The First Redcafe Sheep Draft
- Thread starter Moby

An important question:
Does everybody not rate Nikopolidis at all? Or do you feel he's amazing tournament in Euro 2004 should be regarded as his prime so that makes him a worthy enough GK for this draft?

Yep completely agree with this, completely contradicts the whole point of the draft. It should have been stamped out straight away when antohan was doing it in round 1.
Actually screw it you guy can wait for Aldo to see the full list. This way any unlikely mistakes can be rectified behind the scenes before letting it all out.
Goalkeepers doesnt matter a lot and he will be more than worthy if peak can be described as short as an international tournament.
I might have done ok actually. There won't be a pair of players picked in that round with as many medals or caps as my 2 i'd say. Quite versatile too
Best PSG side ever, even better than the current one IMO.
i didn't particularly rate him when he played at the club level but yeah he has 2004 going for him. i think you panicked when it came to him
Two keepers?
Not even one. A failed attempt the last round. Knew it was too risky, should have waited to see what was left
I actually didn't panic, when it came to national teams of my players I had no other options
Can I just blurt out who I got ? I'm very excited y'see
He's borderline sheep IMO
Go on
I sincerely hope someone had a pop at the 1996 Libertadores final.
Or not?
Or not?
That's harsh, he's a solid keeper with an outstanding international tournament, won countless domestic trophies. Far from great of course, but nowhere near a sheep.
Tell us¡
Let's just wait until aldo posts his results.
Ouch. Dont agree at all considering how little goalkeepers really matters. He is far from a liability by any means and that should be enough even for a final.
Nah, a sheep keeper would be someone renowned for being a clown; Taibi, Hilario etc
Nikopolidis is solid if uninspiring, I wouldn't worry about it Viva
I concur with my assistant.
@Cutch This. Why would you ignore that?
I jest a bit but i've lost count of the number of times i've said to myself 'is that grey haired idiot still playin' after seeing a mistake that's cost a goal on the Champions League roundup show.
I'm not convinced there won't be the odd casual voter that assume he is a sheep.
Did you post who you picked and then delete it, Stob?
I didn't look at that final until after I'd already passed the first round, was pretty amazed to see the guy you picked on the left wing. He must have been 17-18. Nice one

Post the results @kps88 !!!!
On one hand he's got that excellent Euro 2004 to his record. On the other, he often seemed to drop clangers on Champions League nights. Leaning towards Cutch's view at the moment.
That's why it's such a great idea that all sheep have to be written in pink. Helps to make sure that no one confuses sheep with less known players.
This.
I'm sure, I'm not the only one who already read the deleted post.
I have no idea what you are talking about.
Me and Gio are fine judges of goalkeepers of course. One of us picked 2 Andy Gorams while the other at this rate will be picking Massimo Taibi
Kohler's last ever game, such a sad ending for such an incredible career. Sent off early and had to watch his team loose the final
.with nikopolodis, i am biased by his performances against us. especially the way he let in a goal when we beat pananthiakos in 2003-04 season if i am not wrong. he didn't play that well and if i remember correctly we were 4-0 up by half-time and he was substituted at around half-time
@sajeev @Cutch @Gio Every player has his off nights, probably Nikopolidis had more of them than most keepers getting picked here, but you don't need to look at his off time, you need to look at his peak and that was Euro 2004.
If you judge Ferdinand by his current ability, you'll say he's prone for mistakes and slow etc etc... But that's not his peak. And Niko's was Euro 2004. Bloody best keeper in the tournament and maybe the MVP of all tournament. come on. He's no sheep, not a very good or brilliant keeper, but he's no sheep.

Just warning you Viva that it might cost you in this. Sure if people only consider his best tournament you should be fine but the worst thing you can have in these drafts is an error prone keeper. I can think of 2 much more higher profile that I havnt seen picked yet probably for that same reason
A peak isn't 6 games to be fair so you can't just use a month of football at the Euro's to indicate the quality of the player. I agree with Cutch that he isn't much cop as a keeper at all.
@AldoPaine18 Still not around?
Next criteria please!
