Arsenal hero Bob Wilson says Petr Cech shouldn't be worrying about playing the ball out from the back.

Wilson is angry that keepers of the calibre of Cech, Hugo Lloris and Loris Karius are being put at risk by being asked to play out from the back.

He said: “I'm old school, very old school. I know goalkeeper coaches will come right back at me, but it's been building up from watching the Champions League final, the World Cup final and then on Sunday.

“It's the most difficult position on the field, believe me. It's eight yards by eight feet, it's 192 square feet, it's a huge great chasm. When I explain that to people they still seem shocked by the sheer size of what goalkeepers have to face.

“Now keepers are expected to play in such dangerous areas where players of the pace of Aguero or Sterling can close you down in the fraction of a second. They can put the keeper in a panic and the keeper has to take risks.

“Most obvious in everyone's mind right now is Lloris in the World Cup final. He was flipping and flopping around. To do something as stupid in the World Cup final is unthinkable.

“Karius will never be forgiven by Liverpool fans and now, to my mind, has to live with that for the rest of his career.

“It's the same for Petr Cech who has won everything in the game bar perhaps the World Cup. He's one of the greatest keepers we've ever seen. He's getting slagged off when he shouldn't be.

“I think the World Cup and Champions League final, the start of this season with Arsenal, I just don't understand that risk and gamble."
