Rolta Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) 4 hours ago, Laughable Chimp said: Missed the game but according ti the highlights and comments regarding how we played, seems like we finally got s preview of what its like to have a game where Martinez couldn't bail us out. This is such a negative thing to say. We were sloppier than usual last night but the first half was fairly even. After that Watkins, usually reliable, miscontrolled to give them two breakaway goals they finished well. I can't remember the other goal. West Ham looked good, we looked tired.

villa89 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 He'll be disappointed with both JLINGZ goals but if that's his only bad game this season he'll have done well. A clean sheet now versus the arse would be nice for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's hardly ever had a run of games his entire career until now, so it's tough to say either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stevo985 Posted February 4, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2021 Any talk of him being dropped is **** obscene! It was a rare poor game for him. Probably his first one in a Villa shirt. He's earned plenty more chances. He's been a class keeper for us, and I'm confident this is just a blip 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Remember heatons 1st game? He made a absolute clanger. Martinez hss been a step above 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono62 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 It's standard when someone has a bad game, MUST be dropped. Then when said person is dropped, WHY was he dropped?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouUnastanFren Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Statistically 3rd best shot stopper in the league by my reckoning, he was 1st before last night. Add to that he's good with his feet and the best in the league at catching. Absolute baller who unfortunately made a few mistakes in one game. Has won us far more points than the one he arguably cost us yesterday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His distribution hasn't looked as good in recent matches either which was a big strength of his earlier on in the season. As you say though any thoughts of dropping him are completely mental. He's just won us 3 points against Southampton a game before this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 There's a lot of talk that COVID can impair your mental sharpness, which might explain what happened last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 One thing I have noticed with our defence is that when we do concede, we seem to always concede 2 or more in a game. The Chelsea game is the exception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 He's been mostly brilliant this season. Probably most games we have won , he's stopped a goal or two ... The question is, when he isn't at his super human best - how good is this villa team ? Does all the slick play this season , rely on EMI stopping 2 or 3 (or even more) certain goals a game ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who cannot see how amazing he has been so far in a Villa shirt needs to pay a visit to the opticians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Wow, some of the posts on here are quite incredible. This fella has probably given us an extra 10 points this season already with his exceptional goalkeeping. A slight dip in what has been remarkable form is no reason to change things.

Vive_La_Villa Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Has anyone really said he should be dropped? I can only think it must be kids that got a bit too emotional after his bad game: I’m so glad I rarely ever use social media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
