Just thought the fear of a load of clubs suddenly coming in for him might be slightly overblown. It is. Great keeper but more a big game player than a world beater. I don’t think there’s a team out there that can afford him that need a keeper right now. Maybe Atletico but I honestly don’t think he’d wanna uproot his family now they are settled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 30 minutes ago, Vive_La_Villa said: I disagree. Ok one or two goals conceded you’d expect him to save but his general play has been awesome. The amount of time he has come out and claimed balls in to the box has been a joy to watch. Non of this punching business. Then you have great last minute one on one saves against Holland and France. Then 2 key penalty shoot outs. I get you have keepers that made more saves but that’s because they had so much work to do. The best keepers are the ones that don’t not have much to do in a game and then make unbelievable almost match winning saves in key moments. He made some big saves but Argentina conceded 8 goals in the tournament. Its probably the most a winning team has ever conceded Livakovic probably deserved it more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that would come close would be him helping Villa win a CL final imo. I think us and his country will be the two biggest professional loves of his life no matter what happens in future. He may go on to glory at another club eventually, but we have been absolutely pivotal in this moment for him. Neil Cutler, take a bow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Emi is the best keeper in the world in the eyes of every Argentinian . I think this morning that is all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Villarocker Posted December 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2022 The man had mental health issues because he was being overlooked, not given a chance at his club and, considered quitting the sport he loves. He moved to Villa and now his dreams are coming true. Of course his thoughts are messed up and he's enjoying every single minute of it because he's been through the mill to get here and he probably thought it was an impossible dream. Milk it for everything, Emi - you've earned it! As a Villa fan, I'm absolutely thrilled that the 2022 golden glove winner is our 'keeper and he is also a World Champion. As for the celebration with the glove award, that was a big "f**k you" to everyone that ever doubted him. The fact that the Qatari guy was in the background of some pictures is just pure luck and will be symbolised against what was a corrupt event. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post useless Posted December 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2022 Martinez is the main reason other than Messi that Argentina won the tournament without Martinez's golden gloves no World Cup, three clean-sheets, only two other goalies kept as many and he played over three games worth of football more than those two, penalty-shoot out heroics, miraculous saves in the final, of course he deserves it. Besides it seems one of those awards that's pointless to give to anyone other than the keeper of the winning team, I know if I was a goalkeeper I wouldn't be able to care less about the golden glove unless my team had won the whole thing. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desensitized43 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Couldn’t be happier for Emi. Tinged with a bit of sadness because he’s on the radar of some of the worlds top clubs. I think we’re going to really struggle to keep hold of him now. He’s one of the few players we’ve had over the last 20 years who you could describe as genuinely world class. We’ve given him a shot and he’s grabbed it with both hands (no pun intended!). Proud he plays for my club and the part we’ve played in nurturing his talent.

Adam2003 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I don’t think he is the best goalkeeper in the world BUT some people, non-Villa fans, do. When was the last time we had a player who any non-Villa fan might say “oh yes he is perhaps the best in the world in his position.” McGrath?

Popular Post Vive_La_Villa Posted December 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2022 He is the main reason Argentina won both the Copa and World Cup. Messi has been around for years and they have had great teams but always fallen short. Emi was the missing link. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 9 hours ago, VillaChris said: That's a ridiculous save from Coutinho. Said it before but he has that Bosnich like ability to wait until player is about to kick and then spring halfway across the goal. It's actually a surprise he hasn't saved that many penalties for us since he joined. Can remember one on his debut and then Palace earlier this season but Zaha tapped in the rebound. However as we saw tonight if he goes the right way it needs to be a really well placed and powerful shot as he nearly saved two of the Mbappe ones. It’s because of the rules where they have to keep their foot on the line until the kicker strikes. Had that not been the case then he would’ve saved more penalties. Two of Mbappes would have been missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have been on the radar before the world cup it doesn’t take a genius to figure out he’s one of the best keepers in the world. I don’t think scouts and sporting directors are as fickle as opposing fans. But Emi has signed a long term contract recently it would take alot of money to buy him. Only PSG , City , and Chelsea can afford him but they already have good Keepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was every bit as important as a last second winner. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
