AnfieldReds' Report Card 2006/07 - Goalkeepers

The season has came to an end. It's time for us to reflect and for me to grade the players. From the back to the front. Starting from goalkeepers.

First, Pepe Reina.



Our number one goalkeeper for the past 2 seasons. He started poorly in the beginning with much blunders and howlers especially those against our derby rivals, Everton. Future was in doubt and I believe Rafael Benitez gave him a warning of performing. He stood up well and managed to regain his form which made all of us started loving him again.

What I love about him is his confidence on the ball and towards the end of the season, he played really well and helped us on the way to Athens with a penalty shootout win against Chelsea. That was for me his best performance. Heard that his contract is going to be extended. I do fancy him to stay with us and be one of the best goalkeepers in Liverpool history.

AnfieldReds' Grade : 80/100



Jerzy Dudek

Our Istanbul hero. He will never be forgotten for the night and be in Liverpool history. However, ever since Reina's arrival, his place in the team is not guaranteed. Or I should say taken over. He's normally on the bench this season except for several occasions.

Sadly, every time he plays, it's seems to be Liverpool who's losing. Nobody will forget the 6-3 loss against a young Arsenal side in the Carling Cup. He was the goalkeeper of the match. Mistakes were everywhere. In football, people will only remember the mistakes, not the saves. His contract is not extended and is allow to leave the club end of the season.

Nevertheless, we appreciate his contributions to Liverpool Football Club. He's a winner and I shall wish him all the best for his future career.

AnfieldReds' Grade: 50/100
