Agree with Szczesny - had a howler that went unpunished because Song covered well. He has his mad moments but I wouldn't say he has many more than other keepers out there. The job of the goalkeeper is to be decisive; very occasionally you'll get it wrong and will need help from your defence. In the last 3-4 seasons, our goalkeepers have cost us a lot more points than they've saved us. There's no doubt that by the end of the season, Szczesny will have saved us far more points than he will cost us.
I thought Song was one our best players. Came on strong in the second half and kept the middle ticking when others disappeared or made silly errors that could have cost us.
