6 Petr Cech – Arsenal
Trending
It’s a testament to Petr Cech that despite a horrible start to his Gunners career against West Ham, the Czech has ended the season with the Arsenal fans in a panic if he’s not in goal. Despite spending a month out with injury, playing behind a centre-back pairing that has been lacklustre and inconsistent this season, Cech has picked up the Golden Glove award, keeping 16 clean sheets in the league season.
John Terry asserted before the season that Cech would earn Arsenal 12-15 points; while Cech has not been as amazing between the sticks as normal, the Arsenal man has earned the Gunners a fair few points for sure – including stunning saves against Bournemouth, Liverpool and Stoke.
The 34-year-old has displayed a weakness at his near post, conceding multiple times from low efforts from range – an issue that might concern Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, but which is offset by the presence the Czech veteran brings to the Arsenal goal.
