Yeah but a couple of seasons ago he was getting massively hyped by the media. He’s better now. And nothing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Must be horrible being one on one with him. They will have watched his highlights and seen that you are likely to score 1 in 10 of one on ones against him . His sheer size is his asset as well. Look at how skinny Vicario and Sa are for instance or how small Raya is. If he is closing you down then you are probably thinking that its going to really hurt . Said it 100 times but he is the closest to Peter Schmeichel there has been in terms of personality and agility for his size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the other day he's now the complete keeper. Super strong in all areas. This season he's been particularly good at spotting the danger early and rushing out to clear the ball. Think Emi mention speed has been something he's working on and it's paying off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season or the season before I actually wasn’t against selling him. Not because I wanted to, but because I felt his reputation was actually better than his ability. He was being rated as one of the best keepers in the world, but I didn’t think he was quite at that level. So my theory was that if someone genuinely wanted to sign him we’d be getting a world record fee for a keeper, most likely, for a keeper that wasn’t actually as good as that. But now I think it’s the opposite. I think he’s got even better and he now is that level. But bizarrely his reputation seems to have gone backwards slightly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A consistent goalscorer though is priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skruff Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I don't pay to mutch attention to football besides Villa anymore.but surely he's the best in the league at the moment? Or the world? I can't think of many better, Courtois? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Emi's had a couple of dodgy games going back to Emirates and let in some soft goals so he's due a World class game there and Thursday was a nice warm up with some of the saves he made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
