Manchester City. It seems too late to congratulate our heroes in this season, but its better too late than never right. Although the feeling is almost gone because of the EURO  and the new season who is around the corner, but YOU are the best, Manchester City. It seems like my blood now really turn from red to light blue. Almost every important game I watch they playing. Sometime sloppy, sometime great, sometime unbelievable. Almost every game ears need to be turned deaf because of the fans for the other club is much more than our fan. Okay, lets move on to the real topic today, the players analysis.


1- GOALKEEPERS

Joe Hart
He is the best by distance compared to the others keeper. Although the other keepers cannot be compared to him because lack of time playing, he is really the best. His concentration is superb. There is no stupid error that is made him in full season from I remember. His reaction is almost the best in league. For next season, expecting he become more matured and become the best in the world. The moment for remember last season is almost scored the goal that can make City advance through for Europa league against Napoli, his header is really inches wide from the goal.

Costel Pantilimon
Signed on loan as the backup for Joe Hart before made permanent latter on. 25 years old, same as Hart. He made debut in League cup, playing only 4 game for City, but two of the game is against top team, Arsenal and MU. Against Arsenal in league cup, he plays solidly that make he earn the place on the goal for decisive third round FA cup against MU. He made remarks on that game where he saved Rooney penalty kick although he cannot save the follow up. As he is the backup for Joe Hart, Manchester City should not be worried in this position as these two players have years in front of them. More than 10 years later only we need to sign a new top class goalkeeper.

Stuart Taylor
Our third choice goalkeeper in season 11/12. because of the signing of Costel Pantilimon, he down the pecking order to become the third choice goalkeeper for The Champions. He is released by City at the end of season and currently become a free agent.

Gunnar Nielsen
Faroe Islander's goalkeeper, Nielsen is another goalkeeper for City in season 11/12. He not playing and make a bench for whole season. He is also released with Stuart Taylor and the end of the season.







So, now, Manchester City only have 2 goalkeepers. Mancini should not buy any goalkeeper next season. As for third choice goalkeeper, we should only use our academy youth product such as Eirik Holmen Johansen and Tom Halsall.
