Cech is too slow to save penalties. It's always a slow half hearted move either side of the goal. To be fair the all is in the back of the net before he even moves

*ball

We have conceded 5 pens at home and 3 were so soft and the other 2 debatable.

Can't expect too much from an average keeper. The sooner we make Ospina number 1 the better

Cech does the simple things very well and it's very rare that he will make a complete howler.

However, he is poor at shot stopping and his reflexes are extremely slow

Was going to make an article on this .
His penalty saving record with us is plain awful. Always seem to dive opposite to where the ball is headed.
There is something to be said for staying in the middle of the goal till the kick is taken and then diving for the ball or easily stopping the cheeky ones down the middle.

His penalty saving record has always been awful. Nothing to do with age. Just accept it for what it is or stop giving away idiotic penalties

More Allen ran into his elbow mate when he tried to win the ball but the ball was already played.

He is garbage at saving penalties

Yes Bayern Munich fans agree with you lol

Shoot out vs Bayern is probably the perfect example of how bad he is at saving pens, diving the right direction all the time and saving only one of them

Lehmann was much much better for us then Cech had been. Ospina is better too. Cech hasn't been much of an improvement on Szczesny

saved one during the game too

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Cech can't save penalties at all, he's useless at them.

Chelsea got KO'd two times in the CL on pens when he was there. Even the Bayern final, he only saved one from 6 (Robben in ET).

Sczcesny made some amazing penalty saves.

I'd rather GK who is poor at saving pens and pretty good at everything else. Ospina may or may not b good at saving pens but one thing for certain when he ball is played onto our bob he will not just come out and pluck the ball out of the air with ease.

Szez and almunia were good at saving pens but total liabilities at everything else. How about we stop giving away stupid pens.

Cech is a quality GK he's just garbage at pens

He has never been great at pens, but comments in this article went well beyond that specialism

What comments? One guy calling him average?

I don't think he's average but he hasn't been a major improvement on Szczesny like he was supposed to be. I get that he brings title winning experience and is probably a leader in the dressing room but on the pitch I doubt we would have seen a huge difference with Szczesny or Ospina there instead

Hasn't been a major improvement on Chesney? Is that a joke? Do you remember how terrible that guy was?
Cech is a quality player. His solidity and experience has been an asset
Sometime it seems people talk nonsense for the sake of it.

If we stopped giving away stupid pens we would have one of the best defences in the pl.

Ospina shot stopping and reflexes are as good as any keeper in the league
