DaveAV1 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 12 hours ago, Stevo985 said: Keepers rarely line up centrally on free kicks. It’s why you have a wall. You have to trust that the wall will protect that side of the goal and you guard the other side of the goal. A more central position probably would have given him a better chance of saving it, but then the other side of his goal is completely exposed. At this level a player could just drill the ball into the top corner. He also runs the risk of being completely unsighted because he’d be stood behind his own wall. You have to accept that if someone puts it in the postage stamp then they’re going to score. It’s a percentage game Having occasionally played in goal for our cobbled together indoor 5 a side team in a lunchtime league at the Villa Leisure centre, many years ago, I feel qualified enough to completely agree with you on this! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Best goalkeeper in the world. More than made up for his error for the goal with that save in injury time. I dont think I've ever seen a better keeper in one on one situations than him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 What miscommunication? Emi comes for the ball. Lenglet obviously hears him. At this point it's all Lenglet's job to just stand in front of your man and let Emi collect the ball. It's pretty standard and not really an Emi mistake. Lenglet just stands there like a statue not doing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightdm00 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Miscommunication with Lenglet for the first goal but absolutely immense at the end there. I swear he's the best keeper I've ever seen 1v1. He makes it look routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 That save was epic, it is now becoming his trademark. Of course none of the media will talk about it at all, not to mention he's been producing moments like that ALL season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
