for a so called World Class goalkeeper when we needed a decent save he wasn't there
I seem to remember a classic flap from Schmeichel, I think that it was at Juventus, he came out for the ball over a couple of players, flapped and missed and they equalised. Now, even he had times, where you were going "oh, for f's sake", but you did realise that even the best have bad days.

The problem with goalies, that is more noticeable than for the outfield players, that they may only make one mistake in the whole match, but that mistake usually ends up in a goal. A striker may shoot, but the ball ends up in row z - you've not lost the match. A midfielder/defender may miss a tackle, but someone else tackles the opponent - you've not lost the match.
