1 - Victor Valdes

[Kerrybai]

last year pinto got 1 game in league to prepare for copa, now with valdes poor spell he's getting 4 games to warm up? dafuq. let valdes earn his fifth don't bail him out ffs

Trophies should always be put before individual awards. Pinto is going to play in the Copa final and the league is lost, so playing Valdes in goal in the remaining league games ahead of Pinto would damage the teams chances of winning the final (More games for Pinto will be better prepare him for the final).

he already secured his zamora this season by playing 30 matches (or 31 .. there is a minimum number of games for that, I'm not sure is it 30 or 31) so either ways VV has won zamora this year.

Proud of Victor. For all the talk about his inconsistencies and his blunders, he remains La Liga's top keeper!!! Congrats Victor Valdes!

Pitched 17 shut outs to Iker's 14

Goals Against 26 to Iker's 30

Goals Against Average .76 to Iker's .83

Thing with goalkeepers is, they never win.

Neuer, Schalke 0-2 United. Both goals were savable. Anyone who watched the game will realize what i just said is, although true, a complete misrepresentation of the truth.

Valdes has good and bad things to his game. Good - best goalkeeper positioning in the world.
Bad - mistake prone.
Good - Second best user of feet as a GK (after Reina IMO)
Bad - big game FLOP
Good - La Masia product - say what you want, but it helps. It galvanizes, gets the fans on your side... it's helpful.
Bad - Sometimes, i just..... omg *slap motion*.... at his near post.... how could a world class goalkeeper... *deep breath*

If we had Casillas in the last 2 weeks and RM had Valdes?
Chelsea 0-0 Barcelona
Barcelona 3-1 Real Madrid
Barcelona 2-0 Chelsea

I'm a big fan of the Bundesliga, and all i can say is:
Pinto OUT, Mitch Langerak (or less realistically, Bernd Leno) IN
Valdes STAY, eventually become second keeper behind super Mitch

As a La Masia product (one of the 'good's), i don't think he'll object to being relegated to the bench too badly.

Pep Reina is better than Valdes using his feet?

Valdes >>>> Reina

Reina is the biggest flop, his screwups are legendary whereas Victor's are just regular keeper mistakes.

~ ZAMORA RACE: #Valdes conceded 26 goals in 34 games. (Avg Goals/game: 0.7647) #fcblive, #Casillas 30 in 36 (A: 0.8333) #realmadrid #laliga.

¤ If Valdes concedes 3 goals or more, Casillas played against Mallorca and kept a clean sheet. (Valdes, 0.828+ Vs Casillas, 0.810)

>>> OR<<<

¤ If Valdes concedes 4 goals or more, Casillas didn't play. (Valdes, 0.857+ Vs Casillas, 0.8333)

==> Casillas wins the Zamora.

note: Pinto is injured, Oier included in the Match Squad to face Real Betis, but Guardiola confirmed in the press conference yesterday that Valdes will play.
-----------------------------------

Valdes <3


¤ #Valdes can officially win the Zamora trophy for the 5th time in his career #fcblive if he didn't concede more than 2 goals today against Real Betis Or (if he didn't play).

- Valdes already won Zamora Trophy 4 times (2004/05, 2008/09, 2009/10, 2010/11).

- All-time #laliga record Antoni Ramallets (5) at Barcelona (1951-52, 1955-56, 1956-57, 1958-59, 1959-60).

:valdes: Congrats on the fifth Zamora

 

[mixer]

Valdes wins his 5th Zamora trophy (keeper with least Liga goals-per-game), equalling the all-time Spanish record of Ramallets.

He is shit anyway.

 

[Galning]

Viiictor Valdés. Although he didn't have a single save once again this evening. For the last couple of weeks every shot on target was a goal.

shit?, he has been crucial to this Pep's Barca. Saved our asses way too many times, people only remeber the few mistakes. Unbelievable

He had a nice save on second half, when Masche was left behind on the left side. He saved it with his feet

Gratz on the save then..
