ender4 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Slightly off day for him but still one of the best goalkeepers in the league. And only because we expect top level from him. Hope he’s back to his best next match and the rest of the season. Edited January 27, 2021 by ender4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 No chance on corner, Wood header went in off the post, he had rest of goal covered. Arguably at fault on McNeil goal but still debateable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Cant help but feel bad for him when we concede poor and freak goals. His general brilliance doesn't deserve it, but only so much he can do. Pope for Burnley also shows just how important a top keeper is.

hippo Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 Big test for him now. It's been plaudits all the way since he got in the Arsenal team last season. I hope we aren't about to discover why he was in Arsenal reserves for so long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup - one keeper was in top form - the other maybe dipped slightly........fine margins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see him fumble any shots or miskick from backpasses. He actually made a really good reaction stop at 1-1 which is being forgotten. Shows how high his standards are if people are looking at him stopping some of the goals. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konsa lost his marbles in the first half when Emi didn't come out of his box for a long ball and Konsa got into trouble for it. Second goal was all him. The other goals weren't perhaps his fault, but he seemed slow and out of position in the third one. Pope was better hands down, now let's see Emi bounce back from this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's incredibly harsh - he's been brilliant for us. But IMO EM of Oct/Nov/Dec - stops two of those goals tonight. Thus far Emmy has been stopping shots he has no right too ...tonight imo he dipped slightly from that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 If he makes 20 wonder saves he's allowed 2 not-so-great saves when let down somewhat by the defence. He even made a fantastic reaction save in the first half so I feel the criticism is harsh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to see the Wood header again on MOTD, I just thought it was a top class header that he angled perfectly into the corner. Perhaps Emi could've moved his feet better but it's a difficult one spinning away from him. Second one is just very awkward to deal with, he's sort of waiting on striker to get a touch but in the end it just goes in anway so have to credit McNeil for hitting it in exactly the right area. Young scored the odd goal like that for us swinging in crosses like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, that doesn't mean can't be criticised. I felt tonight was an off-night for him. Hopefully it's a one-off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But put it like this if you rated all Emis performances since he joined us - tonight would be toward the lower end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the Pele header which Banks saved, so to be fair would have taken a great save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we expect him to save those because of the high standards he has set. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Was the second goal the first mistake he has made? Says more about his high standard, and wasn't that big a mistake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Re the third goal when you're not used to playing on a bog peat your feet are bound to get stuck. Reflect, forget move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Been superb most of the season but could have done better with the 2nd goal today. Hopefully just a blip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
