Can’t be bothered to look back though Anyway we’ve finally got a top keeper. Happy days! Quite a few on here with selective memories, but yeah, who cares? We only moan when we're losing, most of us, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The save was great, but honestly I think the moment I enjoyed most was when one of our defenders (Konsa I think) lamped a terrible ball back to him and he calmly controlled it and passed it out under pressure without somehow spooning it into his own net (because Aston Villa). I'd actually been holding my breath as the ball went back to him. Anyway, what I mean by that laboured anecdote is that I'd rather have a keeper that can consistently do the basics to a high level than one that occasionally saves penalties - although if he makes a habit of saving penalties too I'm not going to complain! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes! Or when he came out and decisively and calmly catched the ball with both hands, despite the penalty area being fully congested with players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf trez made some great first touches off balls in the air. Almost creating something of them twice. Not a brilliamt game by any stretch, but he was actually half decent. Emi Martinez was probably man of the match, not just for the penalty save. Awesome all round performance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 You see his demeanor and how genuinely thrilled he is. Seems he has just craved to be his own man ( Number 1 ) and to be loved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Dealt with everything, even the nervous parts of play where was passed back to Martinez, he just calmly sorted it out. His penalty save was absolutely terrific and amazing. I believe Martinez will be for us like Schmeichel was for utd, he will save us points and at early days 20 mill is looking like a bloody steel. Would not surprise me if Arsenal fans are already going nutz saying *why have we even sold Martinez look how hes playing for Villa* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a revelation to watch and if he keeps those performances up then we will have the best Villa goalkeeper since Mark Bosnich and Brad Friedel.
