Outfield Players in Goal.

[crouchea.livejournal.com]

In the Blackpool vs Arsenal match yesterday, Lehmann was the goalkeeper and no reserve goalkeeper was named on the bench. Had he been sent off for his foul on DJ Campbell, it was said (I heard on the grapevine that is twitter) that Van Persie would have bunged on the goalie’s shirt and gone in goal for him (it’s currently joked in the GU Football Weekly podcast who else in the squad would have had the height to do so, Fernando Duarte asking “Nasri on Fabregas’ shoulders?!” lol)

So inspired by that, I thought we should all do a collective pitch of memories of outfield players in goal. The most prominent memory I have is Reading vs Chelsea when those evil ****s injured both Petr Cech and Carlo Cudicini, and JT heroically went in goal and saw us through to a 1-0 win.

(Check the re-jiggling out... Drogba playing at CB (which tbf he'd excel at.)
 
I also remember Phil Jagielka pretty much *excelling* as an emergency goalie, especially in Sheffield Utd vs Arsenal when he made a cracking save from Van Persie to secure Sheffield Utd a 1-0 win. He really can play in practically every position, amazing man!

How about you, bbs? Feel free to spam pics of your team's players goofing around in goal (like the above one of Ash). Also, in the event of your first choice and second choice goalies both getting injured, which outfield player would you nominate to go in goal?

I know they injured Cech, but I had no idea they took out Carlo as well.

Hehehe, and how can we forget:






That's from China friendly last October. Suarez has trained as a goalie for both Uruguay and Ajax, I wonder if he does it for Liverpool too.

And here's the video of that training in China, he didn't get much action though. :D

NOT YET, BUT SOMEDAY:

Ramos, reacting to Mourinho saying that he would be one of the first choices to become the emergency goalkeeper:

"I told him that I would have no problem whatsoever with putting on the gloves, and that I would try to work hard to take Iker’s starting position away from him."

[balicious8.livejournal.com]

[balicious8.livejournal.com]

[balicious8.livejournal.com]

[sumrndmgrl.livejournal.com]

yeah, the kid is like 2 now or something. he's a baby himself! 22 or something. sheesh. in some ways ballers grow up too fast, i think.
