birdman Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Easy to say in hindsight but daylight robbery of Arsenal. On current form he must be one of the best keepers in the world. Feel so confident having him as the last line of defence and his reactions and distribution are top notch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One For The Road Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 A class act. Not just as a shot stopper, or a 'commands the area' type player, a class act in every way. He is like a younger, better Friedel, and I bloody loved that guy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can just imagine Dean and Purslow covering the other end of the phone and laughing to each other when that bid got accepted. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_1989 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Not sure of the rule change but was anyone else worrying when he handled outside the box...thought it was a sending off offence at one point? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto_Villan Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Funnily enough on the Arsenal boards they mostly seem to be claiming Martinez is incredibly average after we conceeded so many in the Southampton / West Ham / Brighton games. Guess I can see why he wanted to leave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomav84 Posted December 21, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2020 i really think he's the best in the league...i dont see the likes of allisson or lloris as better than him. always said bozzy is the best keeper we've had in my lifetime. his saves against tranmere was the time i fell in love with villa. my first villa shirt was that keeper shirt with Bosnich on the back. and until now we've not had a keeper better than him IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Its close, but he might just be an upgrade on Nyland 3 straight clean sheets. That Wolves performance was right up there 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 It would be amiss to not mention Emi, in our praise of Villa, this season. He seems to exude confidence right through the team, he is more than just a goalkeeper, he is more like the manager of the defence and I think Mings is benefitting from his presence too. can't speak highly enough of him...his enthusiasm is contagious and his presence immeasurable....perfect age for a 'Keeper too. He seems to be wallowing in the responsibilty of being No 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 There was a sequence yesterday when Targett and Mings were harried into the corner and Mings was forced to pass it back to Emi who took the pass and turned with the ball and then roped a nice pass to Cash to end the threat. His Argie training shows through when he has the ball at his feet. But I can't think of one aspect of his game that is flawed in any way. Looking like one of our shrewdest signings in years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
