McClaren: Robinson Is Our Schmeichel
-
Steve McClaren has described Paul Robinson as 'England's Peter Schmeichel'.
In a remarkable show of faith in the error-prone keeper, McClaren confirmed that the Tottenham keeper would play against Estonia on Saturday and announced: "I trust him with my job".
While Robinson has been depicted as the best of an average lot at a time that England are suffering from a dearth of quality keepers, McClown provided compared him to ManYoo legend Peter Schmeichel, considered to be the finest goalkeeper in Premiership history.
"I'm not at all bothered by what I've seen with Robbo. He starts. He is our Peter Schmeichel," McClaren enthused.
Although Robinson has kept 12 clean sheets in his last 14 outings for England, his reputation has been stuck on a downward spiral since a disastrous match in Croatia twelve months ago. He was widely criticised after gifting Germany a goal in last month's friendly at Wembley, but McClaren is adamant that Robinson retains his confidence.
"Everybody is human. Everybody has frailties and makes mistakes.
"I feel the same confidence in Robbo that we had in Peter Schmeichel when I was at Manchester United. I would not play him otherwise." -

He can't even match up to David Seaman. Heck, I am sure Seaman can give Robinson a run for his money.
