@harry191 If we're talking about old, goalkeeper usually hit their peak in their late 20s and early 30s (case in point: neuer, casillas, buffon, lloris, etc.)
Gurpreet should be given in a chance (for non-important games, sure and especially when Subrata retired) but as of now Subrata still showed why he is India's #1 goalkeeper.<div><br></div><div>I wish I took points of all of Subrata's great saves thru the tournament to show the people how good he is.</div>
<br><div><br></div><div>Try mixing that with all his idiotic moves and decisions as well.</div>

<P>subrata is no doubt very good .. he did play for Pune FC,the city i belong too..i have watched countless time, he is absolutely fantastic when it comes to goalkeeping( he has the potential to become the best at the asian level, the way he organisee his defence is amazing too watch,provided you have good defence,indian team aint got any defence,Pune FC does have)</P>
<P>but i feel he is trying to show off too much in recent past, creating errors ans tupid mistakes,which he should rectify)</P>
<P>forget the spiderman and concenrate on the basics of goapkeeping.</P>
<P>in the final;</P>
<P>1) how the keeper of his stature can thorw the ball out of the box when it hs been headed back( arsenal fan: your comments here.</P>
<P>2) rush towards a lone striker with his legs out like a fly ,insead of hands.</P>
<P>3)Punch the ball,when he can easily collect them .</P>

<br><div><br></div><div>@harry191@ArsenalFan700 The only "idiotic" moves I can remember is holding the ball past the line, punching the ball but not hard and have it land near opponent, and sweeping a forward.</div><div><br></div><div>You can't really fault him for the mistakes he's made since, of course, they are mistakes but when they're kept at a minimal and he creates such saves... you have to wonder... is it fair to critisize him so harshly?</div><div><br></div><div>1.)

It is possible to make subrata more disciplined and avoid such blunders...but it is quite difficult to improve the quality of other goalkeepers ..Hardly we get quality players like subrata..
how many I-League matches does you guys see<div>and how many matches does other GK gets for national team</div><div>there are better GK den subrata paul like Bruno, Sandhu, Roy specially Bruno at this age looks more matured and calm than Subrata paul</div>
Karanjeet is a good goalkeeper if not the best. He is more disciplined then Subrata Paul.<br>Gurpreet Sandhu has good height but he makes blunders sometimes. Arindam Bhattacharya was also a good goalkeeper but I am not sure of his current form.<br>
