Harry says that he made up for it, but I dont believe so. The penalty was embarrassing. It doesnt matter whether he saved it or not. Any goalkeeper worth his salt should at least pary a shot away that is hit straight at him.

Its not the first time either this season that he has cost us. I hope he learns to keep his mouth shut in the press until he regains some form.

We don't have any better keepers and we're not getting any better keepers so we have to take the good with the bad.

As Arry once remarked, ‘people want goalkeepers who don’t make mistakes. Unfortunately, they don’t exist.'

Gomes has been excellent for us. If you can't see that, you're in the wrong sport.

Name one goalkeeper we could improve on Gomes with, realistically...

Your posts are becoming a liability.
He makes some absolutely brilliant saves and is a bit unpredictable and is a bit like how Grobelaar was in his prime for Liverpool.
Robinson looks good each week for Blackburn but do you want someone like him back as we are not going to get any better than Gomes at the moment.
Look at Arsenal"s 3 goalies and have a chuckle instead.

The Ajax keeper has been itching for a big move for a while. Gomes will cost us any chance of glory this season. A total clown!

I didn't give a monkeys about his mistakes when he saved that pen. in the 93rd minute. Had he not done that he would have been pilloried on here. At that moment he became a hero.

I honestly believe that Gomes is our weakest link at the back. yes he makes some fabulous saves/stops (like the Palacios save) but that is what we expect of him. we do not expect him to RAM a player who is going away from goal and concede a penalty. fortunately for us Drogba is off form and is shot of confidence hence the save by the flapper Gomes. he was at fault for the Drogba goal. many a neutral who i speak to point to him as being our weak link. he improved exponentially from his first few months with us. however he is still a liabilty at times.

the problem is that he is loved by some on here who will defend him blindly. i do not believe he is in the top 5 goal keepers in our league.

I have backed up gomes all the way, but now he is costing us with stupid errors in vital games mainly when we are in control, Shay given would be a good choice.

you dead right on that one. i find him absolutely frustrating. his indecision and his inability to read a game is what lets him down. he can make instinctive saves when there is no thought process required but watch when he has to come off his line and clear when the ball is passed to him. he freezes and goes back and forth. i often see BAE deride him for this.

He is becoming a liability again. The Chelsea game wasnt the first game either, he has been making horrendous decisions again. I dont know whats happened to him since last season.

He's been slightly worse than he was last season (where he absolutely magnificent). I don't think that means he needs replacing though.

What a fucking Joke. Gomes has been our best keeper at spurs for a long time. He makes world class saves and keep us in alot of matches. One mistake and people are saying he is shit. Gomes is a great keeper and our best keeper at spurs.

I rate Gomes very highly. Best goal keeper we've had since Clemence

Neur, Adler, Lloris, Lopez, Alves, Benaglio are the only keepers I can think of that potentially could be better or as good.

What about the keeper at the other end. Easily beaten at his near post. Sure Chelsea fans are screaming for him to replaced. Face it gomes save us much more than he lets us down.
