Cech feels lucky after Cardiff errors

Bernd Leno arrived over the summer and was widely expected to replace Cech in goal, but Unai Emery has stuck with the Czech international. 

It has been a difficult transtion for Cech, who readily admitted he is not used to Emery's style, playing the ball out from the back so much. 

"Everyone picked up on two passes against Manchester City and Cardiff," Cech told 'Sky Sports'. "Obviously, from that number of passes you can make a mistake. I try not to make a mistake. That's clear and obvious.

"You want to use the goalkeeper as an advantage as a spare man. I am not happy with these two passes. We got away with it at Cardiff but I think my overall game has been strong.

"If the team wins and from your mistake nothing happens it's a good way to realise you have to be more precise next time.

"I'm lucky nothing bad happened. I know that everyone will be waiting for the next mistake and trying to put more pressure but that's the way it goes. Playing in goal in the Premier League you play with lots of pressure."
