merit deserves another chance in the England side but that does not automatically make him the better keeper. Dunno about that, James is the most talented English keeper of his generation, the only issue being his big game temperament. Robinson looks pretty average and has for a while imo. Is talent the same as shite now then? Being able to pull off amazing saves while at the same time being unable to deal with crosses of any kind or organise a defence or distribute the ball properly. Don't make him talented. Do you see much of James play? Seriously, you sound clueless. Whites > Blacks get out of it man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 20312 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 i agree with kcg's assessment of james. world class shot stopper; lower league standard when he comes for crosses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio 0 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 James is different class to Robinson imo. He's better than Robinson in every area, the only problem with James is he's capable of dropping a bramble like error at any time. I'd have Kirkland as first choice if he could manage to stay fit.

Shearergol 0 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Robinson had a couple of good seasons (one at leeds, one at spurs) and everyone automatically had him down as the best keeper in the world EVER.... James is a much better keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gejon 2 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 As dodgy as he can be James has been immense this season and on current form is a lot better than Robinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut 9 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 James makes more mistakes, but is the better goalkeeper. I bet over the course of the season he prevents more goals from his all round command of the box and shot-stopping, even with his errors. Could easily put up with the mistakes. I suppose it's like a centre-forward. Bellamy misses hatfuls of chances, but because his all-round game is excellent, you accept these over someone like say Andy Johnson who is a better finisher but not a better player.

But the problem with a keeper is those errors turn into goals. its like a defender to the power of 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'd say Robinson makes as many mistakes tbh. And that goal against Croatio probably topped anything 'Calamity' James has done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that goal against Croatio probably topped anything 'Calamity' James has done. It was funny though. I am not a huge fan of England football. Mainly due to the players in the team. Just too full of knobs and wankers for me to support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordieshandy 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 James this season has been alright, being behind Campbell (who has been immense) has helped whereas Robinson has missed his leading centre half in King. Having Campbell to organise in front of him has taken a bit of the onus of James in my opinion. I wouldn't say either are the best dealing with crosses mind, but Robinson being a stone over weight sort of precludes him having to run and jump anywhere.
