As I have said before, it is unfair to judge Gomes on 14 performances this season. It is obvious that performances have been disappointing to date, but then so has the whole team. Confidence is low, so therefore its an unfair assessment on his ability.
All goalkeepers make mistakes but the times that the keeper saves his team outweigh the mistakes in the long run. His poor clearance against Liverpool was an error and we were fortunate to get away with it, but he made up for that with his brilliant fingertip save from Gerrards deflected shot, it essentially allowed us to win the game.
His error in the Udinese game was again down to his kicking, but at then compare that to his performance against Chelsea, he pretty much won us our point there.
I wouldnt class the guy as one of the worst ten this early on, lets not forget when he was at PSV he held countless records for clean sheets, which is hardly the accolade that comes with a poor keeper.
All the best keepers have made errors, Schmeichel did (I still remember his banana kick in the League Cup). Seaman was another one, lobbed on countless occasions when it looked easier to save it.

..... Anyway I wouldn't go as far as to say Fulop was a very good keeper. Average is more what springs to mind when i see him play. He communicates with the back four a lot more than Gordon and seems to enjoy himself, and you can't really judge him on the one gamne against Chelsea. I still think Darren Ward has been a bit harshly treated to be bombed out like he was...I know he's injured right now though
