He had no right to, but he still got a hand to it. What's your overall point sorry? Just that you don't think he's very good? Has him waving a baby Mbappe doll around upset you? My overall point is that because he's getting some attention, Villa fans are panicking about him leaving and in the process overestimating his value to us. He's a good keeper, he's not world class. As a few have said, he's been average for us this season, even poor on some of the goals he's conceded. He should have saved at least one of the Saudi goals, and no right to get to the Mbappe one? It wasn't in the corner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mbappe goal was not unsaveable but nobody expected him to shoot from when he did so its hard for a keeper yo set themselves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your point, but not a very good time to make it. He has not only been in goal for the World cup winners, he has instrumentally had a huge bearing on the outcome. "World class" Goal Keepers have dips in form, but we don't always get to see much of that focusing on domestic football.....Manuel Neuer, who I rate highly, made a cock up at the near post recently, so it happens to the best. I understand where you are coming from, goals across him can be dubious, and questions his positional sense,at times, but its hard to be top at everything, and their mistakes get crucially punished. I think Emi is better than just a good Goal keeper, "World Class" is subjective......but , I can't think of many or any I would swap him with, because his personality too, is so valuable to us. Ps and he was very nice to my Grand kids, playing with his kids.....so that alone means he should stay. Edited December 23, 2022 by TRO 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisvilla4 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I feel he may leave in the summer and I wouldn't begrudge him. Win win for us, millions to spend on a replacement or we keep the glove humper. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s his mentality and he is one of the best keepers in the world when it comes to organising a defence. I’m 100% sure he’s been carrying an injury too hence his slight dip in form. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Why have people completely ignored that that Romano, one of the most reliable journalists going, has said it looks like he's staying with us. A waste of time droning on about him leaving until we hear concrete news of a bid for him or him wanting to leave, the speculation at the moment is just empty and baseless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 His value to us can not be under estimated. He gives the whole back 4 confidence. Olsen creates panic and it tells with the goals we concede with him in goal. If Martinez was in goal against City on the last day Liverpool win the league imo. Suppose every cloud has a silver lining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably pulled off two of the three best saves at the WC against France and Australia. Then you have the penalties against France and Netherlands. Easily tripled his value as golden glove winner at WC and Copa America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
