Definitely his best season. Only he'll know what's different. but the most obvious thing is the coaching change.

McKeown is never going to have an easy game while we sit deep and play on the counter......not a criticism, it's working...just saying.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Coyne was an excellent keeper who I recall saved town getting totally battered on so many occasions I lost count.  
he would be the stand out keeper for me, although as with Macca, I find myself thinking a better organised keeper wouldn't have to make so many saves.

I think keepers like Edwin Van Der Sar were fantastic because they just looked to calm, cool and collected.  Not sure I can ever remember Van Der Sar making a save, which shows how good he was.

It shows how good the defence is in front of them, not how good the keeper is!

Not always, we shipped goals until Dave Beasant played for us. I don’t think we conceded with him in goal and he didn’t seem to have to make any great saves.
Then he went back to Chelsea and we continued leaking goals.

Completely agree. Beasants strongest asset was his ability to organise and communicate with the defence to make their lives easier as he could read the game and was vocal with it. That in turn gave them confidence and a confident defence is a stronger and better defence, which in turn makes his life as a goalkeeper much easier.

Somebody like Van Der Sar who has the intelligence to read the game can organise the defence ahead of an attack. Great command of the box too and ability to pick crosses out the air. I think he made the defence of every club he played at better. In his best season he kept 21 clean sheets and Man U won the Premier League title. The only one who kept more clean sheets since the Golden Glove award started in the PL is Petr Cech who again has a lot of the same traits. If Macca kept 20+ clean sheets in a season are we going to be like "Oh that was all the defence in front of him, he didn't do anything special"? I don't think so.

I see where you are coming from but I believe it more important who's in the defence than the ability of a goalkeeper to organise a defence as to how many saves a keeper has to face.
