Over the summer I doubt our goalkeeping options but Stekelenburg shows so much calmness and I feel so confident with him in goal. Keep it up, number 1!

It makes a nice change not having to absolutely squeeze my spintcer every time a cross comes in

2 occasions last night I said to myself 'that's in'. First was Kone's free header from a corner. Stekelenburg just caught it with ease. Second was Khazri's free kick in the second half, he got it over the wall and on target but again Stekelenburg just caught it. I've got so used to any shot on target just automatically going in. Howard's positioning on free kicks was shocking and he seemed to fall over under any pressure on crosses. Stekelenburg is just making the basics of goal keeping look easy as they should be.

He has really impressed so far and a big upgrade on the last few seasons. Long may it continue.

Tbf that free kick was pathetic. Lofted over the wall at snails pace and safely into the goalkeeper's arms.
The Kone header I was slightly concerned about, mind, but wasn't in the corner, was straight at the keeper.
At no stage did I genuinely feel like one of their efforts would fly in.

A bit like you, mate. You go under the radar sometimes but I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you. X

I've got too used to Howard, as soon as a free kick beats the wall I tend to think it's in. Check out Gerrard's in the Jagielka derby, it's practically in the middle of the goal but still went in.

I think Defoe would have scored if he'd got it on target, not that there would have been anything Stek could do if he had.

True, haha. At least it's all just a distant memory. Stekelenberg would be our modern-day Nigel Martyn.
Nothing overly difficult for him to face last night, but he met everything thrown at him and was there when required
Solid keeper
Solid keeper
He hasn't been called upon more than Howard or Robles over the last couple of seasons but that just shows that our defence is more solid. But when called upon he has produced some very good saves. I feel he has already produced a calming effect on our defence with his ability to claim crosses within his zone rather than leaving it to our not so big defence as Howard and to some extent Robles did. A keeper that doesn't flap at crosses is worth just as much as a good shot stopper. Confidence is coming back to the defence so get through them and now you have the extra difficulty in beating a competent keeper. We are looking mean at the moment and restricting teams to very very few chances/efforts albeit Spurs are the only top team we have played so far.
It's so great that we're coming out of games now wit pretty much nothing for anyone to talk about regarding our goalie because he's not screwing up or having any flash point moments. The perfect thing you want from a player in that position.
