Wait, so basically he's saying that Manninger is one of the best keepers in the world, right? Or Buffon is not?

Wow, that's a really freakin' disturbing post.

Why would you discredit Manniger though? He has done great as backup.

Guys.....just promoting some discussion here....I'm by no means anti-Buffon but what really makes him #1 and what makes him stand out above the rest? I know he's good but what makes him the best. The reason I'm asking is because of how good Manninger plays. I'm not saying that Manninger is better than Gigi, but Juve do not look shakier when Buffon isn't playing. I just can't see what makes Buffon so much better than Manninger. A simple look at last season's stats support this, as Manninger conceded fewer goals when deputizing for Gigi.

I think Sissoko got injured soon after Buffon returned as well.

Not trying to discredit Manninger. Just showing the difference in class. Manninger is good. Too good to be a back up in fact, but to say he is better than Gig because of a few games where our defense was terrible is ridiculous.

Many factors are in that equation:

1- Ranieri
2- Sissoko, Marchisio, Chiellini, Zanetti ..etc injury.


The way Ranieri played in the last 10 matches of the Serie A was absolutely ridiculous. I remember that just before the Chelsea games we developed a new habit. If the ball gets taken from the forwards noone is to try to stop it except Buffon. We had so many 1 on 1 in the last 10 games.

Nice try getting the ball off Gigi's hands, Cristiano

He wasn't even looking at the ball, he just knew where it was.

 

[alex_bianconero]

I dont remember seeing a blonde Gigi.

 

[Elvin]

"Dai Gigone, dai!"

 

[Lucky Luke]

damn he could have saved the first penalty too..so fucking close...

From his website, after yesterday's game:

"Alla fine della partita, mi è venuto quasi da sorridere pensando che quando riesco a parare un rigore, non sempre riusciamo a vincere. Vorrà dire che d'ora in avanti non ci proverò neanche più… O meglio, mi limiterò a parare quelli durante i 90 minuti!"

[JCK]

Are you saying that being mature cannot be cool?

Ma che dice?
Translate biatch.

 

[Furia Ceca]

Gigi has a better reaction from close shots and knows when to get out and run to the attacker, plus only being Gigi scares the crap out of the player.

only relatively,more marture now,gigi is always very cool(handsome)
