Second most overrated player in the Prem after Modric is our Ches.

Was just awful yesterday, the 1st goal totally his fault when he went walkabout and the penalty, the less said the better about that. His tournament is most likely over.
It's doubly humiliating because he's the first keeper to ever have a bad game. Trust us to break another unwanted record.

On reflection though, considering he's playing for the hosts in the 1st game of the tournament, in one they could have won (and maybe they needed to give them a good chance of qualifying) and were leading his poor performance really came at a bad time.Originally Posted by Niall_Quinn
Maybe he can't handle the pressure just like all the rest of Wenger's troops from bottleville?
2 big games in his career
CC final and the first game of the Euro 2012
Shockers in both
Not a big game player
Or maybe he just had an off day. He had a fine season all round with very few mistakes. All 'keepers have bad days.
Long as it doesn't become a habit
It's what can be classed as the worst case scenario for him personally. Like Jens getting himself sent off in the CL final. Or Dave having that toothy guy lob it over his head. It happens. He was playing behind a fairly random back four as well, their guy on the right was decent enough but their left back was nightmarish. And the two in the centre certainly enjoyed leaving a lot of space. Didn't they say the Poles hadn't played a competitive match in 2 years? It showed.

Wenger signings have to be super super quality remember, that means they:
a) Love 5 yard passing
b) Can't shoot
c) Bottle in on the big occasions
If the fulfill 1 or more of the above they're super super quality.
To be honest the Poles were excellent in the 1st half, you can't blame the defence for his mistakes as that wasn't their fault.
He completely misses the ball for one and blatantly takes the guy out for the 2nd, in reality Poland should have lost and only a good save from his deputy stopped that happening. Had he not screwed up I reckon Poland would have 3 points in the bag, especially after the shocking refereeing decision in the 1st half.
I agree keepers have bad days, but to have a bad day in such an important game really is unfortunate.
Sadly for him, those Robert Green moments may well be very costly for his International career.
